Look at the Task Manager and see what it is running in the background.
If you want to install and have ZERO bloatware, check

Thanks, will check it out! BTW, do you recommend disabling services in Win 11 when optimizing for music production?

if I had the money I would get a mac any day of the week. If I had even more money I would have a gaming PC as well lol

You are welcome.
You do not need to disable.
But here I disable what I don't use.
For me, the fewer services/programs running in the background, the better.

Note that you should know what you're doing when disabling services. Some of them are not that obvious to what they do and what they affect.

Very true. I plan to use the Black Viper services script on Github for Windows 10; I assume(!) that it will also be good for Windows 11, but will do a services list backup first.

If you are not only using your PC for music production, but also playing a game, 100%, definitely go for Gaming Desktop (Windows)

If you are concerned about the portability and not really fussed with either OS, go for Mac
