    How is this not clear?

    "A modification of Windows, designed for gamers."

    "Performance: By Removing unnecessary components, disabling power-saving features, and optimizing services."

    "Privacy: By eliminating Microsoft's notorious tracking, pre-installed apps, and bloatware, you can feel confident when using Atlas."

    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!!!
    2 projects | /r/LegionGo | 7 Dec 2023
    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 AtlasOS” 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.

    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.

    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.
