The only executable included is oscdimg.exe, which is provided in the Windows ADK and it +s used to create bootable ISO images. Also included is an unattended answer file, which is used to bypass the MS account on OOBE and to deploy the image with the /compact flag. +It's open-source, so feel free to add or remove anything you want! Feedback is also much appreciated. + +As of now, only build 2262.525 (the one that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website) and 22621.1255 (the latest public build) are supported. + +Instructions: +1. Download Windows 11 22621.1255 from UUPDump or 22621.525 from the Microsoft website (https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11) +2. Mount the downloaded ISO image using Windows Explorer. +3. For .1255, run tiny11 builder as admininstrator. For .525, use the aply-named script (also as administrator) +4. Select the drive letter where the image is mounted (only the letter, no colon (:)) +5. Select the SKU that you want the image to be based. +6. Sit back and relax :) +7. When the image is completed, you will see it in the folder where the script was extracted, with the name tiny11.iso + +And that's pretty much it! + +Known issues: +1. Microsoft Teams (personal) and Cortana are still here. If you find a way to remove them before I find one, feel free to help! +2. Although Edge is removed, the icon and a ghost of its taskbar pin are still available. Also, there are some remaints in the Settings. But the app in itself is deleted. +3. The script is rather unflexible, as in only the builds specified can be modified. This is because with each new build Microsoft also updates the inbox apps included. + + +Once again, if you have any proposals on how to fix these issues, feel free to help! + +
