Good, given that the PC (hardware) that I have for personal use is limited in power, I see that as the editions of windows expand functions and weight in software, over time the performance of the PC decreases, and of course I rule out spending money for better hardware. My dilemma is whether to stop updating, or take the older editions for example windows 10 build 1511, or even switch to windows 8.1 that I never used, or even some server version. For me it is more important to maintain privacy as much as possible by reducing telemetry. although the further back the security and anti-telemetry are more obsolete. Using the valuable contributions they make in this forum and others. I would like to know your opinions and advice. Thank you.
What are your PC specs (hardware)? It will make it easier for members to advice you on what OS will work for you Not updating your OS will put your security at risk
It is what I have now, but when I do operations with a session started with virtualbox, it is very noticeable that it is going to the limit. Surely with a little more ram it would improve. Thank you.
Although I think I came across some posts (thread?) where some members were having OS compatibility problems with 10th gen or 11th gen cpus My laptop has lower specs than yours but with 8Gig ram and can run Windows 11 Spoiler
Cant reproduce the problem right now coz i'm already in bed on my phone past midnight. This might be the problem. Remove "CloudExperienceHost" from this part of the script Code: rem == prevent SystemApps from getting deployed == CloudExperienceHost
Here is what i have in my script file, i will delete "CloudExperienceHost" and redo whole thing, this time using msmg toolkit. hope it help. Spoiler Code: rem == prevent SystemApps from getting deployed == set key=HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\InboxApplications for %%i in ( MicrosoftEdge MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient AppRep.ChxApp CloudExperienceHost SecHealthUI ) do ( for /f %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /f %%i /k ^| find /i "InboxApplications"') do if not errorlevel 1 (reg delete %%a /f) ) EDIT: It's working, thanks for help.
