Pirate a copy of windows 11 N. It’s the eu version that doesn’t have any of this dogshit in it.

Is there a "government" version or similar, where security is paramount? Like, how does MS sell windows 11 to the navy or whatever...?

Apparently, the navy is still using Windows XP on (some?) ships: https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2024/2/5/navy-looks-to-industry-to-digitize-ships

Then there's this old classic when a navy "smart" ship was adrift for 2 hours after a Windows NT crash: https://www.wired.com/1998/07/sunk-by-windows-nt/
