Two things: Microsoft Licence and Updates: Re: Licences: I can not comment on Microsoft Licenses and how this impacts you. There are way too many variables and too many individual use cases. I installed this on a new machine and it picked up some strange version of Windows. I installed this in a VM and it was another. Same ISO file! I can tell that when you install Tiny 11 it technically has Win 11 Pro - but this changes when you log into your Microsoft account and depends on what you actually own and and and and. Do with this info as you will. Re: the Updates - so far I have had several Win 11 updates with no issues. It didn't bring back all the bloatware. Security updates also work fine.

[@bernardkint4130]

Hey Liron give ventoy; ventoy2disk formats the drive to appropriate settings then simply drag and drop to the larger drive or right click on the iso send to the appropriate drive

[@genewashington1592]

[@chrisjlocke]

2:05 - You can boot into a virtual hard drive (VHD file). You can install tiny 10 (or 11) into a VHD, then dual boot. Its a bit like dual booting, but less destructive. There is a program called virtual BCD Edit which edits the boot file Win 10 uses (as the main HDD is still booted from). This is a great way to load multiple operating systems easily - Windows Server, different copy of Win 10 for trying out programs, etc. They're all independent and don't hurt each other. Cool feature.

[@aladged]

Hi can you tell how to do that step by step please?

[@leorice2663]

Hey really cool trick, I have a laptop that was made with windows 8 in mind but has windows 10 installed on it, I can generally do my schoolwork, video editing and play a few games on low graphics settings, would this help increase all of these things you mentioned about gaming, so would this make it a bit easier to run slightly higher graphic settings?

[@tr4l1975]

Generally speaking the answer is yes. When disabling, turning of or outright removing stuff that's not used, it allows the device and associated programs/apps to run more efficiently. However, keep in mind that programs/apps are designed with the assumption that your device has the necessary operating system things installed to run them. If a 'lite' version of the OS is installed, some programs, may or may not continue to work properly.

[@YouriHL]

I have a small Lenovo workstation that I installed a scene release of Windows 10 on. It's powered by a Core i5-2400 with 8GB DDR3 (1333mhz lol). It's the Phoenix Lite10 OS. Works like a charm and we use that small pc in our bedroom watching Netflix and other streaming services. It's activated with a legitimate W10 key (which you can buy anywahere for under a dollar), so no harm done there. Oh, and it's fully updated as well.

[@JOEZEP54]

I saw this advertised before but like you said, " too good to...". Now that you show it I will give it a try. One question with this delete any files that are previously stored on the computer in the old operating system? Looks like I am not alone in appreciating this video 👍 # 568 Stay well, Joe Z

Awesome video!! I think I'll try this on my relatively new computer (2 years old, currently running Win 10). BTW, I read through the comments & replies, so am now aware that security updates are not a problem. However, I have one question: Will MS Office (.docx, .ppt, .xls etc) run smoothly on this? Can it even be installed?

[@k.b.tidwell]

You shouldn't have any problems of that nature whatsoever. I've been stripping stock Windows for a long while now using various methods, and doing these sorts of alterations doesn't affect how Windows actually runs your software...other than speeding it up. I've never had a problem anyway. Have fun!

Does this OS require a Windows KEY?

Hi Liron, thanks for sharing this Tiny thing. I've installed Tiny11 and overall it works properly. Just one small think related to Edge browser. Somehow the one that I installed from win store does not have Internet Explorer Mode. I have tried many advice available but none solves the issue. That makes my kid can't play Roblox since it always asking for internet explorer 6.0 or greater Would need your kind advice. Thank you.

My suggestion would be to install you preferred flavor of linux on an old pc . There are very light distributions that make your pc fly.

[@LironSegev]

why do Linux people think Linux is the solution for everything? There is a reason the Linux desktop market is not even 1%. It amazing for servers/ security but for the avg person, it is painful.

[@ddjazz]

@@LironSegev You are making a lot of assumptions , i am not a linux ppl and i never said linux is the answer to everything. I just said linux can perform great on old pcs which it does. btw my main pc runs w10 . Also in recent years a lot has been done to make linux more user friendly some even mimick a windows look and feel to help new users. I'm sure your your tip on tiny10 and tiny11 may also help a lot of users , struggling with bloated windows.

[@trevorbartram5473]

I'm on my third generation of Ubuntu on this low end PC (dual core, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD). Ubuntu found drivers for my display, keyboard/mouse, two optical drives, card reader & scanner, I was impressed. Ubuntu does everything I need: Libre for office work, Asunder for CD ripping & a document scanner. Version 20.04 is certainly slower than my original 16.04 but fast enough. SW updates occur weekly and painlessly. I'm staying with Ubuntu.

[@MichaelLloydMobile]

Excellent option for virtual machines.

[@ConfidentFitness]

I'm confused. Does doing this clean your computer, at the end you said you should do a backup before doing this. I thought installing and booting from a separate boot drive would have allowed you to keep all your files as is. And that booting with Tiny10 would use a partition of your drive maybe? I'm not that tech savy so I don't know. I was hoping I could keep everyhing as is, and then test out Tiny10 and begin working off of it if it was faster, and then I'd have to upload some key software I use. With my new SSD I should still be able to do video editing while running Tiny10?
