## :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.
