Preparing Windows 11 for the end of Windows 10?
Windows 10 is going end of life this year. So I was wondering if we’ve settled on a standard method for cleaning up Windows 11.
I’ve heard lots of horror stories about ads in the start menu, telemetry, search history scraping, and worst of all undoing and removing methods of blocking the garbage.
Has the brave souls who’ve ventured into Windows 11 discovered the top 10 tips and tricks to making it not garbage?

You're right—Windows 11 has introduced a range of features and design choices that many users find intrusive or unnecessary, such as ads in the Start menu, telemetry data collection, and restrictions on customization. While Microsoft continues to refine the OS, there are well-established methods to customize and clean up Windows 11 to improve privacy, performance, and user experience.
