I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.

    my laptop probably has very similar specs to your laptop. also, windows just uses more computing resources than linux in general.

    i dont care about if its few seconds faster at booting or has few percents more resources availabe after hours of configuring.

    all i need for my apprenticeship is just a windows laptop to work with office365 and a few specific apps, which dont need full resources. but it has to be windows because of domain policy from ADDS.

    my apprentice will end in a few weeks and since i wont need these apps anymore tomorrow in a week, ill delete the windows partitions from my laptop.

    id appreciate you helping me and others with articles how to get a bit faster windows system, if id asked for it, but i didnt.

      Again, I’m not saying Windows is good.

      I’m saying your statement was an over exaggeration and yes Windows by default has too much crap but it can be disabled as documented.

      Simply that.
