"How did you redo the ISO for Windows 11? I have bypassed the whole Microsoft account and forced a local install for Windows 11 Home, but it was a pain, along with dealing with all the privacy crud. I would love to have a clean ISO, though."

First, I recommend you go directly to the MS Windows download web-page and install the latest ISO from there.

Windows 10
Windows 11


Then go through and read/follow instructions:
Chris Titus: Windows 10
or
Chris Titus:Windows 11


It is a PITA, but, if you really want it, it can be done.
Also, I would give you a copy of mine, but it is NEVER safe to accept an OS (or any app) from anyone else (you need it directly from the source (Microsoft, in this case)), and I cut a lot of stuff out that you may need.

Anyway, do this at your own risk.. (BTW, after you make the changes you want for the new ISO, it may take awhile for it to go through the whole process of redoing it, so be patient 😉)

Thank you for the link- I suffer from pretty bad ‘brain fog’ i think from chronic fatigue, and it is hard for me to concentrate for any length of time now- my brain gets exhausted quickly when i tax it like on things like this- but i will check that out and see if it will be too much for a tired mind- it probably will, huh?

Small correction from my last post to both of you;

"I recommend you go directly to the MS Windows download web-page and install the latest ISO from there."

should say:

"I recommend you go directly to the MS Windows download web-page and DOWNLOAD the latest ISO from there."

Apologies about that 😀


(I seriously need some sleep... That will come after the elections, I suppose)

In addition to the above, there is another utility that he made to assist with debloating windows (I think he includes tools in there that also help create a debloated install ISO).
I remember I had downloaded and ran his stuff from his GitHub (https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil .... he includes instructions if you scroll down).
Like I mentioned before, the whole process is tedious and time consuming.. but you do get better and more control of your computer, and close lots of security gabs and spy-crap.



My apologies on all of this extra and confusing info... going to bed now :^P
