I rather suggest Win 11 LTSC. The Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC supposedly:
- doesn't have the tpm requirement
- no copilot, recall, edge browser, ms store
- allows local setup
- no feature updates, only security
- built-in options to disable telemetry
Keys go for $300 in some stores, or, one can use an activation emulator, or massgrave.
Scripts can be good for one-time use, but it's swimming against the current. As soon as you stop swimming, the current wins. With the LTSC, you don't swim against the current, but rather choose a different current. In its case, it's MS themselves who provide the debloating.
Personally I gave up a long time ago and just installed Debian Linux. But it’s wild to me that the average non-technical/casual windows user has to put up with so much bs… it’s an atrocious ux

Where can one buy a key? I got denied when I tried buying one because I was not a company.
Anyone can be a company if you try hard enough!
why not windows 10 LTSC? higher performance

I tried all of these debloating scripts a couple of years back but nowadays I just stick with LTSC
