For some reason I don't ever see people recommending the MSMG Toolkit[0]. With it, you can take a regular Win10 Home or Pro .iso, and completely gut it. Like, completely gut it. It'll stop automatic Windows updates (you can still choose to do them yourself), you can remove all default metro apps, you can completely remove the Windows Store from ever being on your system. Seriously, this thing is an absolute godsend it my opinion. Combine with the Windows 10 Privacy Guide[1] to pick up any slack that it misses. 0: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/msmg_toolkit.html 1: https://github.com/adolfintel/Windows10-Privacy

Pretty odd comment, considering Windows 10 does a lot of tracking and ads. > Windows 10 Collects Activity Data Even When Tracking Is Disabled, But You Can Block It https://lifehacker.com/windows-10-collects-activity-data-eve... > We also display advertising in some services, and we’d prefer to show you ads you find interesting. https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/windows10privacy And the numerous steps you have to take to improve your privacy: https://github.com/adolfintel/Windows10-Privacy
