We’ve aggregated feedback from five tech forums (Reddit r/Windows10, TechPowerUp, BleepingComputer, TenForums, and MajorGeeks):

“A word of caution: The ‘generic’ tag is accurate, but on my Surface Go (ARM64), I had to manually edit the script to bypass a CPU architecture check. Still, it worked after that.” – ARMHacker
“I wish the readme had clearer warnings about bitlocker. The script forces a reboot, and I nearly got locked out because I hadn’t suspended protection.” – SecureBootSam
