Adjust the clean version for additional computers.
I just set up W11 for the first time and it works great. I cleared all the MS stuff, reset the settings to my preference, and it launches quickly—just a few seconds. It wasn’t too much effort since it was my first installation. I installed all the essential programs needed for movies, Chrome, and the monitor. Now I need to do a couple of things: add a second account for my wife so she gets the same clean desktop without default settings. I’m not sure if the removed software will stay gone or if any settings will reset like on a fresh install. I want her account to start exactly like mine, even with three more PCs coming soon. I’m thinking about making an image and installing it, but I’m worried about different drivers. I can remove the wrong ones and install the right ones myself, but I’d rather skip the whole setup process. What’s the best way to do this?

It's really helpful! This tool and the tutorial are excellent, making it easy even for beginners. From the ISO setup, I generated a flash drive using Rufus and installed it on an older i3. So far, the device doesn't complain about TPM or its absence, though I'm not fully sure the tool removed every option. For instance, I tried to delete certain folders like "pictures," but they still appeared. Perhaps I made a mistake, but it seems to have cleared many things like EULA and language settings. There are still some apps left to remove, but it brings me a lot closer to the goal.
I was considering upgrading to Windows 11. It might be the most suitable option.
FYI, the PC I set up has an i3-3220 with 16GB RAM. I mainly use it in the living room for watching YouTube in HD (HDMI 4K isn't supported). While streaming YouTube, it consumes less than 3GB and uses about 25% CPU. CPU usage spikes to 100% during updates, though. For my needs, it runs smoothly with Windows 11. By the way, this machine isn't really suitable for heavy tasks on Windows 10 either. I'm happy with the performance and appearance of Windows 11. I've gotten used to icons being centered in the taskbar, but I get frustrated when using Windows 10. Windows 11 displays a partition requirement of at least 56GB, which I didn't realize I had. It still installed even with only 30GB, but I ended up having to expand it later. I think it's best to use a bigger partition for better compatibility.
