Some laptops come with preinstalled PDF readers/ creators. You can decide to use the same, or choose to opt for a better one if needed.

Browsers

the Internet is what drives the world these days. Your laptop needs to have a good browser that is capable of advanced features. The operating system you choose comes with its own browser.

Microsoft Office

We do not think we even need to mention this piece of software. The entire world is dependent on MS Office for any sort of documents. There are other alternatives like Open Office though.

The resolution and other display details would be preset on most of the laptops. However, the settings may not be suitable for your needs.
The preset settings may be too small, or too large and thus may not suit your requirements. You can change it to your satisfaction by going into the settings for the display. You can scale it up to 150, or you can choose it to 100. The exact settings will depend upon your preferences.

4 Remove any bloatware

Your new laptop comes with a host of preinstalled software. Most of it may not be needed for you. You can uninstall the applications you would not need.

Just like your smartphone has a lot of preinstalled bloatware, so does your laptop. The manufacturer might have added a few tools that you practically do not need. Laptops in comparison to smartphones have an advantage. You can remove the tools you do not need. It may have the demo versions of a huge list apps you would not purchase at all. There may be a few games with in-app purchased that you are not interested at all. Just go into the appropriate settings and remove the unneeded software.
