- A Custom Windows 11 Building, Tiny11 Builder, Removes Bloatware and is available to install on older hardware
- Microsoft’s Windows 10 reaches its end on October 14 without more official support
- Tiny11 is available via a script on GitHub
It’s almost the end of the road for Windows 10, where Microsoft removes support for the popular OS in favor of Windows 11 from October 14. It is not good for systems that do not meet the Windows 11 requirements, but there is a solution.
As reported by our friends on Toms Hardware, a custom lightweight Windows 11Build (via a script), Tiny11 Builder, available on GitHub of NTDEVLABS, is designed for older and less powerful hardware (regardless of system requirements), with its latest release, eliminating a significant part of Windows 11’s Bloatware, ready for Windows 11 25H2.
Features and applications such as OneDrive, Office Hub, Edge and Outlook are all removed under ‘Tiny11maker’, which is the common recommended script, which you can see in Surfsharacady’s YouTube video below.
The new release also introduces ‘Tiny11coremaker’, described as a ‘quick and dirty development testing bed’ that removes a wider extent of bloatware, but without the ability to update or add features after creation.
This is a huge benefit to current Windows 11 users like myself because of the frustrating experience of background processes that pamper game performance, and also for users migrating from Windows 10. Your laptop or PC doesn’t have to meet Windows 11’s system requirements to run Tiny11, so it’s a great option before Windows 10’s death.
It has also arrived at an ideal time in front of the new ‘full screen experience’ via the Xbox app, which will be launched with ROG Xbox Ally, which will later come to other devices in 2026.
Analysis: This sounds perfect to my stationary rich
I can’t count how many pre-installed apps and features are on my Windows 11 game PC that I don’t use, or hardly remember is present and it alone tells me that Windows 11 has a significant amount of unnecessary bloating.
Tiny11 seems like one -way ticket to solve it, and is something I am considering using. Don’t get me wrong, I would switch to Bazzite in heartbeat if there was better NVIDIA GPU functionality, but as it says, it seems to remove unnecessary background processes such as the sensible measure to take to optimize Windows 11.
Tiny11 should also be clear and functional for Windows 11’s new 25H2 update, and here it hopes it doesn’t come with a bundle of problems as 24h2 did.
It’s great to see alternatives like this, and I hope the new full-screen Xbox experience that Microsoft is delivering follows in Tiny11’s footsteps.
