This 30-minute tutorial guides you through the complete process of setting up a new PC with a bloatware-free approach. Learn how to properly configure BIOS settings, install and activate Windows 11 (with options for both Microsoft account and local account setup), and install essential motherboard and GPU drivers without unnecessary software. The video is organized into clear sections covering each step of the setup process, from initial BIOS configuration to final Windows activation. It includes direct links to official download sources for Windows 11, the Rufus ISO imaging utility, and drivers from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. This tutorial is part of a series that also covers PC component selection and physical assembly, with references to companion videos for those stages and for additional Windows 11 configuration options.
