As a technician in 3rd world country when alot of people including myself still using 10 years old machine, this is so useful. Thanks man

thank you, it installed flawless on a 15 year old dual core laptop no errors what so ever. 2 gig mhz with 4 gigs ram, ran debloater after and tasks went from 160 to 65.

You know, these videos are just awesome. I often know much of the stuff already. But then when I actually sit down to do these kinds of things, I might forget some steps, some stuff may have changed, and some new features added or tools gotten available that actually makes my older way of doing it the more cumbersome. Because after 35-some years in IT, the enthusiasm for keeping up with something which is just going to be gone or changed again within 2-3 years, it does get rather tiresome and exhausting. - Then it is great to have somewhere to go, to find summed up step-by-step "recipes" and even get reminded about the small details.

Also don't use winget in an admin console, if it needs admin access it'll prompt for it. That way you can install and run your browser without admin privileges.

It was nice of NTDEV to release this builder script to debloat certain stock 11 ISOs to be similar to tiny11. Also that Add-AppxPackage command to install winget is something I'll keep in mind for sure.

14:21 - No need to click "New". Just "Next" & the install will do it automatically. You only need "New" in case you want specific configuration.

Great video as always. One thing is that if you want to manually remove aspects of Windows, (Xbox, Cortana, etc.) or disable parts of Windows(telemetry, etc.) or want to keep certain parts of Windows(Edge, etc.) one great program is called NTLite. It's a program where you can import and edit a Windows ISO manually, and do things like adding driver support, installing updates to a certain ISO, removing features, disabling things, removing programs, and more. It's a great tool that I think you(Cyber) should make a video on, especially considering you don't have to download an outdated Windows ISO from a 3rd party mirror, and it gives you even more flexibility than this script. Would recommend.

If you have Ventoy on a portable HDD/SSD, you could just keep a folder on it with the installer for your web browser (and other apps if you want) inside it if you don't wanna go the winget route after first boot! I have an "/ISOs" directory and an "/Apps" directory on mine, and Ventoy is configured to only look at files inside the "/ISOs" directory when booting from it, makes a handy swiss army knife 👍

I want to "thank you" for the great videos. I've done software/hardware fixes and repairs for many people. And, built PCs. Your extra guidance is superior to so many. I'm very pleased with your channel! Keep up the good work!

17:00 to download a browser its easier to just download the installation file for your preferred browser on to a different usb Before you install the new os

I have to respect the fact you keep trying to support/defend Windows 11. 😆 I'll stick with Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, thanks.

WOW another cool Vidoe. Yes I have done some TINY ISOs myself using your instructions . They are cool. Thumbs up , more of these and Greetings from Germany

Thank you. I would like to see that the owners of the Windows operating system would take on such projects themselves and not make it difficult to develop such useful things.

I am saving this video when i want to install a fresh windows 11.

I've been a subscriber for a while now,. I got an awesome deal on a laptop. It's got the usual manufacturer bloatware. I don't want any of that! This video came in REAL handy! I will be installing a new larger M.2 stick, and more memory, and now I can have my own tiny version of 11 when it gets here on 06-02! Thanks Rich! :)

many thanks man, your vid are most easy for me to understand. hope this channel grow sub fast, you really deserved !

Nicely done! It's good to give people choices.

It was a success! Now will install my games and test it. So far everything is smooth! Thank you for your guide. Subscribed!

only I am seeing is this error message everytime: Status Legend: (OK):download completed. Unable to retrieve data from Windows Update servers. Reason: XML_PARSE_ERROR If this problem persists, most likely the set you are attempting to download was removed from Windows Update servers. Press any key to continue . . . what to do?

In this video you commented about your preference to select "New" and "formatting" while prepping for a new install ... Suggestion ... in future vids, either in the vid or down below in the comment area add why you have chosen the preferences, remember, those of us that watch your vids do so because they want to learn ... thanks Great vids keep it up ...

YEA! keep it coming bro. Love it all kind info and learning going on here.

