    Hello... I have this Dell laptop Dell Inspiron 11 3162 which has a 32GB eMMC drive, the problem with this type of drive is you can't install anything and half the time you need to do a re-installment of windows whenever a newer version is available. I'm curious if there is a slim windows version available and it doesn't have to be supported, even if it's an older version of Windows 7, 8.1, 10 or whatever. Thanks

    Windows Embedded Standard 7 or Windows Embedded POSReady 7 if you want to go really old.

    Otherwise try Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. No major feature upgrades and 10 years of security and bug fix updates only.

    First off thank you for this. I don't even know what those are but I was able to download a iso for the 7 embedded and a toolkit . How does one go about installing this type of version?

    Same as any other, nothing is really different, not from the perspective of the user anyway.

    You can add SSD (2nd storage upgrade) and memory ram is maybe.. I suggest try put 2nd SSD 1TB or 512GB and then you can use 32GB as cache or temp files?

    I know it's not suggested to use homebrew ISO but tiny10 did the work for my 64gb emmc Intel Z laptop
    Its based on LTSC 2021 so you'll need KMS_VL_ALL to activate it
