Tiny11 Builder: Create a Lightweight Windows 11 ISO Tailored to Your Needs
Introduction
The maker of Tiny11, a third-party project aimed at reducing the unnecessary bloat in Windows 11, has released a new version of Tiny11 Builder. This special tool allows users to create a custom Windows 11 image that is tailored to their specific needs and preferences. The latest release of Tiny11 Builder introduces enhancements that make it even easier to create a lightweight Windows 11 ISO without the concern of installing a modified system.
Customize Windows 11 with Tiny11 Builder
Tiny11 Builder, an open-source tool, grants users the ability to understand better how it works by allowing them to look “under the hood.” The tool solely utilizes Microsoft-made utilities like DISM or oscdimg.exe (a part of the Windows ADK). The inclusion of an unattended answer file allows for bypassing the Microsoft Account during OOBE and deploying the image with the /compact flag. The open-source nature of Tiny11 Builder further allows users to add or remove functionalities according to their preferences, with feedback being highly appreciated by the developer.
Adaptable to Different Windows 11 Builds
The new version of Tiny11 Builder is no longer tied to a specific Windows 11 build. It can be utilized with any language, version, and architecture. This versatility offers users the freedom to apply the tool without worrying about compatibility issues.
The Role of PowerShell
The recent improvements in Tiny11 Builder owe their existence to the enhanced scripting capabilities of PowerShell. By utilizing PowerShell, users gain increased flexibility and stronger execution capabilities.
Using Tiny11 Builder
Before making use of Tiny11 Builder, it is essential to adjust the execution policy to unrestricted within PowerShell (ensure PowerShell runs as Administrator) by executing the command Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted. This step is necessary due to the usage of PowerShell in the updated Tiny11 Builder.
Safe Download and Warnings
Tiny11 Builder can be obtained from its GitHub repository. However, it is important to note that to ensure maximum safety, only the official Windows images from Microsoft can be considered 100% safe. Therefore, users should exercise caution when using third-party tools and be aware of potential risks and complications that may arise. It is imperative to remember that the responsibility lies solely with the user when making modifications to their system.
