    ReviOS for the Windows user. It’s not a OS, but a collection of scripts which convert Windows in what it should have been.

      Thank you internet stranger, I’m getting a new computer soon and I will be trying this!

      Is it smart enough to pull the activation code from the BIOS if I buy a computer that has that?

        Please do not trust modified windows installs based on old (22H2) update packs, you’re much better off debloating your fresh, up-to-date, already licensed install using some powershell wizardry…

        Chris Titus has made a gui for this that you can access with a single powershell command. He also has made a guide on which settings he recommends to debloat a fresh install.

        This way you aren’t entrusting your OS, privacy and data to some random unsecure repack. I can find the link for you if you would like :)

            Apologies for not having seen this until now, if you are still wondering and haven’t found the tool yourself, you can launch it by opening a windows terminal as admin and typing

            irm christitus.com/win | iex

            as soon as chocolatey is installed a gui will launch allowing you to easily install common software, uninstall bloat, apply tweaks (such as disabling telemetry), and control windows updates. It’s a great one stop shop for setting up any fresh/existing windows install, and is continuously updated with reliable and transparent documentation.

            If you would prefer a video about the tool, the latest one is here: https://youtu.be/GQBRrVGgB_Q
