Recently bought a Win 11 laptop (past two months), and to any average consumer it was impossible to not connect it to the internet when you first boot it.

It took me, a fairly savvy user, a couple of tries to figure out what was required, which is pressing Shift + F10, opening a terminal, entering a command, hoping for the best. That didn’t work, so I then needed to do the same process a second time and run a second command to open regedit and amend a registry value from 1 to 0. My father wouldn’t have known where to start.

Anyway, the moment it was all installed and hooked up to the internet to update the ads appeared so I downloaded TronScript and gave that a run to remove all the bloatware and ads.

Edit: Also EU.
