    Genuine question - are ads in 11 Pro?

    I know in previous versions that they left out the nonsense like hassling you about Edge, and dropping start menu tiles for candy crush - I’d be surprised if they decided to piss off their enterprise market as Apple seem to be gaining share.

      No clue. I’m still on 10 and I always run o&o shutup and other tools after a fresh install. I don’t get ads and such. But hopefully someone else can tell you more about 11 specifically.
