Shockingly MS does offer anyone to make a flash drive from their main website for free, can be a good way to get rid of pre-installed AV software.

I think the average user does not know how to download the installer for clean installing Windows, so including a flash drive with Windows on it would be better.

It would be nice if popular antivirus makers like Bit Defender can team up with MS to make a version of Windows which come pre-installed with BitDefender, and you can activate Bitdefender license key with your outlook account if you use an outlook e-mail to register the antivirus instead of typing in a long license key.

Even if you include a usb, most devices make it rather hard getting onto boot device to select the usb.

It is too bad that computer makers don't make a physical switch to make it easy to boot from a USB by pressing a button instead of going into the BIOS/CMOS to make it possible to boot from USB.

That would be so awesome, but sadly they make things harder and harder for techs.

I remember when it was possible to turn-off Wi-fi with a Switch on a laptop. It seems that computer makers are taking away more features to save money.

Hopefully, computers still come with a power button in the future, and not become always on, or require users to buy a remote to turn on their PC.
