Mr. Brian, if there's someone with a gun on your head threatening you to create all these Windows 11 videos, blink twice!

[@colinrance5823]

Great video Brian thanks for taking the time to create a very clear and easy way to make our own windows iso.

[@bmc2266]

Thanks for this video!!! Right what I was looking for! Have a good one!!!✌️

[@nortenhardenberg1598]

Very nice- I need 2 days to do it, thou! Thank You very much!

[@wafflesmet]

Superb f-ng tutorial, man!

[@Britec09]

You're welcome

[@irkedoff]

So helpful I donated. Thank you for making this.

[@ampeg187]

Thanks a lot! After all the Microsoft drama i think this is the best tutorial for people that wanted custom ISO 🙂

[@Britec09]

Glad it helped!

Nice video would love to see more content like this

You can go full advanced Jedi mode on any tweaks, i will be happy to watch and learn!

Great video.

[@Britec09]

Thanks!

[@metaphorium1328]

Your tutorials are very concise! Do you know where or how I can find program dependencies.

[@KeronBullock]

Great video! The UUP dump versions are really recommended to use in a Virtual Machine and even if you update them the binaries such as setup.exe within the ISO folder etc does not get updated from the boot.wim

[@Britec09]

UUP Dump is awesome.

[@KeronBullock]

@@Britec09 It sure is Indeed. I use It whenever I want to fetch a particular build for testing purposes in a VM.

[@glennglog22]

I have been following this tutorial to the T up to 5:08, but when I press 3 to remove components, I am not presented with the "Remove Windows Components" option, just the other two options.

[@Ishitaonline]

same for me

[@joeblissett3862]

Another amazing video, many thanks. Any chances you can also show us how to create an ISO image of the Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset?

[@JohannesDavidsen2024]

Are you missing command prompt? Then create normal partition can be ntfs normal partition make it from disk manager then use (administrator) 7-zip to open winre wim inside recovery directory extract them into the partition you make, then from cmd (administrator) type bcdboot D:\Windows Change letter for same as partition letter that you make. Reboot then recovery with cmd should be there

Brian , your videos, over the last week have given me faith in using Windows over Linux. I've got 3 computers now running W11. Don't forget to recommend KMS Auto Lite, to activate your Windows 11.

[@Britec09]

Glad I could help Sonya

Congrats to Brian for coming up with the videos I was manifesting and thinking of. You read my mind lolz

Hi there, is there a list that shows all the components that are safe to remove?

[@Kioti44]

Very nice video!! I wounder if there is a way to stop or block the "Recall" feature from being installed ?

[@d34dly0101]

I am getting very confused what is the best way to stop them using bloatware and the rest help.

[@SametKaratas-db1xu]

[@XStreet1985]

What happens after update or feature update?

[@piotrbiedowicz1602]

Hi. I was wondering if you can add download link to your custom ISO which you create in this video? This would be easier for people who choose this version.

[@bkThund3r]

Does this allow you to remove system requirements so it can be installed on older hardware? What about local account login only or able to customize without product key?

[@CesareVesdani]

Is it possible to make a custom Windows 11 iso to pre-install Microsoft Office 2019?

[@corel965]

Yes.

[@rogerbowen5753]

When I first tried running the script, I kept getting an error. There was something mucked up in the aria2 powershell script in Files, I looked at it in Notepad++ and there was a section called Try at the top of it and it made it say something about outdated operating systems and it told it to exit. I deleted that bit, saved file and now it all works. Weird, you didn't have that error and I'm certain we downloaded the files from the same place. Just thought I'd put that out there in case anyone else ran into problems.

[@corel965]

Run as admin.

[@rogerbowen5753]

@@corel965 I did that. It was only taking the top lines out of the script that made it work for me.

[@pcs-zf7kz]

A tutorial for win10 would be very appreciated

[@corel965]

Same thing.

[@roshanshrestha6890]

will it still get windows update after using the custom windows iso file to install windows??

[@corel965]

Yes.

[@alpha_y2k438]

Very nice tutorial. Your videos have been a great relief for me. So there is only problem I could see with this setup. Won't MS just install the programs again in say an update? I mean removing stuff is cool and all but if MS is just going to re-add them at some point in the future, what's you point of doing ahh the work? The main thing is MS edge. I found that even in windows 10 pro if you activate some things in windows that needs edge it does one if two things 1: it installs/reactivates MS edge again, in which case you have to remove it again or... 2: in the case it doesn't install edge again, it simply just will now work. This is what I hate about windows lately, they are force feeding things to the public. I feel it's a huge intrusion of MS to intrude/enforce software that I the user paid for (not windows itself, but via paying for a cd key) and should not have to be forced to use their program of I decide I want to use something else, in this case I choose not to use edge, but rather use Firefox instead. So in short, if ms is just going to install the programs again, in this case edge, isn't it counter productive doing all the work to begin with?

I wish MSMG tool had GUI !!

