This is all very cute, but those Windows items don't apply to me.
- I've never paid for Windows, not even preinstalled on a machine.
- It's set so updates are not forced, but I update anyway because it hasn't caused me an issue since... ? I can't remember. A decade or more?
- Rooted out the telemetry and/or blocked it. I accomplished this faster than setting up any given Linux desktop I've used.
- This Windows install has ridden the same SSD across 3 or 4 machines for 8 years or more. Not sure I've ever had a BSOD on this install, and you won't either if your hardware isn't soft damaged.
