Due to CAD/CAM and the nature of my industry, I’m stuck with windows on my daily driver for the foreseeable future. (Been using Linux since Ubuntu was new, have multiple servers and old chromebooks running different flavors.)
I’ve been putting off dealing with this. Goatfucking bullshit pain in my dick. Ffffffuck me right in the ass. I would happily slit Clippy’s throat right in front of his little paperclip children and sleep like a baby.
Can I pretty please get recommendations on upgrading to 11 and unfucking it as much as possible? Comfortable editing the registry, using the command line, and monkeying with the BIOS. Anybody know of a good guide for neutering all the AI shit, copliot, onedrive nagging?
*Edit - Solved:
Thank you all very much! This is the advice I was looking for.
Long ago, I learned that when preparing to do a machine incantation; you must give the machine a good cussing. It shows the machine you are the boss and the machine gods are more likely to smile upon your efforts. I have a black cat and crossroads dirt in case things get real bad.
Clean install using Rufus can turn a lot of “features” off from the get-go.
ShutUp10++ continues to be updated for 11 and can undo what it does in case of problems. No more Xbox pop-up ads in the OS for the office ladies. 🙄
Otherwise, look into Windows 10 alphabet soup edition. (Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IoT) It still gets security updates for years.
I’m going to be looking into LTSC first. Will also be giving the rest of your recommendations a look. Thank you much!
