    entire home tab is just ad space and can be disabled
    or just upgrade to enterprise, comes with no ms 365 ads and the home tab is disabled out of the box.
    you’ll get literally zero ads or bs like onedrive in built-in apps, and even anti features like ms account login can be disabled (os will just skip right to local account creation)

      if you’re in the know, check out vlmcsd on github and “test” windows enterprise with KMS. It can run on everything from a pi, to docker, to openwrt. If you’re really gangster, you can set up SRV records and get auto activation on your lan
