    Would this work after you’ve already setup Windows?

      From what I’ve seen online, it must be done during installation. So short answer, no.

      As others have said, you could also backup your data and do a fresh installation (from a boot media, not from Windows itself just to be extra safe).

      ThioJoe also has a video talking about this English (Europe/World) thing and also provide a Powershell script to delete Windows bloatware. This option could be interesting if you don’t want to reset your whole installation.

      Throw all your important stuff onto a drive thay doesn’t contain the OS. Then remove the drive and wipe the computer. You can set it up again and choose the non-bloatware options.

      I doubt it. Don’t know if a fresh install would, or if you can get it fresh enough to work.
