**Because it's a powershell script you need to allow it to run on your system.  If you don't know what this means then DO NOT USE this script.**

**Fully run the Windows and Dell updates before this!!!!!** 

**Why? Because it needs the updates from windows update for winget and other sub-systems and the Dell apps will be removed.**

**To minimize issues - Open a powershell prompt first and type winget list.  Answer yes.**

## Common solutions for first runs

### If it fails saying scripts can't be run:

set-executionpolicy remotesigned 

then Y when it asks how to change it.

### If it is just sitting on the winget update task 

press y and enter.  It is actually asking if you agree to the souce agreement terms. if you want to actually see the original prompt open a powershell window and do winget list instead.

### If it closes right away or you see a ExecutionPolicy error

1. Win10 Pro

* Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

2. Win11 Pro

* Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser Unrestricted
