If you prefer a bloat-free version of Windows 11 on your computer instead of Tiny11, you may have heard about Windows 11 Lite. Windows 11 Lite is similar to Tiny11 as it offers a bloat-free experience, allowing users to install Windows 11 with no bloatware or useless features.
NTDev, the developer of Tiny11, has released another major update, the 23H2 release, with a custom ISO using the open-source OSDBuilder PowerShell tool. The primary aim of this update is to help users run Windows 11 even on low-end computers.
Install Windows 11 23H2 on low-end, unsupported hardware.
To declutter Windows 11, Tiny11 23H2 removes every unnecessary app or service, including default apps, services, and features. It packs some default elements that help create a lightweight version of the OS, taking up less space.
Tiny11 can do everything that Windows 11 can do. Functionality and other things remain the same. Features like Microsoft Edge have been removed, meaning you can install your preferred web browser based on your preferences.
Features like Windows Update, activation, and other apps work the same way as they do on Windows 11. Other essential things like Microsoft Defender Antivirus, firewall core isolation, data encryption, and others still come with Tiny11.
One notable feature of Tiny11 23H2 is the integration of Xbox identity providers, allowing players to play games from the Microsoft Store and use Xbox-related services.
