So I only use Windows 10 for gaming, but curious to see if anyone has any resources for hardening Windows 10?

Take a look at ameliorated.io

If you don’t want to put in the effort, the most time efficient way is just to install windows 10 LTSC (long term support), and slapping portmaster or adguard on it, with some telemetry-blocking DNS.

Feel free to ask for more info if you’d like to know more

Delete the partitions it’s installed on and install a Linux distro

You might want to check out this github link privacy.sexy. It has a bunch if scripts to do all sorts of things. It also has a GUI to customize your script the way you want. Disable telemetry, uninstall default programs like edge and skype. You can setup a task to run on interval’s of your choosing.

I run Linux on all my computers but one tablet/computer and have used privacy.sexy since I bought it. It seems to work well and you can roll back your changes you make if you like or if their script brakes something you need.
