Better Windows

A nifty tool made for additions to a usual Windows installation.

8. Why / Rebloat

If for some reason, you would want to rebloat your device in a proper way.

To-Do:

  • Add a Debloater type script too to make it a one-stop solution. (Maybe fork the famous windows10debloater)
  • Reorganize the script a little bit (maybe a more procedural main-function based script)
  • Maybe rework the UI (not really needed as the basic selection menu gets the work done but would be more pleasing)
  • Remove redundant code, maybe have string selections/array selections to fetch chocolatey for example. And, also divide them into functions.
