    What tool do you recommend for stripping down Windows 10?


    Windows 10 is a decent OS at its core. But it comes bundled with so much shit that my first impression is that it is a piece of shit. I've removed most of that shit via PowerShell and dism. But, I'm wondering, is there a recommended GUI tool for removing the shit. Ideally I'd like a tool which presents a list, allows me to choose what to remove, and allows me to reinstall things I've removed. I want something which makes it simpler the next time I install Windows 10.

    (I'm talking about shit like the X-Box stuff, default photo, music and video apps, games, Office stuff and more.)

    Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

    All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

    As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

    im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

    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
