... but it depends on what you do with your computer. If you have to sign up, create an email account, etc., I'd say no, that it is just another way for Microsoft to collect your data.

I don't use it on my personal computers, and we don't use it at work (and I set up all the PCs)

I also don't use Edge. you can set the default to IE 11

You can google to find out what 'bloatware' you can get rid of, depends on what manufacturer the laptop/pc is. Dell loads up all kinds of bloatware that I regularly remove.
