You can still have a debloated Windows 11 setup without the bloat by just selecting "English (World)" in the localisation option during installation. Add to that the "no@thankyou.com" trick while signing in to Microsoft account and you'll have an option of a fresh, clean locally-administered install.
- genocidicbunny 3y agoDidn't they fix the English (World) trick at some point? Regardless of that, supposedly for this you just need to set your region to somewhere in the EU during initial installation; Though that can't be changed post-install.
- dartharva 3y agoI installed Windows 11 just this month, the trick is still working.
- lostmsu 3y agoWhat's the deal with no thankyou? Are you just giving access to your machine to the owner of thankyou.com?
