Learn the proper steps for installing Windows correctly.
The issue with directing users straight to app suppliers is that many installers now appear confusing, especially during setup. Ninite simplifies this process, which is why I highlighted such a service. The typical user tends to just click Yes/Accept/Continue, ending up with unwanted bloatware—such as uTorrents’ new Bitminer install or system scanners that flash large boxes promising full protection for just $29.99. The article title, "How to install Windows the Right Way," is clear only if you're targeting beginners. There are several valid approaches without needing extra third-party tools, and avoiding the unnecessary software that often comes with installers. Ninite is regularly updated, and many modern programs offer their own update systems, ensuring smooth operation. I’m not suggesting installing software via Slipstreaming; instead, I mean basic updates and drivers that work seamlessly. I wouldn’t create an SOE image unless you have multiple identical setups and specific needs—like for professional use. If you prefer a backup image after installation, it’s better to do that rather than relying on a slippery install. The link I shared provided a straightforward method for creating a simple Slipstream, which is more suited for advanced users beyond the original discussion.
Look on TechNet, there is a official RIGHT WAY to install Windows. I know you wasn't refereeing to slipstreaming, there was another user that was suggesting slipstreaming. Also, the user has the right to check whatever they want. If they want to take the easy way out and continue, accept, install, next without reading what they are getting then more power to them. This isn't a "How to install Windows with crazy additions" guide. And as far as "as there are a number of ways that are the right way without installing additional 3rd party tools like the USB/DVD creator, and avoiding all the bloatware that comes with many of the installers, that make installation very simple. " the Microsoft Windows USB/DVD Creator Tool is a FIRST party piece of software as it is MADE by the same party that makes Windows (and is also how they suggest doing it). And as for making stuff "easier", if you have a easier way of taking a ISO image and putting it on a USB drive and making the USB drive bootable, Im all ears.
