The fastest and most optimized Windows 11. You can install it on older and unsupported devices. The image was build via official tiny11 Builder and MSDN image of Windows 11 24H2 Pro Build 26100.2314.
While Windows 10 and Windows 11 aren't the most compact operating systems (minimum system requirements require at least 20GB of free disk space), modern versions of Windows are increasingly difficult to run on less powerful devices.
In this context, projects such as tiny10 and tiny11 come to the fore, providing lightweight and stripped-down versions of the OS for older computers that retain compatibility or key features.
Tiny11 is a majorly stripped-back, bare-bones version of Windows 11 Pro 22H2 that dramatically lowers the system requirements. The operating system needs just 8GB of disk space and 2GB of RAM, and it does not require TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and Secure Boot support.
Note! This image is a significantly reduced Windows 11 image. However, it's not suitable for regular use due to its lack of serviceability - you can't add languages, updates, or features post-creation. tiny11 Core is not a full Windows 11 substitute but a rapid testing or development tool, potentially useful for VM environments. Keep in mind that you cannot add back features in tiny11 core.

Known issues
1. Although Edge is removed, there are some remnants in the Settings. But the app in itself is deleted. You can install any browser using WinGet (after you update the app using Microsoft Store). If you want Edge, Copilot and Web Search back, simply install Edge using Winget: `winget install edge`. Note: You might have to update Winget before being able to install any apps, using Microsoft Store.
2. Outlook and Dev Home might reappear after some time.
