## :fire: Before running :fire: * Due to the fact that the script includes more than **150** functions with different arguments, you must read the entire **Sophia.ps1** carefully and **comment out/uncomment** those functions that you do/do not want to be executed. Every tweak in the preset file has its' corresponding function to **restore the default settings**. * Running the script is best done on a fresh install because running it on **wrong** tweaked system may result in errors occurring. ## Supported Windows 10 versions |Version| Marketing name | Build | Arch | Editions | Script version | |:-----:|:-------------------:|:-----:|:----:|:-----------------:|:--------------:| | 21H1 | May 2021 Update | 19043 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[5.10.3](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest)| | 20H2 | October 2020 Update | 19042 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[5.10.3](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest)| | 2004 | May 2020 Update | 19041 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[5.10.3](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest)| | 1809 | LTSC Enterprise 2019| 17763 | x64 | Enterprise |[5.2.3](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest)| ## Screenshots ### The TAB autocomplete.
