Hello, I've had an Acer laptop for a year (Windows 10) and there are many programs whose usefulness I don't know. I would like to uninstall the software I don't use, but I don't know what to remove. If someone can help me, I would really appreciate it as I'm not very knowledgeable about computers. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps ^^.

Here are the installed programs:

Acer:
abDocs
abDocs Office Addln
abFiles
abPhoto
Acer Care Center
Acer Portal
Acer Power Management
Acer Quick Access
Acer UEPI Framework
AOP Framework

Do I really need all that software for ITunes?

Well, yes! You need these files and software for the computer to work...

If in your car you remove components like the spark plugs, the belts, the caps, the alternator, the starter, the filters, the valves, the pistons... you'll still have a nice car, but you'll only be able to sleep in it!
You might not necessarily know the function of the parts in your engine; that doesn't justify throwing them in the trash...

Yes, of course there are essential software tools, but for example, abDoc, tips, weather, finance... are they useful or not?