16:51 I'm not familiar or successful with this command thing. What I do if if there's no browser or if I want to install my own browser, I keep an offline package stored on my drive or mobile device and use that exe to get thing going. Like Vivaldi, opera or flroop browser or librewolf browser or even brave browser. Tried and tested and works for me. No tension.

CyberCPU Tech You did a great job explaining how to create your own Tiny11. Thanks👍👍

Very good video. You've got the magic touch for creating tech videos. Thank you. 👍

You weren't lying, uup dump is taking an eternity

i mean yea its bloated but it got mainstream and people felt like they shouldn't use windows 11 sacrificing more system resources for a very well designed operating system, i mean yeah tracing and viewing processes / reg key values / reading microsoft docs you can optimize it very well, dont be afraid to break the system ! awesome video

Can't watch the vid yet, but grateful you made it. Liked and subscribed.

I just recently watched this guy's video. it help me a lot though. . U earned a subscriber here..

Great Video! however Most of the viewers are not watching this video on 42inch LCD, it is hard to see what's in the terminal :)

...I don't think it matters much because Microsoft will just repatch the OS upon a major release update and add what ever it wishes to the main install.

11:00 actually the author of rufus explains that there is absolutely no difference between the portable and the regular one except that the executable checks if it has a p at the end and if so puts the ini file in the same directory as the executable vs in your profile making the config portable. So for 99% of users it doesn't matter only those wanting to have rufus on a portable stick and leave no trace on other systems and carry the config on it.

My ISO installed successfully but tried to install Mozilla Firefox via Powershell but unfortunately it didn’t work so had to install it from Microsoft Store and now I have Firefox on my Windows 11 Lite! Overall I am happy that I have my own debloated Windows 11 on my notebook PC.

All the windows apps here that cannot be remove by windows default uninstaller can be uninstall by iobit uninstaller. So basically you can just modify the installer in rufus and eventually remove all this apps using iobit uninstaller. Using tiny builder is making the system unstable like the start menu that whatever new apps you will intall, it wont automatically show in the recent add.

Excellent. Of course, I want to keep my current data. Also, my PC boots from a small SSD and has most of my data on a large HD. Yeah, I got it when SSDs were fairly expensive.

OMG this is amazing (from your biggest fan)

I opened youtube to see if you put any video and suddenly your last video was the 1st thing i see on KZfaq 😂

I get an error after it downloads aria2 script error "unable to retrieve data from windows update servers. reason: XML_PARSE_ERROR" How do I get past that? Thank you!

Interesting video, thank you. Personally I prefer building my custom iso with NT Lite, and you can use any version of the Windows 11 iso. However, I get that you really have to spend some time learning to use it correctly, but in the end it's just so freakin awesome.

Your always looking for Ideas to video. how about making a video in how to use the Windows Store without having to login with email and password. Now that's a challenge. liked this video by the way.

Wouldn't call it tiny, slimmer would be a fair to say, Tiny is from Windows X-Lite, which reduces the size of OS to 1.3~1.5Gigs without losing much compatability to software.

thank you for such a thorough guide!

When I want to watch another twenty-minute video that covers two minutes of reading the most basic documentation, I'll be back.

All well and good sir. Tiny 11 too must be activated if you want full access. That IS a problem if you intend too use it as a STANDALONE unit. Just experimenting here and will probably dump it eventually. Rufus was very helpful.

great video :) plz put a time stamp for your baked in ad......some of us pay for youtube so we have no ads, and since you get paid a tiny bit more when premium members watch. this shouldnt be a prob.

Doesn't all of the bloat just come back with this first major feature update?

17:21 or you can get a other usb to install a browser before you install tiny 11 and just open the usb and install it

Nice video. I will try to do this the next time. 🙂

Any chance you can do a lite windows 11 with msmg toolkit? Also if you use the lite windows 11 install to upgrade a standard windows 10, will it get rid of all the junk or do you have to do a clean install?

I tried the win 11 Lite. I have an older Biostar system with 4 gigs RAM, 2.9 dual core and a 320 HD running win 8.1. It is very responsive and fast. I backed up the OS with drive snapshot just in case and am glad I did. I made the Lite version. Took forever to install. After installation the computer was really slow. I tried an SSD. Made it a little faster but still not acceptable. Updated my drivers but that made no difference. Not a complaint...just letting you know how it worked for me.

