New Laptop Best Practices

$

0
I have a new laptop (PC, Windows 7 Pro, Toshiba). What should I do/download/install/uninstall/set up to keep it running in tiptop brand new shape? I'd like to make sure my new laptop starts out as clean as possible, minus any factory-installed crap. I also want to have the best and most current antivirus software on there as well. This answer is pretty thorough, but is also 5 years old. What's the current version of that? All I've done so far is plug it in, turn it on, go through the "first time setup" windows, and open IE long enough to download Chrome.

Bonus Question: What's the easiest way/best cable to get stuff off of my old laptop and on to my new one? I'm an avid Evernote user and a mostly clueless/occasional Dropbox user, if that helps with certain things. I've got a crapton of photos and fonts. No real special needs beyond that.

Thanks!
