What is the RIGHT PROCEDURE to REMOVE Dell Bloatware

Yes, I know this a a MS forum, but I don't want to screw my Windows 10 system up by removing/uninstalling all of the Dell bloatware in my system.

I have a new Dell Laptop, Windows 10 Home, about 2 months old.  My old system died and I did not have time to order a Dell Precision computer, which I understand does not contain any Dell bloatware.

Anyway, I am finding Dell stuff all over my new system and do not know how ingrained this stuff is in the Windows 10 system -- and am a little worried about going in and just bulk uninstalling everything with a Dell name on it.  [Another reason that I want to remove the Dell stuff is that I am getting a Windows Service Start Failure error that a lot of posts I am seeing attribute this error to some of the Dell support-ware stuff.]

So I just wanted to check if there was a step-by-step procedure to follow in removing the software without affecting the Windows 10 system.

So any help, direct or references to other people doing this would be appreciated.

Thanks.    ron in round rock
