>>20542which way is the best? i remember uninstalling mcafee on my old laptop and it still tried to nigger its way into my consciousness

>>20543Use the uninstaller in the Settings app. Make sure you uninstall everything with McAfee in it, it worked for me IIRC

if you buy a prebvilt, the first thing you do is reinstall windows if you aren't a linuxfag. Just use 10 pro lts or whatever and then use a activation script

is there any AI stuff i should remove? i dont really plan on using my computers ai integration slop unless if copilot is somehow a must-have

>>20548Honestly if you don't know how to do it, it's probably more trouble than it's worth. Are you on windows 11 and want to be on 10? That is the only reason I would go through with learning that

There's this tool made by some 'tuber that's really good and gives you a concise menu for common things that you would otherwise need to be autistic to know about
https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutilThere are buttons to even remove things you normally aren't able to like edge and defender. It has package installs via chocolatey too so you can install things in one click like heckin troonix

just use LTSC 2024 IoT, it comes with 0 bloat
â„–20561[Quote]
>>20560Microsoft has long term support channel (LTSC) builds of windows for enterprises that get updates longer than consumer versions. There are multiple versions with LTSC but IoT is a version for internet of things (IoT) devices that comes with no bloat because the hardware on those devices is usually slow

>>20559This is not me, but it's pretty much the same thing I was talking about with reinstalling windows. It's really not that bad, you just need a flashdrive and ventoy/rufus installed on it and the ISO file from microsoft. You boot from the flashdrive, wipe the system disk, then install as usual. Then you can run an activation script and then even that debloat script for the registry tweaks and whatever else that doesn't get removed like telemetry

>>20561interesting thanks

>>20564A USB with Ventoy is actually a really useful tool to have. It's one drive that you can use to boot or install any OS you have just by dragging and dropping ISOs onto it beforehand. You can put MacOS, Linux distros, windows, TempleOS, or whatever you want and just select which one you want to use at boot. Linux distros especially have LiveUSB environments you can use to try them without touching your main disk at all.
