For context, Windows 10 dominates the market share with a staggering 62.79%. However, it's worth mentioning that Windows 11 is rapidly gaining traction as Windows 10's imminent death edges closer, prompting users to purchase newer PCs that support Windows 11.
Interestingly, an industrious developer, NTDEV created Tiny11 — a lightweight version of Windows 11 designed to run on old PCs that don't meet Windows 11's strict system requirements. The program scales down Windows 11's 20GB install size to less than 4GB of RAM.
Over the past few weeks, several users have taken to social media to express their concern over Windows 11’s big 2024 update taking a long time to install . The issue could potentially be attributed to the update's large size. However, Tiny11 might have a "hassle-free" alternative.
NTDEV recently shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Microsoft's Windows 11 2024 update works with Tiny11 ISO builder. Tiny11 scales down Windows 11, version 24H2 install size, allowing it to fit inside a DVD.
As shared on NTDEV's post on X, the developer managed to clean install Windows 11 24H2 based on Tiny11. For context, the developer managed to chop the big update's install size down to 3.54GB using LZX compression.
This is quite an impressive feat considering the standard Windows 11 would ordinarily eat up 20 to 30GB of your storage. At under 4GB, you could install the software on a DVD drive and remain with additional storage.
Tiny11 is a third-party tool that allows users to clean install Windows 11 on their devices without extra services and apps that they don't necessarily need.
It worth noting that the experience could potentially ship with its fair share of setbacks, including blue screen errors, system instability, and data loss. You also risk not getting updates from Microsoft since they are not supported on your system or even "bricking" your device.
If you ever wanted a smaller version of Windows 11 that only takes up 20GB of storage and runs on less than 4GB of RAM, Tiny11 is your go-to choice. View Deal
