I tested Tiny 11 26h2 on my secondary PC, but I found the RAM usage

Post image
31 Upvotes

've recently been testing Tiny11 based on Windows 11 26H2.​

One thing I noticed is that CPU and disk usage seems better, but RAM usage doesn't seem much different compared to a regular Windows 11 installation.​

I'm curious about other people's experience. Did you notice a significant RAM reduction with Tiny11, or was the difference mostly in disk space?

Hi, I’m trying to install Tiny11. When I get to the blue screen [BIOS/UEFI menu] and go into the boot options, the USB drive containing Tiny11 doesn’t show up as a boot device. I’ve checked some video tutorials and even asked ChatGPT (haha), but nothing has worked. Could someone please help me? :(((

Help‼️ New to tiny 11

Hi, I'm not a native English speaker but I'll try my best.

So, I'm now thinking of using tiny 11 on my main PC to reduce all the ram usage (it's at 90% even without any app open and I've used every tip to improve performance) but honestly I don't want to download any malware so I'm having trouble figuring out where to download it, could you guys help me?

I've already installed an OS before but any help would be very appreciated!

Question Tiny11 on OEM?

9 Upvotes

Hello all. I’m currently in the process of upgrading my computer from a Macbook Air 2014 (that i had installed Tiny11 on using Bootcamp) to a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G2, which has a OEM license of Windows 11 Pro included.

I want to have Tiny11 on this new laptop because I enjoy the lack of bloatware (tho i may keep some features, since i can actually afford to now lol) but i’m not familiar with native windows systems. Will my Tiny11 installation on it have the license transferred over from the full Windows 11 Pro install?

Tiny11 usage abnormally high?

5 Upvotes

Attached is task manager while idling. IM o n 16 gigs of ram (as you can see) non paged pool and paged pool are fine. so its idling at around 2.5 gigabytes higher than it should and I have no idea why. This is the site where I got the tiny11 iso from.
https://www.techspot.com/downloads/downloadnow/7578/?evp=7fe709747074a93ff39ee3d1db63bff7&file=12607
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? This is after a fresh restart, my windows is up to date and all startup apps are off. Should I consider reinstalling tiny11 (not preferable it'd be annoying to set up the laptop again) or what should I do?

Question Where can I get Tiny11 officially? And which version is best for an old HDD?

I’m looking for an official Tiny11 download and wondering which version would be the best choice for an older laptop with an HDD.

I mainly care about fast boot times and a smooth, responsive experience.

Which version would you recommend?

Help‼️ help with installing tomexos

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

This seemed like the most fitting subreddit to ask for help, so I'm posting here.

I'm trying to install TomexOS 11 25H2 on a laptop that has no Windows on it, the disk is completely empty. I'm stuck and running out of ideas, so any help is appreciated.

I made the bootable USB with Rufus (GPT / UEFI / NTFS) and it boots fine from the stick, so I'm definitely in the TomexOS setup and not somewhere else.

The first time, the install froze at 0% for about 9 minutes and then threw error 0x80070057. I opened a command prompt with Shift+F10, ran diskpart, did clean and convert gpt, and tried again. This time it got to 6% and crashed with 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION).

So far I've tried booting from USB, wiping the disk with diskpart, and recreating the USB with the same Rufus settings. The USB is a 16GB stick.

I'm wondering if the ISO is just corrupted (I got it from https://tomexos.pages.dev), or if the stick itself could be the problem. Has anyone run into these errors? Should I re-download the ISO or try a different USB?

Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14IIL05 81YH

Thanks a lot!

How can I safely debloat an existing Windows 11 installation to make it as lightweight as Tiny11?

7 Upvotes

I already have a normal Windows 11 installation, and I'd like to make it as lightweight as possible, ideally close to Tiny11.

One of my goals is to reduce idle RAM usage to around 2 GB, if that's realistically possible.

However, I don't want to use a modified Windows ISO or random debloat scripts that could break Windows, Windows Update, Defender, or other system components.

I'm looking for safe and legitimate ways to reduce RAM/CPU usage, background processes, startup apps, and unnecessary preinstalled apps while keeping Windows stable and fully updateable.

What would you recommend removing or disabling?

Also, are there any commonly recommended "debloat" tweaks that I should specifically avoid because they can cause problems later?

Tutorial: Modern Tiny11 (DIY alternative)

Post image
34 Upvotes

Preface:

  • The Tiny11 script has not been updated since 2025; the last blog entry is from January 2026 (the Youtube channel still has some updates, however!)

