For those that can not switch to Linux
and can not afford to toss perfectly
good hardware.

Fire it up in a VM.  It will blow you away.
M$ really screwed up W11 with all the
spying and bloat.

No Edge or any other browser.
No One Drive.
No spyware account.
No idiot hardware requirements
etc..

To load a browser:
     curl.exe -L 
"https://referrals.brave.com/latest/BraveBrowserSetup-BRV030.exe" 
--output "BraveBrowserSetup-BRV030.exe"
