windows 10 in 700mb

@terenet the smallest size I got with NTLite in version 1909 without compromising important features and without integrating .NET 3.5 was 771 MB for ISO and 662 MB for install.esd. To get less than that I would have to remove support for printers, VPN, mobile internet (4G) among other things. With windows 8.1 I believe it is possible to get less than 700 MB but with windows 10 I think it is very difficult or requires a lot of knowledge.

But the size of the ISO does not make the slightest difference in performance what matters is the services running in the background so with an ISO of 800 MB or 900 MB you will not notice any differences.

Search for "ivankehayov" in piratebay. Your last ISO which is based on LTSC 2019 is around 900 MB and appears to be very stable. In addition he is a known member here on the forum.

 

I use it on my personal PC and laptop and It works. It's just that you'll have to do a lot things manually f.e installing drivers/apps.

 

@ivankehayov uses the same username here on the forum.

 

Notice how the operating system is increasing in size with each version release!!! What is MS doing?

 

With 20H2 Installing in audit mode, sysprepping and capturing, adds a good amount of MBs to the wim.

 

@terenet: had you ever try to 'clone' the life edition you talk about to an internal (or even external) HDD?

I never did that with a 'life' Windows, just with some life Linux and most of them worked that way. Life versions are bootable, so it may work for Windows too.

 

@ivankehayov, Twinkle Twinkle little car, How I wonder where you are!!!....... I am wishing a 20H2 October v2 win 10 lite OS with size as low as 1GB, No compatibility or hardware support compromised and Start Menu structure ""NOT Collapsed""" please make this for me .......

Live not life

 

So it can be fit on a cd

 

And after install you can complain on a daily base about the crap it turned out to be

 

You can fit 800MB on a CD if you burn in MODE2/FORM1-2352 Byte format. Use quality media as there are less cyclic redundancy checks (error detection and correction) when burned that way. MODE1 uses 2048 Bytes and is good for 703MB.

 

You can try with NTLite to create lite version of Windows 10 based on one of next editions to fit on CD-ROM:

- Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC

I remember that Microsoft announced somewhere in 2018 that Windows 10 Lean edition, a lite variant of OS optimized for limited storages was planned to be released as a part of October 2018 Update, but I think that edition is cancelled in the meantime.

 

Last branch that mentioned Lean (CloudE SKU) was 18363 (1909).

The current license files have the following SKU listed: "Win 10 RTM Lite" (Lite SKU). Who knows?

 

If you could get the preset they used, that would be great.

 

Hello! Does the ltsc version need to be activated? I was hearing that the desktop background will turn black and a persistent desktop notification that the system is not genuine, and the computer will shut down every hour. Is this correct? I have never had such a version before. I'd like to try ivankehayov's light version , that's why I'm asking.

 

Of course it needs to be activated, like every Windows 10 SKU distributed commercially by MS. Officially, you will need a Volume contract, but KMS and MAS (search for "masasgravel github") will work, too.

 

@ivankehayov please make a lite version of windows 10 home / pro .

 

Does Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC x64 v2106 lite (ivankehayov) update automatically? If so, how can I stop this?
