In this video, I cover how to install Windows 11 without any of the preinstalled bloatware, as well as bypass any hardware restrictions and forced Microsoft account creation. https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder#tiny11builder To achieve this, I use a GitHub project called tiny11builder to create a streamlined Windows 11 image that strips out any preinstalled Microsoft software, and bypass any installation requirements. The project uses the official Windows 11 ISO and Microsoft build tools such as DISM, and anything that is removed, can be reinstalled from the Microsoft Store. Step 1. Download and Mount Windows 11 ISO. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11/ First, download the official Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft's website. On the download page, scroll down to the Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) section and select the Windows 11 (multi-edition ISO) option. Next, choose the product language, click Confirm and finally, click on the 64-bit Download button to begin the download. Once the download has finished, right click on the file and mount the disk image, as the next available drive letter. Step 2. Using tiny11builder. https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder Once the Windows 11 ISO is mounted, on the tiny11builder project page, click on the Code button at the top, and select the option to Download ZIP. Extract the downloaded archive and inside the tiny11builder-main subfolder, you will find three Windows Batch, a xml, md and an application called oscdimg.exe which is used to create bootable media. Since you have downloaded the official ISO directly from Microsoft, the script that needs to be run is the tiny11 creator 2261.525 one. Of course, in the future, there will be updated Windows 11 builds, so use some common sense, and select the script that corresponds to build of Windows 11 you have downloaded. In either case, to run the script, right click on the file, select Run as Administrator, and confirm the UAC prompt. The script will first ask you for the drive letter that the Windows 11 ISO is mounted at, and then copy the contents of the ISO file to your C drive or equivalent, and once the process has finished, prompt you to select what version of Windows 11 you wish to use. Once confirmed, the script will work its magic, which can take a while, so be patient, but after the process has finished, press any key to close the window. Now inside the tiny11builder-main folder, there will be a new tiny11 ISO file that can be used to create some installation media. Step 3. Installing Windows Tiny11. As normal, boot off the installation media created from the Windows Tiny 11 ISO, and you will be greeted by the Windows 11 installation wizard. First, choose the Language, Time, and Keyboard layout for the installation wizard, and then accept the licence agreement. Next, choose the hard drive that Windows should be installed on, which depending on your hardware, might take a while. In either case, once installation has finished, your machine should reboot automatically and start the Windows user creation wizard. So, first, select your Country or Region and Keyboard layout. And then your username, password and security questions. Finally, you will asked some telemetry options, which I typically select no to. Once all of this done, Windows will create your user profile, which can take a couple of minutes, after which you will see the de-bloated Windows 11 desktop. A couple of things to note, Microsoft Edge has been removed, however there will still be a shortcut on both the desktop and taskbar, which can be safely removed. Of course, this also means that there will be no web browser preinstalled, so you will need to install one before you access the Internet. Microsoft Teams has also not been removed, so you still need to uninstall this manually, but with the exception of that single application, welcome to a working installation of Windows 11 without any bloatware. #windows11 #bloatware #removal Social Media Links Discord - https://discord.gg/3SxGk3WG2D Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Intelligent-Gaming-101640054531594 Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@Intelligentgaming Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelligentGaming2020/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/inspectorgecko
