It will require some time to adjust all the options in the Settings panel, Config, clearing tiles from the beginning, and tidying up the task bar. This is possible. Be sure to save a screenshot once you’ve completed your efforts.
They mentioned both options of disabling services or using a lighter version like Windows 10 Lite Edition. It’s an unofficial build that removes most features, though I’m not sure if it’s for light use or gaming. There’s also the chance you might want to enable certain services.

It seems you're looking for Windows 10 LTSC. It avoids unnecessary software, receives only security patches, limits data collection, and excludes UWP features like Cortana and the Microsoft Store. You can purchase it for $13 USD on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Windows-10-Ente...2716568185 With the 2019 update, it's been renamed to LTSC.
Only 13 dollars? That's a solid offer (for the gray zone)! I'm planning to purchase it soon since Windows 7 is nearing the end of its life. Got it.
I've been looking into this while working. Are there any details about how it might affect gaming performance? I'm checking for missing files or updates that could improve smooth operation and reduce resource usage.
Windows 10 LTSC is popular among gamers, and I haven’t noticed any missing features that would hurt performance. From a software standpoint, it mainly includes UWP support and some UWP apps that aren’t part of the base version. While certain UWP programs can be added if needed, there’s a lighter alternative: https://github.com/kkkgo/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore. Without the extra bloat, ads, or data-collecting services, LTSC runs more efficiently than the full Windows 10 editions (Home, Pro) and even the Enterprise version. Therefore, it should offer solid performance without unnecessary overhead.
