alt Hacker NewsAnyone have a good guide to (re)install Windows without any of the bloat? Preferably using Group Policy vs registry changes.
I've seen Tiny11 referenced but haven't seen a good guide for it.

Install Windows 11 Education edition (which rips all of the AI shit out mostly with sane defaults for schools). If you need the ISO, Microsoft's default Win11 ISOs have it. Use https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ to get a good autounattend set up to rip out the extra bloat and set up a clean install. Activate with Massgrave HWID. You're done.
