So I installed Windows 11 Pro

Found that I needed to buy a new key or Subscribe to a new key - no, I got hold of them (Microsoft) to active my windows 11 on my new mother board. These are my new specs.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC mATX
RAM: ADATA XPG Gammix D35 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3200MHz
Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
GPU: PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
Case: Cooler Master Elite 302 Tempered Glass Mini Tower
CPU Cooler: DeepCool AK400 Black
PSU: DeepCool PQ750G 750W 80+ Gold Modular
Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G3 27"

I don't want to subscribe to any bs or download anything so I enabled god mode by doing the following -

Enabling God Mode
This creates a special folder that acts as a master control panel with links to hundreds of Windows settings.

Right-click on your desktop (or in any File Explorer window) and select New > Folder.
Rename the new folder to exactly this (copy-paste it):
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
(Use curly braces {} around the GUID; the message's parentheses won't activate it.)
Press Enter. The folder icon will change to a Control Panel-like icon.
Double-click it to open. You can now search or browse for settings like display options, network configs, or admin tools.

This works on Windows 10 and 11. It's harmless and built-in—no downloads needed.

Change you setting to your liking, and time to remove the Boalt =)

Running the App Removal Command
The command Get-AppXPackage -allusers | Remove-AppXPackage lists all installed Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps across all user accounts and removes them. This includes things like Microsoft Edge, Photos, Calculator, and third-party preinstalls (e.g., Candy Crush). It won't touch traditional desktop programs.
To use it:

Search for "PowerShell" in the Start menu.
Right-click Windows PowerShell (or Windows Terminal if available) and select Run as administrator. (You need admin rights, or it will fail.)
In the PowerShell window, paste the command:
Get-AppXPackage -allusers | Remove-AppXPackage
Press Enter. It will process and remove apps without prompts—expect errors for system-protected ones (that's normal).
Restart your computer afterward.


Tips: If you want to target specific apps instead of everything, modify it (e.g., Get-AppXPackage *CandyCrush* -allusers | Remove-AppXPackage to remove just Candy Crush).
Undo: If it breaks things, you can reinstall apps via the Microsoft Store or use Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppXProvisionedPackage -online in PowerShell (similar process) to reset provisioned packages, but a system restore point or reset is often easier.
Context: This is commonly shared in tech forums for slimming down Windows installs, but it's not official Microsoft advice.

Install you own software:
Video Driver - Latest Nvidia Drivers.
Update your system with windows updates.
Check your Device Manager for anything not installed.
Restart your system.

Opera - Internet Explorer.
Steam - Game Library.
Discord - Voice Comms.

You should have a pretty clean windows system with no bloatware =)
