    Hello,

    i have 2 PC (one mine, one from a friend) which should get a fresh install of Windows 10 in the next days.
    The last days i've red a lot about Windows 10 LTSC, optimizations, Scripts (Sophia) and modifying the iso (Slimdown10).
    What i've always used in the past is O&O ShutUp10 to reduce telemetry stuff, and uninstalled al unnecessary Windows App with Geek uninstaller (geekuninstaller.com).

    Now ive red in several boards that Windows 10 LTSC generally ha s a lower memory footprint than a vanilla Windows.
    So my question is how can i achieve the same footprint on a fresh installed vanilla Windows 10, without any modifications before?
    So i don’t want to modify the iso with Scripts like Slimdown10, although i know it is good work and everything should work fine.

    So what are the essential (safe) steps that need to be done after install to get rid of all the bloatware and lower the memory footprint as much as possible? so maybe the same footprint that a Windows 10 LTSC has?

    Is there anything more than O&O ShutUp10, uninstalling preinstalled apps and prevent Edge from autorun?

    Maybe i should give the Sophia script a try?

    I know that this question has been asked before, but maybe there is still a guide for achieving that result.

    thx in advance

    my script does a lot of stuff, maybe you find it useful
    it's not intended to kill your windows like other scripts
    `let's remove all the service/tasks & slim OS to bare bones `
    it is for normal use ... remove most of the UWP bloat apps
    some registry tweaks, stop some bloat services like Defender, windows update, etc
    some new special menus like Trusted install, Powershell, and cmd from here & Image service
    also added lately some privacy tweaks ... which is very good.
    and most importantly, you can update the os when you want ...
    [until you press on check for updates, no updates check will done]
