Avoid Windows 11 Regedit

 Only one of my PCs qualify for Windows 11
. . . And MS is not pushing 11 on you anyway
. . . . . But just in case.
  1. Select Start.
  2. Type regedit.exe.
  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
    1. If keys do not exist, create them by right-clicking on the previous key and selecting New > Key from the context menu.
  4. Right-click on WindowsUpdate and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.
    1. Name it TargetReleaseVersion.
    2. Double-click on the new Dword and set it to 1.
  5. Right-click on WindowsUpdate and select New > String Value.
    1. Name it TargetReleaseVersionInfo.
    2. Double-click on the new String and set it to 21H1. (or 21H2 if you like)
  6. Restart the PC.

Software Locator

Update: PatdhMyPC is a good choice tor installing software and
Chris Titus Windows Utility is great for Windows tweaking and essential programs
In admin Power Shell
iwr -useb https://christitus.com/win | iex

Update: I like Choco but some programs don't update or install. Keep PatchMyPC in mind.
I like Choco for new setups for the ease of pasting a list of programs into the command window.
Some programs in Choco do not install even though they show as existing. Symenu is still necessary.
And sometimes you still need to go to a website for the program.
I have not completely settled on each install of portable between Sy or Choco.
