Windows 10 debloating

[Overjoyedcorn]

I was watching a few videos on youtube about windows 10 debloating. They were saying that it removes all the junk programs/apps and you can have gains in performance from it because the  ram you get back, would this only be beneficial to low end pc or both? Is it safe to do?

I HIGHLY suggest to not do any of this uninstalling, (except for OneDrive and Dropbox if you don't want it)

For the risk you take of ruining your windows image, as well as the minute *possible* performance boost, it is not safe and/or worth it.

windows 10 is comes with a shit ton of bloat apps pre-installed, including a alot of tracking stuff and so on...

 

first thing i do when installing windows

 

1. install windows and use a LOCAL user account and not an hotmail accounts/micrsoft connected account

1. make sure to have all latest updates

2. remove ALL pre-installed apps (expect calculator)

3. disables ALL privacy settings, expect microphone/webcam

and you have a pretty much golden pc afterwards... with no MS bullshit that baked into windows.

depends on which app. most of them are junk, but some are ok. if you have a high end computer from the last 4 years or mid range pc from the last 2 years, you should be fine without needing to do those things.