[@jackiedines5229]

Hi, trying to follow this to learn, but when I try to download the MSMG Toolkit, they say that “Due to a recent takedown of Toolkit’s primary Mega account, all the Toolkit Pack contents have been lost. So from now on only Toolkit’s custom packs will be available, the rest of the pack files the user needs to get themselves and copy them to the respective packs folders as specified by the Toolkit error messages. This is way out of my league, what is the alternative? Thanks.

[@chriss2595]

Q: how to make a (kind of custom) win11 from your own system? Because all the drivers, apps, preferences, files etc. are already installed. Such a rescue boot can be more valuable than all others out there.

[@JoshuaTheYouTubeGuy2000]

Can this custom ISO be installed on a gaming PC that is built from scratch?

[@Kioti44]

Why yes it can !!

[@felipesuarez3917]

can you do an in depth video on the unattended xml file

[@_tanzil_]

Right

[@rautamiekka]

What was the point of manually extracting the ISO ?

[@corel965]

To mount .wim in MSGM.

[@AlvaroFreireAF1]

Hi Brian, when I tried to download MSMG toolkit, it sent me to a RU domain and Google Chrome blocks the download due to an unsafe software 😟

[@_tanzil_]

Please share the link of the video where you created autounattended xml file.

[@DonzLockz]

Go to the description in the video. Click on download from his website. All the links are there, including to create the XML file. :)

[@rajthakur12151]

why don't you use ntlite for custom iso

[@barbieslegos8885]

Wow lets create a video regarding custom Windows when Muta uploaded a video at the same time. What could go wrong?

[@corel965]

All cool but video is about just removing stuff, what about creating fully up to date ISO ? With all updates ? Guide for that will be nice :)

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

I was preparing my laptop for resale, but got stuck at the point where Win11 wants me to log into my Microsoft account to continue. I don’t want to do that because I am selling the laptop. What can I do?

[@corel965]

1. Click "I don't have Internet" 2. Create ISO again with Rufus and thick box which says "Remove requirement for an online Microsoft account"

[@arindammukhopadhyay4359]

Britec, please show how to put Nvidia Graphic Driver, Motherboard Chipset/LAN/ driver and Creative Titanium Driver in this ISO using PowerISO or any other tools and make this Bootable alongwith Autorun for those Drivers.

[@corel965]

Pull drivers from your system and then put them in destination folder Drivers->win11->x64

[@cypher0124]

i started playing with NTlite but i think in my first pass didnt remove enough.

[@Britec09]

It takes a while to get it right

[@mickeyg7219]

You can couple it with schneegan autounattend file generator for completeness, as some features in NTlite are exclusive to paid version.

[@cypher0124]

@@Britec09 your video actually made me just decide to buy the premium license for NTlite Home use.

[@knutblaise9437]

Do you have any videos showing how to get your valid Win10 license upgraded to Win11 when the PC Health Check app states the hardware is not compatible? In my particular case the only thing preventing an upgrade is the CPU generation. I think 8th gen is required and I have a 6th gen that runs Win10 as the host that concurrently runs two VMs - one Win11 and the other Win10 - that is 3 Windows operating systems running at the same time including Win11 on a CPU MS says is incapable of running Win11. If you don't have a video for getting the Win10 to Win11 upgrade to work do you have any videos showing how to create a Windows 11 ISO which allows for the installation of Win11 on a machine which MS deems as incompatible. I'm looking for a method other than putting the installation in "lab" mode which I had to do for the Win11 VM. I would be OK with purchasing a Win11 license if I must vs having to trash a working computer in 16 months when Wiin10 is no longer supported. This no upgrade path nonsense is literally going to create millions of kilograms of e-waste. Also, I looked into the Win11 IOT product. Not for sure but you may need to be an OEM producing products like POS units to even be allowed to purchase those licenses so I’d want to create a Win11 Home/Win11 Pro ISO. Thanks!

What does ISO mean? ISO is used in digital cameras also; it replaced ASA which was for film speed in film cameras.

[@karlia_mc]

ISO (International Organization for Standardization), 9660 is the ISO number for the ECMA-119 optical disc media file system.

[@Robert-sl7jo]

@@karlia_mc In digital cameras, it replaces ASA which stood for film speed or sensitivity like 25, 64, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 400 and 1,000 ASA was the highest film speed in 35mm when I switched to digital which in my Canon G5X Mark II goes from 125 ASA to 12,800 ASA or as used now, ISO.

@@corel965 Eventually, I installed Zorin OS 17.1 which is a Linux distro. The installation was very fast with no external drivers needed. Zorin is very Windows in it look and feel. The only thing is that the third party software I use do not have a Linux version so a work around is needed. Other then that, Zorin is awesome!!!

I used this tutorial some 10 months ago. Unfortunately, we create and delete everything unnecessary from Windows 11 for nothing. As soon as you do the Windows 11 update, everything goes back to the old way.
