Windows 10: Is there a stripped down version of windows 10 for VM use?

Title is pretty self explanatory. I want to be able to run a windows 10 VM without all the bloat that usually comes with windows that would slow it down especially for a vm.

As an example, I'd like to be able to remove windows defender as it runs in the background dramatically slowing the vm down.

Anyone know of a way to remove literally all the bloat?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
