Are there laws in England that prevent bloatware?? That sounds like an EU thing, not an English thing. I would think the England install might be even more bloated than the US one.
Sorry about my shitty wording, none of the thr basic stuff is installed, its basically a version of windows that assumes you are going to install your own version of most basic apps. Basically a media player, (both video and music), voice recording, skype and such are NOT installed.
If youre on a device that needs no major feature updates except security ones, thats ehat the LTSB build is for. Getting one legally is difficult, however…
Yeah, I got that. That would have been perfect for my garage computer. A low spec machine that would just be hooked up to my CNC. I don’t need voice recording, media player and stuff like that. Bare bones would be perfect for that machine both in SSD space saved and (I assume) aslightly faster since the hardware is a few years old now.
We have English (United Kingdom) as a localised install.
Not any more bloated then English (US) but if this English (World) install is even cleaner as Andi says, I’ll start using that instead for fresh installs.

Europe has “N” versions of windows that do not have media codecs, and a few basic applications installed (e.g basic video player)
Wish I knew about this a month ago when I installed Windows on an older machine that definitely doesn’t need anything but basic stuff.

Nice Tip.
