The most reliable way to get a "lean" Windows experience is by using open-source scripts to modify official Microsoft ISO files rather than downloading pre-made, potentially unsafe images from the web.
Do not strip Windows Defender or Windows Update if you use the PC for banking, work, or browsing untrusted sites. Stick to debloat scripts + service disabling for 95% of the benefit without the risk.
If system breaks: Boot USB → System Restore → or reinstall using same ISO + keep user data.
Run Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process to allow the script to execute [15, 26].
: Bypasses the forced Microsoft Account (MSA) requirement during setup, allowing for a local account [18, 24].
