Does anyone know if the EU protects against this? I am in Europe (well Switzerland, so technically not EU, but GDPR etc. nonetheless) and using windows 11 as my daily driver on two machines (one with beta) I have never seen ads.
EDIT: except for the 'finish setting up' stuff after bigger updates, those I do get.

EU gets Windows 11 'N'. It's gdpr compliantnane doesn't include the ads. I don't know about the telemetry though.
-
Anyone can install Windows N, just select it during the installation
I'd still recommend debloating it using some script though
-
Does that actually work?
-
Yes, if I need to install Windows I always pick the N version. Just make sure to install the Media Feature Pack from the "optional features" area in the Settings app, otherwise some apps like Spotify might not work correctly. It took me days to figure this out, I was incredibly frustrated (that's often the case with Windows lol, that's why I switched to Linux).
-
Yes, until you install an update. Then it's best practice to run it again.

I live in North America, I happen to have bought a Windows 10 license from Microsoft's website.
If I install the "N" version of Windows 10, my license key doesn't work.
That being said, give it a try, if it works, great, if not, just install the non-N version and debloat.
GL everyone.
