Completely bullshit, garbage clickbait title.

Windows 10 is near EoL, however that’s for Home/Pro/Enterprise versions, you can move to one of those for more time:

To be fair I don’t really believe that Microsoft will kill it when they say they will. And even if they do it, porting security updates from those LTSC versions into the regular ones might be doable.

Now on Windows 11:

You can just disable copilot and all the other garbage using group policy, now that hard and you’ll end up with essentially Windows 10.

Doesn’t group policy tweaks gets reverted on update or something like that? I heard about this group policy workaround and also heard something that said it wasn’t that great of a solution.

No, that’s a myth. Registry edits may revert in some cases yes, but group policy is different as it designed exactly to configure machines in a stable way.

Glad to hear that. After trying to linux and not having a great experience, I am forced to comeback to Windows. Will try these out next time.

On that note, do we have some good Windows forks/builds which remove the bloat for us? I heard about lot of them, not sure which one is actually worth trying.

You should not trust those builds. Everything you need to know is documented here: …microsoft.com/…/manage-connections-from-windows-…

Windows 10/11 Enterprise is recommended as that’s the version where Microsoft can’t fuck up.
