Hey all!

I know it sounds weird but I need to uninstall all gaming software from my MSI GE70 Apache Pro-012 laptop. I'm a graphic designer/photographer and I bought this laptop with 12 GB of RAM thinking it would be able to handle all my Adobe programs, like photoshop and premiere. I'm not really sure exactly WHAT I can uninstall so if anyone could help me or direct me to the right place, I would be eternally grateful!

Thanks!
:) tricia

Start->Control Panel->Programs and Features-> int he new window you'll find a list of all the software installed on your computer.
Make sure you know what you're removing before doing so, as some software might be drivers that keep your system functioning properly. You might lose certain system functionality if you remove software needed by the laptop. If you want a hand with this either post here or get in touch: m3technologies@yahoo.com

By the way, Tricia, check this list out and see fi there's anything like this on your computer:

Dragon Gaming Center is the one you'd want to remove, but you can read the mini description for each item in the list and...

Open control panel
Programs and features
Uninstall programs
Locate the games and uninstall them

Edit: Did you buy that PC recently? If yes, you just need to uninstall gaming apps from the microsoft store.If it was used by another user before usually major games installed on your PC could be 1GB or higher in space, in case you needed help to identify them.

Dragon Gaming Center is the one you'd want to remove, but you can read the mini description for each item in the list and you'll know if it is required or not. Also, you may have other bloatware that comes bundled with the computer. Your best bet might be just taking a printscreen of the Programs and Features list on your computer and posting it here for more precise guiding.

If you are having issues with the Windows program list from the solutions above, you can also download and install CCleaner and uninstall it that way.
That is my favourite way to uninstall programs because the list generates faster and I have more control over the uninstall process.
