Please do not trust modified windows installs based on old (22H2) update packs, you’re much better off debloating your fresh, up-to-date, already licensed install using some powershell wizardry…
Chris Titus has made a gui for this that you can access with a single powershell command. He also has made a guide on which settings he recommends to debloat a fresh install.
This way you aren’t entrusting your OS, privacy and data to some random unsecure repack. I can find the link for you if you would like :)
Apologies for not having seen this until now, if you are still wondering and haven’t found the tool yourself, you can launch it by opening a windows terminal as admin and typing

as soon as chocolatey is installed a gui will launch allowing you to easily install common software, uninstall bloat, apply tweaks (such as disabling telemetry), and control windows updates.
It’s a great one stop shop for setting up any fresh/existing windows install, and is continuously updated with reliable and transparent documentation.
It’s the same problem that all the prepackaged modified Windows have when I go to try them out in a VM. They always seems to be way out of date and with all the security problems of Windows, I don’t want to run an old version just to save the time of cleaning out the telemetry and bloatware. Powershell scripts are more robust for me.
ReviOS for the Windows user. It’s not a OS, but a collection of scripts which convert Windows in what it should have been.
Just use NTLite yourself
Thank you internet stranger, I’m getting a new computer soon and I will be trying this!
Is it smart enough to pull the activation code from the BIOS if I buy a computer that has that?
