Hey y’all

I’m taking a college course which is hell bent that its students use Windows 11. Currently my laptop is still using Windows 10 and if there is no bloatware/AI free way to install Windows 11, I’m just going to bite the bullet and install it the regular way. So if anyone knows of a relatively bloatware free way of installing Windows 11, please let me know.

p.s. For those who would encourage me to use Linux. For my desktop I already use Linux Mint.

            Some professional software licensing options dint work in vms, either.

            Solidworks single-seat licenses won’t activate in a VM, for instance.

            Not saying that’s OPs specific use case, but it’s an example of another constraint

      I agree that they shouldn’t have picked Windows but it makes sense to keep everyone on the same software stack to avoid wasting time helping people install basic stuff that might or might not run on their systems

      You have no idea what is going on behind the scenes, and neither do I, so we can’t call it bullshit by default.
