what should i NOT remove to have SP1 working?

there is a topic somwhere in this forum that details these things.From my own experience i can say:

Welcome Center

Security Center

Display Drivers

Audio Drivers..are safe to remove.

WinSAT(performance index)...removing this will result in SP1 install failiure.

Keep all components. Yup simple as that. And logical because SP expects a full OS and updates blindly, if some part is not found it aborts.

alright thanks. i remember that post n all, but thought maybe there were a few things i could still remove

while i love having components removed and certain settings taken care of, theres always something that keeps pulling me back to retail disk.

i loved my last install i did just a few days ago,very stripped down but noticed OS was a bit laggy for some reason, even with prefetch still on

then installed vlilte to redo some things and WM imager thing wasnt working properly and caused a BSOD when i opened vlite and imported the OS copy...odd, likely i removed too much causing problems. plus the idea of not being able to use SP1 when it comes out is a bummer

why do you curse me MS?
