An optimized modification of Windows, designed for gamers.
atlasos.net
We designed Atlas to maximize performance and minimize latency. Experience higher framerates and lower latency compared to stock, slow Windows.

This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don’t know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don’t have a recovery CD or anything like that. I’d also need to back up everything first… which would be a pain…

    I generally would recommend staying away from third party modified versions of Windows. This would be especially true for OP as you seem to be a relatively inexperienced user.

    Usually the security risk isnt worth whatever they offer and most of the time any features they offer could usually be accomplished within standard Windows.

      I heard (back when it was featured on Linus tech tips), that it completely disabled Windows defender. Big red flag IMO.

        It did and they received mountains of flack for it, before adding it back.

        I used it for a while before I just stopped fucking with Windows entirely, and did not care because it was an exclusive gaming PC, and that’s what Atlas’ stated intent is.
