Hi!
I didn't have time to wait for a new Mac Pro or build my own Hackintosh so I ordered one from a british company. I have a somewhat special need to run W7 (I know, I know) so it's configured and preinstalled as such.
However, one thought that keeps sneaking up on me is "What if they built in some backdoor, spyware or other stuff like that?". I know I could simply format and reinstall Windows just to be sure, but I would wish to avoid that since the installation is a bit custom in order to get W7 working on modern hardware (skylake, thunderbolt 3 card, Samsung 960 NVMe et cetera).
I mean, I'll run Windows Defender and check with AVG but there's probably nasty things that they won't catch.
What would you recommend?
