Very Low CPU and GPU Usage
As a last hope you could backup your windows install and try installing Atlas OS on top, haven't tried it yet on Win11 but it should clear some process and ram for the game to run : https://atlasos.net/ MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR WINDOWS DISK FIRST. I'd recommand a software that you can launch on a USB stick instead of a program ran from Windows. I used https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/ but many others offer backups and PE USb bootable ISOs

Vanilla Windows 11 + AtlasOS + Legion Space = BEAST!!!
Ok the whole story. My LLG started BSOD after doing a system restore because of a borked Handheld Companion install. So instead of using the recovery image I thought "now would be the perfect time to try out a vanilla Win 11 install and use AtlasOSβ to see the difference it makes when it comes to gaming. So I download the drivers and Legion Space from Lenovo, Win 11 ISO, and AtlasOS files and I do think that it gave this beast some claws. It seems twice as fast as before without useless processes running in the background to bog things down. All the useless bloatware is gone and my LLG is running like a well oiled machine. I will run test later to compare but I think I have a winner here.

Why does my HDD use 100%
You can't, Windows >7 is a pain to have on a hard drive and will use 100% of it all the time. If you don't want to get an SSD, your best option is atlasos.net which isn't as good than getting an ssd but better than stock Windows.

GPD Win 2 Poor Man's Cooling Mods in 2023
One modification that had a suprising effect was installing AtlasOS on top of Windows 11 using the AME wizard and Atlas playbook. https://atlasos.net/ - this produced an immediate and noticeable responsiveness improvement across the board. Before AtlasOS the mouse was still too slow even at the fastest setting in Windows. After AtlasOS everything was so much more responsive I had to slow down the mouse slightly because it was now moving so quickly and smoothly. I'm still a little dumbfounded by how good AtlasOS actually seems to be. But it's yet to be seen if whatever was gutted from Windows will cause issues down the line.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.

Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

How do I remove the recommended thing in the start menu, or add more space for pinned apps?
There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

Ask HN: How do you βcleanβ Windows from all bloatware?
I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

I missed the old windows so i tried to recreate it
Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.
