Wiki - Windows Setup - Home

Introduction

Welcome to my game setup for Windows 11. Currently, I use a self-build pc (Intel Core i5-8600, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in a Fractal Design Meshify C case) from 2018 at home.

You will learn my favorite Windows preferences, see the applications and tools that I use for mosly gaming. All steps are detailed described below. Also, there is an automated script to install and configure most of these steps.

Tested on Windows 11 Pro (21H2)
