Debloating Windows 11

[Drac0]

Got my new mini pc today, only ordered it Monday! As this is going to be purely for control & imaging I want to pare down the OS for best performance & rid it of anything unneeded. Currently preparing to move the system over to the NVMe & will debloat the fresh install.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good debloating guide to use.

Cheers,
Mark

Sorry can't help with debloat specifically but, if you get a "lite" version from your favourite Bay, it will have all the kruft removed before install :) I use Win10Pro_2009.985_Lite.ME.iso on my imaging lappy, no sound but otherwise perfectly dekrufted.

I have been looking at a few of the script packages available & was really just wondering if anyone had tried any they would recommend...

I cant help with Win11, but I do have a handy script for Win10 that strips out a lot of rubbish. If you're handy with a text editor you can 'tune' the script to remove more or less of the cruft. Not for the faint-hearted, though!

That's what I've ended up doing, pretty much a minimalist install now. :)
