I can’t believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here’s a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It’s understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

          Yes, if I need to install Windows I always pick the N version. Just make sure to install the Media Feature Pack from the “optional features” area in the Settings app, otherwise some apps like Spotify might not work correctly. It took me days to figure this out, I was incredibly frustrated (that’s often the case with Windows lol, that’s why I switched to Linux).

      I live in North America, I happen to have bought a Windows 10 license from Microsoft’s website.

      If I install the “N” version of Windows 10, my license key doesn’t work.

      That being said, give it a try, if it works, great, if not, just install the non-N version and debloat.

      GL everyone.
