Trim Windows 11: three quick steps to shed bloatware

The article lays out three easy ways to debloat Windows 11 for a faster PC: use Windows Setup and Group Policy to remove default apps for new accounts; run FlyOOBE (a GitHub debloating tool) and select a profile (Balanced, Full Microsoft Experience, Minimal Windows, or Community) to uninstall chosen apps; and read FAQs noting that core apps aren’t removed, FlyOOBE can affect updates, and changes can often be undone by reinstalling removed apps, with a backup recommended before proceeding.

Microsoft shames unsupported Windows 11 PCs and latest update causes SSD performance issues.

Microsoft is using a watermark on desktops that says "System requirements not met" to encourage users to upgrade their hardware to support Windows 11. However, the constant reminder can be annoying and insulting. Microsoft has released an official way to remove the watermark by modifying Group Policies. This move is odd and passive-aggressive, as Microsoft doesn't have plans to block Windows 11 updates on unsupported devices.
