Suggestions on the main improvements

* Upgraded to Windows 11 Home
* Went back to Kaspersky Security Cloud Free.
* Replaced EaseUS ToDo Free with AOMEI Backupper PRO from the giveaway from this Forum.
* Removed Neuman Data Sentinel. ( Finally got annoyed that I could not remove restore points when I wanted. :) )

And a question... What the heck do they mean with "Integrity of recovery plan", Is that a new thing in Windows 11 Home and other versions?
