    FYI,

    Here is my test on Oracle VirtualBox. I have run plain LTSC, tiny 25H2 and SunLion's SD11 25H2,

    1. LTSC.vdi 14.3 GB. NOT active
    2. tiny11core.vdi 9.7 GB. NOT active
    3. tiny11 25H2.vdi 21.2 GB. NOT active
    4. SD11 25H2.vdi 12.5 GB. activated. <-- best.
    at full functionality, SunLion's SD11 25H2 (26200.6584) is best. (while I wish smaller size)

    Every thing shared for the benefit of people is said with a big "Thank you for the good work"
    I'll try it when I have time.

    There's no problem even with 4G. Taking 26H1 as an example, the System32 folder root has over 4000 files. For ordinary individual users, without considering update issues, only about 2300 files are usually used.

    I personally tested these tools on 25H2 and had no problems. Regarding the script from balanadi: I tested it, and it's also a good script. But personally, I have one problem with it: I can't process the Remove.txt file; it keeps saying “access denied”. I haven't found a solution yet, but I'm working on it...

    25H2 HAS SAME FEATURES AS 24H2 ..ONLY 1GB EXTRA IN SIZE ... SO I DO NOT FIND IT USEFULL////

    If you use my script there are few differences :

    a. if you use full image 26100.1742 Home edition the result will not be the same as described because your image contain also Professional edition , so the result will be double in size with same functions

    b. if you use already created 26100.1742 Home Single edition with my previous script , the result will be the one described in the script ...half in size, smooth and it will be 24H2 26100.7171

    Just to clarify the usage of the script..

    I did already last night 26100.7269 Home but the size with all the new features increases a lot and i will not do it anymore , cause it is still to slow compare with 19045.6575 Windows 10 22H2 ...which will be my main system for a while ...

    Yes, of course I can, sent it to you in a PM. Tested it, it's fine. Except for the work of the script with the Remove.txt file. Perhaps I have already “washed my eyes” on this script and I simply do not see the problem why the Remove.txt file is not processed? I will be very grateful for your help!
