New Acer Computer with a ton of bloatware

I purchased a new acer computer with Windows 8.1 on it. There is a ton of bloatware on it that I'd like to remove. I use my computer for my online store on Etsy storing listing photos, personal photos and correspondence for my shop and personal correspondence. I also have Photoshop Elements and Microsoft Publisher that I would like to load on my computer but not until I can clean this junk off. I'd also like to make a copy of the way the computer is set up software wise after I remove this bloatware so if I ever need to reset the computer I can do so without the bloatware going back on.

This is the log for my computer:

Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 8.1 with Bing, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J1900 @ 1.99GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 55 Stepping 8
Processor Count: 4
RAM: 3978 Mb
Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics, -2042 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 461180 MB, Free - 432049 MB;
Motherboard: Acer, Aspire XC-603G
Antivirus: Windows Defender, Disabled

I did put AVG anti-virus in (free version for now) and Malwarebytes (free version) as well.
I did set up Windows Live Mail as well.

Other than that, I've not added anything else.

I did read about CCleaner and PC Decrapifier but I was not comfortable with using either because of comments made in reviews of these products. I figured it was better to ask first before screwing up my brand new computer.

I know just enough to be dangerous and would rather find out how to get this bloatware off step by step so I don't mess up my computer. TIA for any assistance you can provide.
