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.

For further nagware avoidance, remember that the Enterprise editions of Windows come bundled with the group policy editor (gpedit.msc, stick that in your run prompt) and will respect group policy settings with the intent of system administrators having control over various components and features.
In your case, a the system administrator is you.
For the purposes of decluttering your start menu specifically, for instance, I’ll link everyone to this comment I wrote the other day which lists off the policy settings you’ll want to mess with — including disabling Copilot completely.

Yes, edited. I usually use Alexandrite and copying links from it is weird.
Hey, it’s the guy who makes all those amazing posts about knives! I’ve ordered many a knife because of you.
Love his ridiculously in-depth reviews, read 'em all! Not even a knife guy!
I would only add that OP should have O&O ShutUp on their PC and run it after the initial install, and then make it a habit to run it after system updates. It also helps you delete Copilot.
