Windows 10 Slim Iso

15-09-2021 admin

If you're going to use Windows at all, then get the latest Windows 10 Pro ISO (since FCU added 12-GPU support), debloat it with MSMG Toolkit, and disable Windows Update in services.msc. Lastly, in your case you're actually losing money just having all your rigs just blindly mining ZEC on Linux, rather than using a profit switcher to use the.
Finding.IMG or.ISO file in Windows 8.1 Pro download Hey guys, In preparation for my new PC I downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro from Dreamspark, and I wanted to burn it to a DVD, so I can install it on the new PC.
Windows 10 Home 64bit 20H2 JAN2021 – LiteOS ISO Windows 10 Home 64bit 20H2 JAN2021 – LiteOS ISO-ESD ISO: 3.4GB. Windows Folder Size:10GB. Very carefully remove unneeded files and comps from the OS. Tweaks, Windows Store should work. Cortana Edge Defender got removed, few metro apps like Calc,Solitaire still exist.

Some have asked for an updated guide for Windows 10, thus I would like to share my latest experiment with slimming down Windows 10 and the steps I took to get it working.

Purpose:

Create a small functional image to be used for a fast virtual machine which can run most Windows Desktop applications, using minimal memory and minimal HD space.

This is not a general guide, but just the steps I documented for my own needs, which may prove helpful to others who want to accomplish something similar. (My steps & descriptions are quite concise and without pictures, so this may not work as a beginners guide, but you can find a nice one here.

OS, VM and NTLite System Requirements

Recent version of Parallels (version 12) on a recent version of macOS (Sierra) and 8 GB RAM (this will probably work similarly in VMware)
Windows ISO file: MSDN version of Windows 10 LTSB
- I am using the LTSB version in this example, because it is already built to function without Metro and it only requires minimal updates (but other versions of Windows 10 should work similarly)
NTLite with at least the Home license, after trying out the free version (it cannot remove as much as the licensed one)

Preferably, create a Virtual Machine as a Host for NTlite with the full version of the target OS
- for example Windows 10 LTSB 32 bit
- assign at least 3GB memory for the OS hosting NTlite
Install NTlite on the Host
- use HWlist, if targeting the OS for other hardware
Download official Windows 10 ISOs from Microsoft (this includes a lot of recent updates already) or use the RTM/MSDN ISO
- - RTM downloads for Windows 10 LTSB iso images can be be found on MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads
- The 64bit version takes up a lot more space “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB (x64) – DVD (English)” en_windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x64_dvd_9059483.iso
- The 32bit version will create the smallest image: “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB (x86) – DVD (English)” en_windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x86_dvd_9060010.iso
- the LTSB versions are a bit hard to get without a MSDN subscription; for more info google: ‘mydigitallife MSDN Windows 10 LTSB’
- check hash of downloaded image with Hashtab
Mount the ISO image
Copy contents of the ISO to a folder on the Desktop, for example
‘Windows10ltsb’

Strange layout in Settings – Privacy – Location

I tested it with various applications, and so far everything works fine including larger ones such as Corel Draw.

Final on-disk install Sizes with Presets:

Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (32bit) NTliteTiny2 – 1.2 GB (no swap)
- The created iso image is less than 700 MB (with esd). This is my smallest image which works without problems, by leaving out Updates, Printing, OneDrive and a few other things. With more testing, this could be reduced further.
Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (32bit) NTlite9 with integrated updates – 2.3 GB (plus 500MB swap)
Windows 10 Enterprise 1703 (32bit) original FULL install – 9 GB (no compression), 7.5 GB (with compression)
Windows 10 Enterprise 1703 (32bit) NTlite1.0 with integrated updates – 2 GB (plus 500MB swap)
- This is my favorite general purpose VM, using the settings described in the tutorial

If you want to use one of these example presets, please adapt them to your needs: at a minimum check the Components – [toolbar] Compatibility options.
