Whatever you do, don’t install Windows Store. It creates a hidden account tied to your hardware that remembers your entire App history even after reinstalling Windows. There’s a thread on this:

> Cannot find much information about this on the internet, but I reinstalled Windows 11 today and Microsoft Store had a list of all apps I had previously installed on this computer. It’s honestly really creepy. I don’t even have a Microsoft account. How did they do this? The only things in common with my previous and current install are the hardware and the activation key. Are they really using hardware fingerprinting or your Windows serial key to track you?
