Some laptop, nettop, and mini PC manufacturers provide clean system images with pre-built drivers on their websites.

This is understandable, especially since, for example, it is not entirely clear to me how to restore an image together with installed applications (for example, from the Microsoft Store) if they are no longer available in the Microsoft Store?

Got it, the only question is, why can't Windows itself do this "at a high level"?

I need to think about it :headache:.

As far as I know, rolling back to a restore point is not always possible. What are the limitations for it (LTSC) if you use an unactivated version?

I know that. However, for example, the GitHub repository is full of “experimental” optimizers, some of which, according to the Internet community, are quite acceptable.

Can you provide links to the relevant builds/optimizers (I mean lightweight versions of Windows)? I don't have that information at the moment.

I don't quite understand what you mean, because I don't remember any such references in my posts.

Thanks for the helpful information (I might come back here again)!

There is no urgent need for this yet.

Well, actually, I thought all this is clear from my profile...

This is probably the most difficult part of this story, but I haven't encountered it in practice, especially since I have an antivirus and periodically run a full scan. But if it is possible, then you will have to reinstall the firmware (BIOS/UEFI) and then set a password for it :rolleyes:.

Apparently, yes, that's what I want. Windows 11 Pro 25H2 OEM PC/laptop. No, I only have the standard three partitions (system, basic, recovery).

Hello, everyone! I am interested in the following: what is the difference between clean reinstallation of Windows from a flash drive (with full formatting of all partitions) and Recovery option, for example, from the cloud with the deletion of all data (“Factory reset”)? There's information...

Okay, just don't be offended. No, thanks, nothing needs to be done for now.
