Here’s a guide on how to install Windows 11 without any bloatware apps.

Windows 11 is a massive improvement over the previous Windows versions. This is because, up to this version, users needed help. Some are at that level, showing severe concern for developers. This is the only reason developers have done so much testing to launch this particular Windows version. Nevertheless, at launch, Microsoft did not release their programs; including them, there were few partners.

There are paid partners who invested in Microsoft and worked with the term that after the release of their Windows, their app would be part of the Windows setup file package. A similar thing happened with Windows 11, where we saw plenty of bloatware apps (third-party apps). I agree that some apps are useful, but on the other hand, some are disgusting. So, let us understand how to install Windows 11 without any bloatware.

How to install Windows 11 without bloatware apps

Third-party or bloatware apps are the most frustrating thing for most users. However, what can we do as the partner’s agreement binds Windows? However, if those apps come under setup file installation and are installed on your PC, it does not mean you cannot remove them. The simplest way to reach out to such concerns is to uninstall bloatware apps you do not want. 

Nevertheless, uninstalling such apps can be frustrating, especially when we have paid for them. For that thing, numerous third-party apps can easily wipe out those bloatware apps that I am sure most of you already know about. Nevertheless, here, we came up with a different view or a way to install Windows 11 without bloatware. So, let us have a look at the below instructions.

• Firstly, insert a Windows 11 USB flash drive.
• Then start the PC and press any key to continue.
• Under Time and Currency Format, choose English (World).
• Now, click on Next >> Install now.
• After that, enter the product key or choose I do not have such a key (if doing a reinstallation).
• Then accept the terms and click Next.
• Now select the custom: Install Windows only (Advanced)
• Select the partition on the hard drive that you want to install.
• Now choose Drive 0 Unallocated Space and click Next.
• After that, follow the on-screen instructions for the usual setup.
• That is it, and Windows 11 will install without any third-party apps.

As you can see, the instructions to install Windows 11 are almost the same as usual. Nevertheless, here, the main tweak is that you selected the option in step 7, which makes a huge difference. Specifically, you can choose which partition you want to install here. Otherwise, the setup file will install all the partitions, including the bloatware. So, this was the simple trick to stop bloatware installation while booting up Windows 11. However, after step 9, we assume that those settings depend on the user, so prepare them as per your preference.
