HP devices come with a lot of pre-installed software. We typically just blow away the default HP image and install a copy of Win10 Enterprise from our Volume License ISO. We then go back and install any firmware/bios updates, drivers and software that we want to have on the image. I'm curious if anyone is finding any of HP's own software to be of any use/benefit. Using the EliteBook 840 G6, G7 & G8 as an example, here's a list of every "HP branded" software product they offer for those models. Are you installing, using and/or keeping any of these?
