What trials?
Only thing I had to remove was Skype and there are tools that let you do whatever you want in a matter of minutes.
Yes, there are some tools which can help, eg https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer, also Windows itself has the GodMode, but it need somewhat more than this and only remove Skype, MS Store and Cortana.
I don't use Windows, but doesn't the LTSC and/or Enterprise edition come with better defaults?
Yeah, LTSC is basically how Windows should be, with less bloatware and security updates only.
or the server version. But it is difficult and/or expensive for ordinary users to use any of the unbloated versions.
I don't know, I've the Home edition and this came by default with a lot of crap and services to "improve the User experience" as they call it euphemistically and that can only be understood sarcastically.
Yeah, cause shockingly enterprise customers don't like the idea of microsoft taking big chunks of data for no rhyme or reason.
