Streamlining Windows 11 with Tiny11 Core Builder
While the latest iteration of Microsoft’s operating system, Windows 11 24H2, brings various enhancements, it still demands a significant amount of disk space. This can be particularly challenging for users attempting to install the OS on unsupported hardware, leading some to question the necessity of certain components. Fortunately, a solution is now available.
The Introduction of Tiny11 Core Builder
NTDEV, the developer behind the well-known Tiny11 project—designed to reduce the footprint of Windows 10 and 11—has recently updated the Tiny11 Core Builder. This innovative tool acts as a script that allows users to remove a considerable number of elements from the standard Windows 11 installation image, resulting in a highly minimized system setup.
The creator describes Tiny11 Core as a “quick and dirty development testbed”perfect for unconventional applications, such as running Windows 11 on devices like the iPhone 15 Pro.
Better late than never! Tiny11core maker has been updated to finally support 24H2. Apologies for the delay and thank you for sticking around supporting the project. Let me know how it goes!

Is Tiny11 Core Right for You?
It’s important to note that Tiny11 Core is not intended for everyday use. If you’re seeking a streamlined Windows 11 installation for routine tasks, especially on unsupported computers or devices with limited SSD space, this version may not be suitable. Tiny11 Core lacks serviceability—meaning it’s not possible to update it or add extra components after installation. Instead, users must carefully select the required features during the setup process, resulting in a minimal system that occupies only 3GB of disk space.
For Everyday Use: Tiny11 Builder
For those who desire a more user-friendly experience that can accommodate daily computing needs, the standard Tiny11 Builder is recommended. This version seamlessly integrates with Microsoft’s latest 24H2 release, ensuring a smoother user experience.
Accessing Tiny11 Resources
You can download the most recent Tiny11 scripts directly from the GitHub repository. As an open-source project, it invites community contributions and feedback, but proceed with caution when working with modified operating system images to avoid potential risks.
