To help anyone dealing with Ms crap -

get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat. (Or Win11 LTSC if that's what you want).

Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.

And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts.

Scripts on Gituub.

There are some tools to ensure Recall is fully un-installed and blocked. Group Policy will definitely prevent it from ever running, and LTSC is a Pro version, so Group Policy functions properly.

Keyboard drivers need some work though

Do you have examples of issues? The only hardware incompatibilities I've ever experienced were with my VR headset.
