and this one isnt a tool but more of a tip. When installing Win11, set the region to English (world). This will prevent bloat from being installed by default, then use the OOBE\bypassnro command at the M$ account screen to skip signing up for a M$ account.
OOBE\bypassnro no longer works on shipped computers. You have to have a old installer of 11 to use it. There are other ways. Mines a bit more hands on but I end up with a machine with a single local account. Those that tell you install linux and its fixed don’t really live in the real world. As much as I would like to never have to touch windows its not going anywhere soon.
No idea but here’s some tools you should look into
BloatyNosy
privacy.sexy
Windows Spy Blocker

I just used it like 3 weeks ago on a win11 Iso from M$s website. Are you positive that got changed?
also; Ive been daily driving linux for 5 years with mostly no issues. i only touch windows when requested by other people :P
I said shipped computers. Its gone on oem installed dell’s and lenovo’s.
Oh, sorry I missed that. I would use a new Iso anyway because of how much BS bloatware comes on pre-builts.
