 1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
 2. Open PowerShell as Administrator and navigate to the directory where the script is located.
-3. Run the script by entering the following command: `.\initialize.ps1`.
+3. Set Execution Policy to Bypass: `Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` **#Remember to never run scripts blindly.**
+4. Run the script by entering the following command: `.\initialize.ps1`.
 
 ## Functionality
 
 The script consists of the following functions:
 
-- `AAP($pkg)`: installs AppxPackage. 
-- `InstallPrereqs()`: installs winget prerequisites from the `.\prereqs` directory. 
-- `WingetCheck()`: checks for winget; if it doesn't exist, installs prerequisites and winget. 
-- `InstallApps()`: installs apps from JSON list.
+- `AAP`: installs AppxPackage. 
+- `InstallPrereqs`: installs winget prerequisites from the `.\prereqs` directory. 
+- `WingetCheck`: checks for winget; if it doesn't exist, installs prerequisites and winget. 
+- `InstallApps`: installs apps from JSON list. **#You may comment out InstallApps in the "Call Functions" section if you would only like the script to install Winget.**
 
 The script checks whether the winget package manager is installed on the machine. If it is not installed, the script installs the prerequisites for winget and then downloads and installs winget. After installing W=winget, the script installs the applications listed in the `.\apps.json` file using winget import.
