ReviOS for the Windows user. It's not a OS, but a collection of scripts which convert Windows in what it should have been.
Just use NTLite yourself
Thank you internet stranger, I'm getting a new computer soon and I will be trying this!
Is it smart enough to pull the activation code from the BIOS if I buy a computer that has that?
Please do not trust modified windows installs based on old (22H2) update packs, you're much better off debloating your fresh, up-to-date, already licensed install using some powershell wizardry...
Chris Titus has made a gui for this that you can access with a single powershell command. He also has made a guide on which settings he recommends to debloat a fresh install.
This way you aren't entrusting your OS, privacy and data to some random unsecure repack. I can find the link for you if you would like :)
Yeah, that occured to me. thank you.good looking out, friend. I accept your offer!
Apologies for not having seen this until now, if you are still wondering and haven't found the tool yourself, you can launch it by opening a windows terminal as admin and typing
as soon as chocolatey is installed a gui will launch allowing you to easily install common software, uninstall bloat, apply tweaks (such as disabling telemetry), and control windows updates. It's a great one stop shop for setting up any fresh/existing windows install, and is continuously updated with reliable and transparent documentation.
If you would prefer a video about the tool, the latest one is here: https://youtu.be/GQBRrVGgB_Q
Thank you kind internet stranger! ❤️
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Works with 11 22H2. That's a year out of date.
It's the same problem that all the prepackaged modified Windows have when I go to try them out in a VM. They always seems to be way out of date and with all the security problems of Windows, I don't want to run an old version just to save the time of cleaning out the telemetry and bloatware. Powershell scripts are more robust for me.
