preinstalling
Adding before shipping
Preinstalling is putting software on a device before the end user receives it.
Computer manufacturers preinstall operating systems and bundled applications on new machines: The laptop came with a lot of bloatware preinstalled.
The practice shapes what software people use by making certain programs immediately available.
