This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don't know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don't have a recovery CD or anything like that. I'd also need to back up everything first... which would be a pain...

AtlasOS in a windows spin that's just straight up insecure and borderline broken given how many tweaks it makes and it disabling updating

Examples of cringe :

Hope you saved your word docs, because this insta force kills any app on shutdown

Hard drive full? you'll never know
