Is there a way to install Windows 11, somewhat bloatware/AI free? (It's for college.) (lemmy.world)

Hey y'all

I'm taking a college course which is hell bent that its students use Windows 11. Currently my laptop is still using Windows 10 and if there is no bloatware/AI free way to install Windows 11, I'm just going to bite the bullet and install it the regular way. So if anyone knows of a relatively bloatware free way of installing Windows 11, please let me know.

p.s. For those who would encourage me to use Linux. For my desktop I already use Linux Mint.

its not really an UEFI issue but a windows one. unlike BIOS systems, UEFI was made capable to handle this, yet windows fucks it up.

it also depends on your configuration. on an ESP partition there's a default bootloader, and per-os bootloaders in directories. if you rely on using the default bootloader, windows will overwrite that from time to time, but it can fuck up the per-os bootloader setup too if it fucks with the list that the efibootmgr command manages on linux. I don't know whether it does the latter
