bundled software

Comes with device

Bundled software is programs included with the purchase of hardware or other software rather than sold separately.

A new computer comes with bundled operating system, antivirus, or productivity software.

Bundling adds perceived value, though users may find unwanted programs cluttering their system: I had to uninstall all the bundled software that came with my laptop.
