Privacy & QoL focused Windows Install [+ Debloat]

Downloads:

[DE Windows Version]
[EN Windows Version]

Tutorial:

1.  
Plug in USB with Windows on it
created with Rufus or Creation Tool

2.  
Run DE or EN .exe


My recommendations after install:

C++ Packages + only GPU and LAN or WiFi driver
Only exception is if a specific device doesnt work, which is really rare. 

You want to keep your System as bloat-free as possible to avoid problems. 
The more you install = the more sources of errors exist. 
Also IRQ sharing, which is its own topic and would take too long to explain

 

I tested a regular Windows Install without my settings and with my settings. 
The results speak for themselves

Startup

Capture Start

Stop Capture 

Result

-89.7%
Telemetry/DNS Entries

-34.7% Processes

-48.6% RAM Usage



Why 4.2GB ram usage on your Install?

 Program used to create .exe = 7zip SFX

Manual Install

1.
just paste .xml on USB

[DE Windows Version]
[EN Windows Version]

Since this is entirely made with 7zip you can just open it as an archive and see all the contents. 
Open source even, some would say.
“script.ps1” makes sure the zip is properly extracted and then moved to your USB stick.
