    In my opinion, Enterprise versions, are not more bloated at all, but do have a few actual features that regular versions do not have, like gpedit, bitlock (someone correct me if wrong, I may be confusing old info from Windows 7 a bit with 10)? Then the LTS* versions of Enterprise have less of what I would call bloat, like most of the apps, cortana, onedrive, candy crush, try office, etc. and the ability to set "data reporting" to "security" (off/lowest) instead of just slightly lower. In short you get all the desired tools/features plus a longer supported lifespan, and less of the spyware and crapware. The nearly empty start menu after clean install is glorious.

    I still hate it compared to Windows 7, but it's as close as we can get this side of Linux while remaining current and "modern".

    In my opinion, the 2019 version should get lower resource usage than 2021.
    I was using Windows 10 20H2 with Asus T100TA (32-bit), and it was very heavy loading for the netbook.
    But the version 1607 to 1809 worked fine.

    Ah, thanks for that. And all the others advice. As mentioned above, I am new to Windows 10 and amongst all the ASM blubber it steps through I have since learnt that it has a built in keylogger, I mean, is that correct, or are these nowt but nefarious rumours?
