Hello,
I just received my new computer, which is an HP Pavilion dv7. I want to uninstall some HP programs because they take up a lot of space. But which ones from this list are necessary for the proper functioning of the machine and Windows?

- HP 3D DriveGuard
- HP Advisor
- HP DVB-T TV Tuner 8.0.64.43
- HP Games
- HP MediaSmart DVD
- HP MediaSmart Internet TV
- HP MediaSmart Movies and TV
- HP MediaSmart Photo
- HP MediaSmart SmartMenu
- HP MediaSmart Video
- HP MediaSmart Webcam
- HP Power Plan
- HP Quick Launch
- HP QuickWeb Installer
- HP Setup
- HP SimplePass Identity Protection
- HP Software Framework
- HP Support Assistant
- HP Tone Control
- HP Update
- HP Wireless Assistant

It's important to note that some of these HP programs are linked to other (non-HP) programs because I uninstalled a program that seemed unnecessary and as a result, my fingerprint reader no longer works.
Thank you for letting me know their role if you know.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    none are necessary but all have their role, don't delete any as they are the access to the accessory settings

    you can delete the antivirus, office, etc. all the "trial" software limited in duration

    now read the manual, reset your PC to factory settings, then create the backup DVDs, essential in case of hard drive crash

    put them in a safe place, but don't lose them like most people do
