A Windows setup scripts to setup a perfect Windows 11 installation from scratch
I reset my Windows machine pretty often and I was tired of doing everything in here manually every time, that's why I decided to create a script to do all of this for me.
To setup a fresh Windows 11 installation, clone or download/extract the repository and open a Powershell as Administrator in the root folder.
If needed, enable the bypass execution policy for the process by using
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass
Finally to run the main script using default settings just do
.\setup.ps1
However, you can add options to alter the installation Here is the list of flags and what they do:
| Flag | Explanation |
|---|---|
-KeepOneDrive |
Will not uninstall OneDrive |
-GitConfig |
Copies the .gitconfig file from the root folder |
-SSHFolder |
Copies the folder given as argument as the .ssh folder |
-GPGKey |
Installs the key given as argument to gpg |
-FirefoxExtensions |
Installs extensions in the script to Firefox |
-VSCode |
Installs VSCode, extensions and settings |
-WSL |
Installs WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) |
And let the magic happen (Click yes on admin prompts when needed)
