Install Avast antivirus, Norton Antivirus, and McAfee. You have to make sure your computer is as secure as possible.
op this! and remember first thing after installation to defrag ur ssd ! very important !!!1
first step, delete windows. second step, install gentoo
This, OP!
But make sure you scan your antiviruses with your other antiviruses. You never know, your antiviruses might have viruses!
Install LTSC

You don't. You can run something like winprivacy.de to bulk disable a bunch of the obvious stuff, but no one says these hundreds of things are all they are (or will be after any update for any software).
You really just keep anything you don't want immediately botnet-ed on a separate Linux/BSD machine (preferably with some application sandboxing or full mandatory access/resource control).
that's a virus OP, don't do it!
You can't. There's no way to *know* is gone, you can just be pretty sure it's all gone.
You can't, install openbsd.

When / how can you realistically ever do this on Windows? And can you keep it up with program / OS updates?
I personally think I can't really even begin to do this. There is a really astonishing amount of nonsense that is going on that I and other people caught, but I have fuckall confidence in saying "that's it, we got it".
I know it's autism but don't worry, I recently installed the 64bit ISO without issues
Lol why would I want to use LTSC
You don't, telemetry is built-in.
All Windows versions since at least XP are 100% unalterable botnet.
install win 7 or 8.1 instead
debloat it

and remember to get it activated with KMS

Can LTSC access the PC pass shit on the MS store?
no
Well shite. Microsoft's such a bitch about this.
