Edit: in my experience, changing the language to something else immediately after install is done still adds the crapware automatically. I think I needed to reboot once or twice for whatever post-install service Windows runs to no longer get executed.
Most third party tools are outdated or do stupid stuff which isn’t needed. You can silence Windows with the right GroupPolicies quite easy.
I'd definitely love a .reg file generator website like this one, to apply some of these settings after the fact!
Now I run Linux with / on a hard drive and /usr on SSD.
