What to do after System Recovery on DV6 Notebook?

‎06-21-2012 01:49 PM

HP Pavilion DV6-1359WM

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

 

 

The dv6 notebook I'm helping a friend with had become very slow, unresponsive at times, tons of pop ups, etc. I decided to restore to factory settings, which went fine. Once I did the initial setup of Windows, when the reset was finished, I went into the control panel and removed Norton and several other bloatware programs.

 

Now, my question is this. Since I have a clean new start. Avast now. and several programs gone that were lagging the laptop, what should I do from here? Go ahead and allow for the 100 plus updates Windows found? Check for the latest drivers?

 

Any help or tips on where I should go from here would be appreciated. We just want to be sure the computer is running at its highest potential and performance.

 

Thanks!
