Recommended Windows Lightweight System Downloads

Recommended Downloads for Lightweight Windows Systems

Many people around the world create lightweight Windows systems by removing features and plugins they consider unnecessary. This helps reduce the installation package size while improving system smoothness and stability.

I recommend using the lightweight systems created by the developer @不忘初心 (Never Forget the Original Intent). The most stripped-down Windows 10 installation image has been compressed to just 960MB, which is truly impressive.

@不忘初心 uses Windows 10 or Windows 11 LTSC versions as the base for system trimming, and simplifies the OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) process after installation using XML configuration files, making the entire installation process unattended.

The system environment optimizations are also noticeable, with various redundant features removed.

In my actual tests, after installing Windows 10 (960MB version), the C drive occupied 6GB. When using the WIMBoot boot mode, the C drive usage dropped to just 2GB.

However, I still cannot guarantee that this system will run absolutely stably. Therefore, I recommend installing it only in a virtual machine. Using a smaller system image can speed up installation and reduce disk space usage.
