However, my general recommendation is to purchase Windows Pro and use Group Policy Editor to reconfigure some of the insane defaults of modern Windows. Websites like stacksocial have discounted prices (for personal use).
One of the insane defaults is Microsoft OneDrive. If you setup Windows with a Microsoft Account it automatically configures OneDrive. Which in turn moves the Desktop, Documents and Pictures folder into the OneDrive folder. I expect "My Documents" to be located at "C:\Users\<username>\Documents" NOT "C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\Documents".
This is very hard to correct. Unlinking and uninstalling OneDrive is not sufficient. I had to use Registry Editor to fix this, because the "Restore Default" button was not working.
At work I was forced to switch from Mac to support a C#/.NET customer. I've been pleasantly surprised with Windows 11 and especially WSL2 and the integration with VS Code. So much so that I switched my "personal" PC from PopOS to Windows (I also game and Proton was not cutting it) and I'm willing to overlook some of the decisions Microsoft has made.

Now one thing that caught my eye was this line:
<Logo>c:\windows\system32\oemlogo.bmp</Logo>
Is this only used for setup or also on boot?
