5 sourcesScripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image
29 points · Open discussionTiny10 and Tiny11 were debloated stand-alone ISO's by a developer who chose some of the most despised default features & apps, and removed them in advance from the install media. Based on media from recent years these are still available, but appear to have been surpassed by the more versatile "Builder" approach where you can do more of a personal selection of extraneous features to retain or eliminate.
So now it's "Tiny11 Builder" which is like a template script you select your features from, and you have to supply your own Windows ISO which you download from Microsoft:
https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder
After the process is complete you end up with your own custom Tiny11 ISO, debloated according to the Powershell builder script.
Using your Tiny11 ISO no differently than the original ISO from Microsoft, you can then clean-instal

Once installed, it does have a smaller resource footprint, but this is Windows 11 so it's never going to be exactly "tiny".
Alternatively, Ameliorated seems to have taken a similar path to Tiny11, also for Windows 10 as well:
