Best Windows version to use for Privacy?

Privacy Questions
1

So I just need to run Windows in a vm with some decent privacy. I just need to run an exe and use a web browser like LibreWolf so my usecase is minimal.

I saw someone on Reddit link this page for Windows’ ISOs is it safe?

(I ask because as I use Mullvad Microsoft blocks my requests to download ISOs directly from their website)

So in summary, what version of windows is best and why, after that what scripts should I run to remove some telemetry? I heard privacy.sexy is good.

Thanks in advance

Take a look at Windows LTSC.

You can basically disable most if not all telementry when you use LTSC. Just make sure you are happy with LTSC’s features.

In this case, I would pause the VPN and download the ISO from MS, rather than downloading it from non-official sites.

Telemetry options are the same as Enterprise but it does come without preinstalled bloat

Does it not work on Wine/Proton?

If this is a home PC, try to have Steam use the “Add a non-Steam game to Library” function and have Steam do the heavy lifting of compatibility for you.
