For a number of years, hard-core W10 gamers would avoid W11 entirely, and insist on 1809 and 1903. They stuck to those builds, even when 19041-19045 was available. Gamers normally favor performance and stability, over new features.
Only because the major game publishers stopped supporting 1809 and 1903, did they eventually move to other releases like 19045.

Similarly in the past many would stick with Windows XP and avoid Vista or Windows 7 and avoid 8 and 10.

I am trying to find out if the earlier version is sleeker, faster and less restrictive. My experiment is not time consuming and will take less than half an hour.
Yes, I am aware that those undesirables can be removed with an Uninstaller. You also need to delete the orphaned entries in the registry.
I ‘ve read up extensively how to delete these leftover entries from the registry.
I don’t doubt that. Then my next target is version 1809.

AFAIK it isn't against the forum rules to be a member here if you don't have/use Windows 11.
I found a solution.
Nice. Back in the days when ships were wood and men were iron.

Thanks. I have downloaded both of them on your recommendation.
What cereberus said makes a lot of sense. 1507 being the first version will undoubtedly be buggy.
Anyway, I don't consider it a big deal. This is what a virtual box is meant for. Experimenting with various OS and earlier versions of Windows, even Windows XP.

Doing a test installation of version 1903 on my virtual box right now.
But whenever I post, I am 100% doing it on my iPad.
Success.
Now I am going to do it in earnest on Oct 16.

Good idea! Abandon LAN and WiFi. Go back to 56K dialup modem! With such slow connection no ads will be able to load and no hacker will have enough patience to breach your security! You can even use an old browser such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 Gold (grandpa of Firefox).

Here is another look at version 1903 recommended by garlin.
The Edge Legacy icon on the taskbar doesn’t mean the browser has been installed.
To install it, you need to first go online and click the Edge icon. This will run the Edge installer to install the browser.
So what I would like to do is not install it. With its demise, bing and copilot would not see the light of day.
I will know on Oct 16 when I install it on my pc whether it is preferable to the Win 10 Pro I am using today.
I am not choosing Oct 15 because on that day it is still Oct 14 in the US.

My attempt to create a sleeker, smoother and faster OS with version 1903 was a total failure!
Even when I installed Firefox as my default browser.
After much tinkering, as soon as I searched for something in the search box online, bing sprang into action and copilot reared its ugly head.
Sigh!

Why don't you just install regular Windows 11 and then disable or uninstall features you don't want to make it lighter? Revo Uninstaller can uninstall many Windows apps.

I am not done with my project yet. As cereberus has so rightly pointed out the old versions of Windows 10 are buggy, I have given up on version 1903. Instead I went for version 19044.1288.
This is the 2019 version with 21H2.
All the signs have so far indicated a cleaner, sleeker and faster OS. I am still testing it and will continue to do so for one more week before making a more detailed post.
I am inspired by LitePC when embarking on this project.
Watch this spot!

From my own experience I have encountered some very old computers that would not install Windows 10 v1903 or higher directly, but you could install and older version and then upgrade to the newer version. I guess this is because v1903 and newer versions do not include drivers for these very old systems causing incompatibilities. When installing an older version the drivers are also included and so they are no incompatibilities when trying to upgrade to a newer version. I guess something similar might be between Windows 11 21H2 and newer versions. Just install 21H2 or 22H2 and then upgrade to 24H2 or 25H2, assuming the CPU supports SSE4.2.
PS: This is not new "bug". Back in the 90's some very old systems could not accept Windows 98 directly, but you could install Windows 95 and then upgrade to 98 or even XP. Same reason, lack of drivers. That's why I recommend to upgrade all drivers and install all Windows updates first before upgrading to a newer Windows version.