Hi this is great but they have changed the Tiny11 script and now can I cant figure out how to use it would be great if you did a video for the new script.

12:11 - More correctly - If you gonna use Secure Boot or not & also if you need a drive of More than 2Gb (such as 4Gb). Both require GPT partitions. I think Win11 install now needs Secure Boot as default

17:10: Not sure how you're going to cut and paste a command line prompt from KZfaq video over to a newly installed Windows 11 machine that's had its browser ripped out.

The power shell command isn’t working any tips

Thanks! Worked like a charm.

When installing and you have deleted all partitions you can click next. It will automatically create the new partitions without you having to do all of those extra clicks

Your videos are awesome I always wonder how often do you shave

Thank you. One question. Will this update windows and if so will it add back the bloats ?

Thank you for this informative video :)

Great vid as usual.

When i created a similar USB stick for Windows 10 several years ago i simply copied a folder with stuff that i wanted to have in my windows 10 pc, like the google chrome installer and other useful stuff. There was still a lot of room for that on the USB stick.

i like your content you help me so much

Hi there, it was a very useful and informative tutorial video. thnx

Super ncie video as usual!! Alternative: NTLite. Complete customization.

Great video, now i finally can install win 11 on my old laptop. 👍

Got a copy of it installed on an old laptop that I am going to give to a friend :)

*@CyberCPU Tech* Post a successful debloated installation, do the items removed get reinstalled when applying major cumulative updates, say, from Windows 11 21H2→22H2; and, if so, what, if anything, can be done to prevent such reinstallations?

ghost spectre is the best custom iso that i have tried

Thanks! Useful.

can you just put the tiny11 iso in a ventoy key instead of doing all the setup for usb drive in rufus ?? or do we HAVE to do like what you did ?

Good evening, i want to thank you for the tutorial it works verywell for me. i do have one question: when i use the unattended file, i get an error and can not install the debloated iso with the unattended script. how can i fix it? do you know what file i need to add to be able to install the iso with the unattended file? thanks

Could you not download the Chrome install package on the same USB flash drive (after you have created the ISO image)? Then, you can simply run it from the USB drive after Windows 11 are first started. Is there anything flawed in this approach? Seems a simpler method.

Maybe I am an idiot, but I still don't see the point to Rufus. It seems like more work. I just mount the image and take those files and past them into the USB drive... Also, when setting up Windows, I don't create a partition. I am not sure what the idea of that is either, because if you install Windows on the only partition there, it will make 4 anyway. Otherwise you're just losing more space to hidden parts of the hard drive. I used a current ISO of Windows from Microsoft. I didn't notice it taking any less time. And when I finally did get into Windows, everything was there, so I just use O&O to uninstall everything else from the machine, I use an Edge uninstaller file then I go into Programs X86 and delete Internet Explorer and Microsoft. If I am unable to delete Internet Explorer, I take ownership of the folder, then I can delete it, and if I am unable to delete Microsoft, because it's still open, I go to task manager and disabled "Widgets" then I am able to delete the Microsoft folder. I wouldn't recommend deleting Edge from System Apps folder because all it does is slow the system down, and if you change it to . (dot) disabled, it will keep reverting itself back to it's original name. Microsoft just LOVES to annoy the f*** out of their customers. I think why all the apps were still there is I forgot to disconnect my computer from the Internet while installing because it did install 11 Pro without asking me and it is a system without TPM, and all the other Microsoft mishigas and malarkey. I see countless people talk about Rufus and I just don't get it, why waste all that extra time and complicate things ? Am I missing something ?

Hi Rich . I ran into a problem with my custom lite iso , I'm not a professional so I was hoping you can give me some guidance. All the updates completed , except for the Windows cumulative update 2023 -10. My Windows version is not the latest because I don't like the 2nd release . Is this update problem from stripping different things from the installer? Also , is this a very serious update not to have ? Is it dangerous if i can't get it to take that update. I rather not make a lite iso using the newest Windows 11 version build because it keeps throwing errors . Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Don

Sorry Rich, I searched your site for the Windows 10 debloat podcast but found nothing. Is it in one of the Windows T10 ips podcasts? Thanks.

with respect, the fact that this requires downloading a file from not microsoft is a huge red flag to me. not the github, the UUP Dump.

