Yeah, it's really common for Best Buy to trick you into buying something they don't need. If your computer has old pre-built stuff, you should just do a fresh start (clean install) to take out all the extra programs that come with them, since many of these companies and Best Buy put junk software there.

Common advice from places like Best Buy and other shady sites is totally unnecessary. Just take an hour and zero dollars to fix it. Here is how to do a clean Windows 11 install step by step: This guide helps you, even if you have older versions that look different on the screen but are still mostly similar.

Power it up so everything starts working, then do a total wipe and fresh start like this guide says to do next.