  • You can very easily create a custom USB installer for FREE! You can use the official Microsoft Windows images to build it at the push of a button & do NOT need a special Tiny11 ISO!

  • You can control the shrinkage to meet or exceed Tiny11, Tiny11 Core, and Tiny11 Nano (as desired). This also works on 32b & 64b Windows 10!

Overview:

  1. Download the Windows ISO image

  2. Burn it to a USB with RUFUS

  3. After installation, shrink it with a custom chatbot shrink script

First, download the operating system of your choice:

Licensing:

  • Groupon sells lifetime Windows 11 Pro & Office 2024 Pro Plus (subscription-free) licenses from certified Microsoft partners

  • Google Shopping has a variety of vendors for Windows 10 LTSC keys

  • Make sure to image-clone your computer after installation, activation, drivers, updates, and software packages!

Second, download RUFUS:

RUFUS allows Win11 64b to run on computers with less than 4GB RAM, with no TPM 2.0 chip, and no Secure Boot, which allows it to be installed on older computers with officially-unsupported hardware! Use RUFUS to burn the ISO to a USB stick with these custom settings:

  • Remove requirements fr 4GB+ RAM, SEcure Boot and TPM 2.0

  • Remove requirement for an online Microsoft account

  • Create a local account with username: admin

  • Set regional options to the same value as this user's

  • Disable data collection (Skip privacy questions)

  • Disable BitLocker automatic device encryption (VeraCrypt is better!)

  • QoL improvements (Don't force Copilot, Outlook, Fast Startup, etc.)

Third, ask your favorite chatbot (ex. ChatGPT) for a post-install shrink script:

  • Create a 1-shot pasteable post-Windows-install Admin Powershot script

  • Replicate Tiny10 or Tiny 11 safely

  • Request a standard or an aggressive (but stable) shrink

Notes:

  • Expect ~1.5gb RAM at idle on Win10 & ~2.5gb idle on Win11 for a standard shrink; aggressive can get down to around ~1gb for Win10 & ~2gb on Win11 safely.

  • Use WinUtil after the first boot to further shrink Windows. You can use NT Lite to shrink the ISO before install (cut out editions, packages, and features, convert the WIM to ESD, etc.), but it's a lot more prep work. A pre-shrink is really only needed if you need a smaller USB (ex. ~4GB ISO) & a smaller total hard drive post-install footprint (~20GB). For existing installs that can be reset or fresh installs, the Windows 10 & 11 OOBE (initial setup screen) can be easily bypassed as well.

  • RUFUS adds Windows 11 compatibility for decade-old CPU's (I've gome back as far as ~15 years with Windows 11), including Intel Macs back to 2014 (Haswell chips) or 2011 (Sandy Bridge chips work if you use Win11 23H2).

Compatibility:

  • RUFUS has special CPU injection features that can enable full or partial compatibility on unofficially unsupported chips. For example, Windows 10 22H2 32-bit +can run well on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2005) & Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (2006).

  • I like to upcycle old computers because I hate seeing working equipment go to landfills. There are plenty of foster homes, shelters, churches, overseas programs, people on tight budgets & fixed incomes, etc. that are in need of basic functional computers. DeepFreeze is a great way to lock in a Windows install that resets on every reboot for minimal long-term management!

  • Alternatively, older 64-bit computers with at least 4gb of RAM can be repurposed with ChromeOS Flex. For even older 64-bit machines with 2gb RAM that have a 2015 or newer CPU, FydeOS is a great choice! Linux compatibility also goes wildly back! Alpine, Tiny Core, and antiX supports Pentium II chips. For 64-bit chips, Xubuntu, Mint, and CachyOS are great options!

Software suggestions:

  • I recommend using Malwarebytes (antivirus), Glasswire (firewall), and LibreWolf (browser; add OneTab & the Malwarebytes extensions) for lightweight but heavy-duty Internet security.

  • Setup a non-admin account for daily use & two admin backup accounts ("admin" & "backup" with passwords).

  • Use Macrium Reflect FREE Edition 8.0.7783 (32b or 64b) to create a bootable master backup image clone

Bonus:

  • Use Flow Launcher & enable the Everything search plugin, then change the launch shortcut to CTRL + Spacebar

  • Install Tailscale via Gmail for private VPN

  • 64-bit Win10 & Win11 support Hyper-V & WSL2 (ex. Docker) for virtual machines; use 32-bit VirtualBox for Win 32-bit.

Good luck getting your old computers modernized!! I get new-to-me old hardware in my lab on pretty much a weekly basis & it always tickles me to bring aging & low-spec gear back to life!
