## FAQ
Read the code you run carefully. Some functions are presented as an example only. You must be aware of the meaning of the functions in the code. **If you're not sure what the script does, do not run it** .
**Strongly recommended to run the script after fresh installation**. Some of functions can be run also on LTSB/LTSC and on older versions of Windows and PowerShell (not recommended to run on the x86 systems).
