How can I remove Pre-installed McAfee? Windows 10

It was the late great Robear who was probably the main provider of answers to this question. He helped me in my May 2016 thread here https://tinyurl.com/y925ryg5

My new Lenovo came with McAfee pre-installed - are his procedures still good please?

PS Should this be in V&M?

Hi Taffy,

Yes, he is fondly remembered and sadly missed, the only and best way to remove McAfee is using MCPR, the McAffee Removal Tool. The uninstaller on McAffee is not good and leaves remnants of McAffee all over your PC