Subbed and a comment below for the algorithm gods.

Time 😮 I started at 12 am and stopped at 4:30 am and then again continued from 12:30 pm and now at 4:12 pm its only done making iso

On Rufus I always use MBR. It will boot either MBR or UEFI.

Made sense in XP days, using nLite - don't see the point today when the OS is upgrading itself to a new build every few months..

would like to know more about what windows update will do to this tiny11 install. I feel like more information about that will be very helpful

great video 🙂

Great videos. I thought I'd put my 2 cents worth in about this W10/W11 "problem". Microsoft is selling a windows machine on line for businesses at a monthly fee. It would make sense for non-conforming W10 machines to just pay the fee and access a "modern" O/S (W11) online. Microsoft always wins.

Great video as always. But I'd like to create one that keeps in the ability to upgrade from 10. I hate reinstalling everything over and over. Even though I really need to reinstall Windows since I've been upgrading this system since 7. 🤣

LOL well must be Microsoft saw this and dumped 1265 just to annoy me. When I attempt to use UUP dump I get "Unable to retrieve data from Windows Update servers. Reason: XML_PARSE_ERROR" and "If this problem persists, most likely the set you are attempting to download was removed from Windows Update servers." So I guess I will just have to wait until they update the github to a newer version.

Ok, I'll have to investigate this .iso further. Because when I tried to install Tiny11 previously, it failed to mount.

On a HDD, 4gb ram, which os should i use? Windows 8.1 or windows 11 superlite ? I do not game. Only casual use

Hi I have questions. @7:30 on the video, how do I mount iso from my download drive? Is this possible? I don't have d drive on my machine. Do I need to have a DVD drive and also when copying iso file to DVD drive, do I need to use rufus to create iso? Say if I want to move the iso to desktop, how do I change the directory so it picks up the iso file?

This what excites me most, a web development and operating system tutorial combined, thanks for this brilliant effort @CyberCPU Tech.

The "uup_download_windows.cmd" does not work in my case. When CMD open it only it say: "Current directory contains spaces in its path. Please move or rename the directory to one not containing spaces. Press any key to continue . . ." I press any key and it closes. And no - it does not work by renaming the path.

should've shown us running processes in task manager after the installation at least

One thing I could not figure out in installing windows 10 is. When it comes to drives to install it on I was not given an option to install windows 10 on a GPT formatted Drive? Even though after install that windows drive is GPT. Windows 11 must have corrected that.

heres the thing... i follower your steps, the compiler (UUP)command prompt crashed my computer. when i went to C drive to see if tiny11 was there, it was the same size as the original. when i tried the process again, prompt stated those files existed. i deleted tiny11 from my c drive. then it told me there are files in another folder. tiny11 did not save the second time

Can you redo the windows 10 since the tool has been updated?

this install initially didn['t workout for me . i used all your links etc but where it goes south is right in the beginning thankfully . Where you direct us to run uup_download_windows file , it seeks admin approval and the dos screen then opens and on it it says click any key to continue which i then do and it just closes the cmd prompt . Just to be sure it did in fact close , i confirm in the task manager but also run sysinternals autoruns and it definetly s not running anywhere . Im assuming im not the only one that this will happen to so I suppose this message is just a heads up that you might get few more queries than you werent expecting . Keep up the good show and Thanks , And the resolve is be sure that there are no spaces in the folder names that you download to and run it from

I tried to install tiny 11 on my laptop and it still told me my system didn't meet minium requirements. And yes I selected MBR. I thought tiny 11 has a bypass around system requirements?

can we just run the setup by mounting the tiny11 iso or do we really have to make a bootable drive?

The next video should be about how to install windows unattended. A friend might use a VM soon and wants to know.

i literally need some help here 😢. My Pc is beeping about 4-5 times when it is turning on. I've checked all of hardware health and everything is ok.
