Hey y'all

I'm taking a college course which is hell bent that its students use Windows 11. Currently my laptop is still using Windows 10 and if there is no bloatware/AI free way to install Windows 11, I'm just going to bite the bullet and install it the regular way. So if anyone knows of a relatively bloatware free way of installing Windows 11, please let me know.

p.s. For those who would encourage me to use Linux. For my desktop I already use Linux Mint.

If you're just trying to get work done and not trying to stick it to the man with the purity test that this thread seems to insist upon

School for my healthcare career had several "virtual clinical experiences that were graded and required windows. They did help us memorize the basics a little before touching a real patient but they were probably also spyware in the grading functionality. In the end though I didn't have a choice. Some of us just don't, especially those of us picking careers in public safety. I'm just grateful they provided the iPads for when we used the charting software that required iOS.
