   Got a new computer with #Windows 10?

   
   

   Here is the best way to enhance its #privacy, hardening its #security and increase its #speed.

   
   
   

   1. Insert the #Xubuntu installer USB

   
   

   2. Reboot your #computer

   
   

   3. Follow the instruction on the screen to install #Linux

   
   

   Important: When prompted, make sure to choose "use the whole disk" otherwise problems may persist depending on your boot choices!

      @utzer I can confirm that - but with a clean & stable #Debian.

      Had to fix two laptops with UEFI and Windows today. Windows wouldn't boot, but my USB stick with Ubuntu was flawless. Unfortunately, I managed to fix the problems, so the client doesn't get to benefit from a new OS.

         I don't understand UEFI at all, I disabled it after I had a problem like that 4 years ago and did not solve it but only solved it be reinstalling the computer.
