The most annoying thing is that users from Europe get to skip most of this. No privacy option nagging, no OneDrive nagging.
I could do what you did in 40 minutes, including the updates (no idea why yours took 40 minutes, I'd say about 20 for a fresh install).
So it is possible, but it's Microslop so...
Absolutely insane! I needed a fresh machine to test something so i installed Windows 10 LTSC IoT on a 13 year old machine (processor, mobo, RAM, PSU… the video card was updated and it has some SATA SSDs.)
The install took less than ten minutes and I was in. Cracking took five minutes, and ninite took a minute or two to install all my software.
