Today (10 January 2021) i bought a new lenovo ThinkPad laptop which comes with DOS only. and I had the sheller shop installing windows 10 pro inside the new laptop.
Then i login to the PC and everything seems workings >> i download MCAfee + Google Chrome >> but when i went to the Downloads folder i found that ChromeSetup.exe is already installed on 25 November 2020!! as follow:-
i checked the EventViewer and i found many actions on the Laptop on 25 November 2020 as follow:-
also inside the ProgramFiles seems there are some folders created on 25 November as well, as follow:-
here what i get inside the control panel >> uninstall program:-
so does this mean that my new Laptop is not really new and has been used by other person?
Thanks
Maybe it was checked by shop’s personnel?

The simplest solution may be to clean install it yourself. You can download the installation media here.

@Anonymous is there documentation on how i can run an installation media on windows 10 pro ? and will i need to install drivers for the hard-desk and screen, etc..
You simply boot the installation media, delete / recreate partition, let windows install, then install the pc manufacturer chipset, followed by the manufacturer driver support pack. If you need more detailed then I'd check the pc manufacturer's site for specific instructions for your hardware. Something here may also help.

Hi,
I suggest you contact the sheller shop for any changes to this computer.
If windows 10 is a clean installation, there should be no ChromeSetup.exe.
Hope above information can help you.
