MSMG ToolKit

^^
Hehe I will tell you one thing: I will still find out how to install the dark theme of the W10 LTSC on W10 LTSB is missing little thing for me to kill the riddle lol

 

i aint even bothering with ltsc at the mo. had normal life stuff in the past few weeks and only had the workstation on twice, once for some audio stuff and tonight testing new software out. thats running w7 on i3 8300, tweaked of course and its sweet.

all my 7 8.1 and ltsc tweaks are in total s**t order and i cannae be arsed sorting it all out

 

serious !

 

serious tigs, i cant be bothered and i have enjoyed not having that machine on fora few weeks, that could carry on to weeks 3 and 4

 

After a lot of testing the theme I liked the most in 8.1 was the Windows 8 Release Preview Theme (RP Theme) and it was designed to be used with the aero effect so I use AeroGlass. And RP theme has some bugs in 8.1 but AeroGlass comes with a very similar theme and these bugs fixed. Over time you get used to the UI although I prefer a classic start menu.

 

Hmm well I have not yet had time to install my newest theme that I downloaded on Devianart and it is Abisso and reminds me a lot of the W10 LTSC after I install should I post, as well as suggestion give a search on Google and look for: Abisso theme still I follow you in this time NO remove Store using Toolkit v 8.8...

 

I removed with NTLite may be that with MSMG Toolkit you can remove without problems because for 8.1 is still used DISM and the method of removing packages.

2 Things I would like to see in Toolkit:

- Support for older versions of Windows (7 and 8.1) with the manual removing method.
- The option to remove Windows Update and the extra files that are kept in WinSxS for Windows Update compatibility. This greatly reduces the image size.

 

7 pro has something approaching 1gb of drivers, removing 3rd party drivers alone gives a good saving without touching os components. ripping out winsxs and hard links will save a fair bit. Nuhi gives you more options and i prefer his way.
I may have to test that igpu driver on 8.1 but ive got a big list and need tocatch up on a lot
