Why would you get rid of the dropper?

Keep the dropper. Or at least keep it in reserve for when you do actually go off road.
I'd get gears on it asap. Although not sure how many cheap NW chainrings you'll find to fit your chainset. Most are 4 bolt 104bcd.
I have a clutch mech on my 10 speed setup. Never had trouble with chain drops.

I wanted something to nob about in the woods with that was a bit more capable than my Straggler, but that suited my budget of not many money. Found this Inbred for what appeared to be a pretty low price, just round the corner from me.
My first off-road bike since I was about 10!
After getting it home it’s clear it needs a bit of attention, so I think first port of call is a bit of dismantlement, cleaning, greasing etc.
I know nothing about the mtb side of things so I’d welcome any suggestions here. I think currently my list of stuff I want to happen to this bike is:
A bit of a once-over.
Ditch dropper for rigid seatpost.
Ride it a bit.
Closely-ish followed by:
Buy better cranks + nw ring
Buy shifter, mech, cassette, chain - probably 10spd
Buy bars that aren’t revolting red.
Remove as much other red stuff as possible.
Ride more, hopefully with higher levels of glee proportionate to additional spend.
Sorry about shit photo and messy studio.
