siliconbeaver yes Windows 10 and x86 can work for a lot of people in a lot of scenarios and use cases. The biggest limiting factor for an x86 install is going to be the 4GB of RAM ceiling and whether there are x86 builds of Windows applications still available that are suitable. For example -- a lot of browsers no longer offer an x86 version, and while you can run older, smaller faster builds available from many older build hosting services -- these are often full of security holes and compatibility issues with how websites are built today. Fortunately there are still good choices, they just may not be the pet favorite someone was exposed to using on a more capable system. This can be a good thing as well, forcing the User of a 4GB, x86 constrained system to think more carefully about the software they choose -- there are options just all of them require some compromises to balance features, compatibility and performance with a 4GB x86 hardware target.
Good explanation of the subject! I'll try to include that information. I still need to figure out how I'll do it. Let's see... Best regards,
===================== SD10_Renewed_1.63 ===================== Updated to 1904x.7548 - Added new code to identify ISO images for selection (thanks to @mustafa gotr) - Folder layout modified - Various minor modifications implemented In this version, two new scripts were created: 1 - SD10_Custom_x.xx.cmd 2 - SD10_Default_x.xx.cmd The Custom script allows the user to apply the offered customizations at their discretion. The Default script does not contain any customization options. The folders below are for personal tweaks (in both scripts): - PersonalTweaks\BAT (.bat and .cmd files can be added) - PersonalTweaks\REG (only .reg file can be added) These tweaks will be applied during RunOnceEx In the package that is offered there are no tweaks to these folders. It's up to the user to add their own tweaks (optional) https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/slimdown10_v2-0-2-continued.88599/ Good luck!
@SunLion Minor request can you give an option to remove wordpad? I do this post script. dism /Image:C:\Mount /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:Microsoft.Windows.WordPad~~~~0.0.1.0
Go to DATA\Files, add to capabilities1.txt and capabilities2.txt: Microsoft.Windows.WordPad~~~~0.0.1.0
Thanks for the heads up, not sure why the entry is required in both text files though? perhaps @SunLion can clarify this?
I'll add that option too, but as a user choice. Best regards, Edited... Please test the scripts and report back with the results. Note: For the final version 1.64, I plan to add code from @mustafa gotr to improve the scripts. Best regards,
Capabilities1 used if you keep Media Player, Capabilities2 used if you remove it, so if you want to remove Wordpad in both scenarios you must add the line to both txt files.
@SunLion works perfectly, thank you NB:Should the inherent windows zip utility be disabled/removed, will this break OS at all?
As far as I know, this doesn't affect anything, provided you use a compatible utility like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
From what I can see, can only be done in a mounted registry, not a capability as such as it's built into explorer.
