## :books: How do I use this?
> [!CAUTION]
> The **Pro** and **Enterprise** versions of Windows are recommended because **the Home editions of Windows don't support Group Policies**.
> [!NOTE]
> If **configuration** is found, NitroWin will use the **default** one. If you **don't like it**, **customize it** to your liking using **[the configurator on my Codeberg page](https://niitroo.codeberg.page)**.
1. **Download** the [latest version of the **answer file**](https://github.com/nitrowinproject/NitroWin/releases/latest/download/autounattend.xml).
2. **Copy** it to the **root** of your **installation media**.
3. Install **Windows** as **usual**.
4. (**optional**, but **highly recommended**) Use **[WinUtil](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil)** and **[OOSU](https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10)** for even **better privacy**.
> [!TIP]
> Check out **[this guide](docs/vm.md)** for running NitroWin inside a **virtual machine**.
