Hello! I'm about to set up Windows 10 and am a beginner with this system. I'm curious if anyone knows how to locate a list of unnecessary, redundant, bloatware, or telemetry services and apps that I can disable using PowerShell, the registry, or directly in the Services list. With Windows 7, I believe I have no more than 27 or 29 processes (Task Manager), but on my sister's computer running Windows 10, it might be twice or more. I'm still exploring, but I'd really appreciate any guidance. Please don't be rude—I just want to avoid unnecessary advice like "oh but why? Don't touch that, get more RAM...". There are plenty of such discussions already on Reddit, thank you in advance!

Consider Windows 10 LTS ISO instead of dealing with frequent updates. You can opt for an enterprise version that’s already pre-installed. Avoid the activation hassle by skipping the standard setup. Alternatively, you can find a debloat script on GitHub to remove unnecessary features, or use Wineweaver to customize Windows 10 further and fix some issues.
