We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Not with Student as far as I know. The licenced version allows some modules to be uninstalled. 

If you click "Use built in compiler" there's no need to install Visual Studio; after many years of asking for it a CLANG compiler was built into the code. I'm not sure which version we're currently supporting, but it'll be covered in some of the "Supported Platform" documents in ansys.com and then Support.Â
