It is very strange that China had to tell Microsoft about the changes it had to make get the perfect Windows 11, but it was like that. Unfortunately, this “perfect” version was restricted to government use in China, meaning it was impossible to get hold of in any way, at least until now, as it was just leaked onto the internet.

The leaked version is known as Windows 11 China Government Editionand it is a version of the well-known Microsoft operating system with very important changes that, as I said at the beginning of this article, make it an almost perfect operating system because:

• Comes without telemetry, This means that Microsoft does not collect or obtain information about how your computer is used.
• It does not contain any type of bloatwarethat is, it is a completely clean operating system, which means it weighs less, takes up less space, and consumes less resources.
• It won’t even install Microsoft Defender or Microsoft Edge. The first is a security solution that is quite useful but consumes quite a few resources. The second is a browser that has a very low presence in the market and that we normally only use once to download Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or another alternative browser.
• It has no hardware requirements or limitationswhich means it can be installed on computers that do not meet the minimum Windows 11 requirements.

This version is confirmed to have much lower resource consumptionand that it works best on computers that have modest specifications and less memory. It’s a very interesting option, especially since it builds to a much more balanced and rational point than other modified versions of Windows 11, such as AtlasOS, which takes everything to the extreme and thus moves away from the normal user profile. .

Risks of this version of Windows 11

Although this is a very attractive option, we must remember that this is a Windows 11 variant that comes from an unofficial source, and this also requires an activation method which is illegal. These two keys prevent it from being perfect, and in the end it becomes clear that it is a significant security risk. If you decide to install it, you must be clear that you are the only one who will take a big risk.

If you want to try it in a less dangerous way, you can resort to virtualization, but even then you will have to be careful because You are already taking a risk by simply downloading it. The standard version of Windows 11 allows you to make various settings to customize the operating system. It does not reach the same level, but we can disable telemetry and stop advertising, so this way is much safer and recommended, although it is also slower and requires more patience on our part.
