If you can't use the entire disk, try using multiple partitions.

Simple Software-Restriction Policy should also be included on the list. Personally, I would not use Windows XP without it.

Here's something interesting that I stumbled upon yesterday: tiny11builder https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder Hands-On: Tiny11 Builder https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-11/301235/hands-on-tiny11-builder I am definitely going to make use of this, and I am very thankful that someone created it and made it available for free.

In case anyone is interested, this firewall is now free. Sphinx Software https://sphinx-soft.com/ Windows 11 Firewall Control https://github.com/Windows11FirewallControl/Windows11FirewallControl Downloads https://github.com/Windows11FirewallControl/Windows11FirewallControl/tree/main/precompiled

They have. There's an "ancient" one called xoblite. It's kind of like using fluxbox on Windows instead of Linux. Check out the screenshots and you'll see what I mean. xoblite™ / Blackbox for Windows

Since I was planning to make the switch to Windows 11 in the near future, I was really hoping that Microsoft would give me some good reasons to like Windows 11. Unfortunately, instead they have given me a very good reason to hate Windows 11. For a good understanding of what I am referring to, I recommend watching this video: CoPilot+ PCs, Windows Recall, Keylogging Privacy Invasions! Here's a short description from the above web page: "Microsoft made some recent changes to Windows 11 which abuses privacy in multiple ways. But remember that Microsoft is not alone. The move to break our privacy with AI is something the competition started with first. Now they're playing catch up but doing so in the most aggressive way with the help of OpenAI."

I used Onepiece's Windows 2000 postSP4 Update Pack and integrated it using the RyanVM Integrator. I could have used nLite, but I had never used the RyanVM Integrator before and was curious to see how it compared with nLite. For more information, see: Onepiece Win2k postSP4 UpdatePack v5.0.3 FINAL Only one download link for that update pack still works, which is this one: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5EBubruZ8REZThfN2ZsTktMQ0U

Can't you just uninstall Lenovo Vantage and then reinstall Lenovo Settings? It appears that Lenovo Settings is still available here: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9WZDNCRFJ12P If that doesn't work for some reason, you may be able to get Lenovo Settings back by performing a factory reset. That's a somewhat extreme measure, but if you want the Lenovo Settings app back badly enough, then you may want to consider it. How to Factory Reset a Lenovo Laptop

Do you mean something like this?

I recently remembered this software and wondered if it's still being developed, and I was happy to see that it is. Anyway, I thought I'd make a post about xoblite since it looks like nobody on here has been talking about it since 2009. Website: http://xoblite.net/docs/

I haven't tried AtlasOS, but based on reading their installation instructions, it appears that what they are offering is a utility for removing certain "features" from Windows 10 during installation. If my interpretation is correct, this is similar to the process that Windows 10 Decrapifier uses.

AtlasOS is a stripped down version of Windows 10. I just learned about this project and thought that some of the other members here might be interested in it.

Thanks for the info and suggestions. It does appear that what I would like to do is impossible, or at least nearly so. In case anyone else is looking for similar information, I did find some software that is supposed to be able to facilitate the transfer of software: Transferring Installed Programs from One Computer to Another Windows 11/10 - Here Is the Best Way https://www.easeus.com/pc-transfer/copy-installed-software.html Best EaseUS Todo PCTrans Alternatives https://alternativeto.net/software/easeus-todo-pctrans/ Unfortunately, these types of utilities are not universal -- they will only work for some software. And MS Office 2013 is not one of them.

I can't see myself using this (because I prefer Xfce), but maybe someone here would be interested in trying this. Ready to ditch Windows for Linux?
