- You can also set up almost all of these settings by using another utility [ThisIsWin11](https://github.com/builtbybel/ThisIsWin11). You can also download multiple applications directly through this using Windows Package Manager (You Will Need WinGet for this, the app will guide you to install it)

- Both are pretty straight forward. Open whichever one you want to use, select the drive you want to clean up, and select everything you wish to delete. This generally includes stuff like `Windows Update Cleanup` , `Temporary Files` , `Delivery Optimization Files`.
- Be careful in what you select, as there is an option to clear out `Downloaded Files` , and this will remove everything from your 'Downloads' folder.

2. Create a Restore Point
9. ### Create a Restore Point
- Now that Windows has been set up in the optimal way, you should create a system restore point, so if at any point in the future you need to revert back without doing everything from scratch again, you can use this.

3. Installing Apps
- You can download any and all apps you require from their respective websites. You can also use [Ninite](https://ninite.com/) to make the process a lot simpler. Just select the apps you want, and click on `Get Your Ninite` at the bottom of the page. This will download a custom installer which will install/update all the apps you selected.

## Step 7 - Optional but Recommended Stuff
## Optional Stuff

1. Nilesoft Shell
