How I Make Windows 11 Actually Usable (Debloat + Remove AI)

Windows 11 out of the box is a bloated, AI-filled piece of garbage. So I tore down and refreshed my Beelink mini PC, repasted it with PTM 7950, then did a full clean Windows 11 install and stripped it down to something actually usable. Fresh install with Rufus, a local account (no forced Microsoft login), debloating with Chris Titus's WinUtil and O&O ShutUp10, and ripping out Copilot, Recall, and every other "AI feature" with Zoicware's Remove Windows AI. If you just bought a new PC or laptop, do this first.
