Furthermore, I hate people who call basic utilities useless apps. 3D backgrounds and window effects are actually extremely efficient, and definitely not what’s taking up the 7GB. Oh come on, Memory is actually cheap, you can buy a 1TB SSD for $50. Posted in Software Hacks Tagged virtual machine, Windows 11 Post navigation If you don’t want to run Windows 11 on a Linux virtual machine, you can go the other way around. Downloading from is slow, though, so maybe try the torrent. However, we doubt it is a problem, and for a throwaway VM, it might be just the thing. Of course, you might be suspicious that something like this could be harvesting account data, and we can’t say if it is or isn’t. The “b1” version installed fine with the exact same configuration. We also couldn’t get the “b2” version installer to realize that the VirtualBox machine was able to handle Tiny11. Be sure to set up 2 CPUs in the virtual machine or the installer won’t like it. The operating system uses a local account by default, but you can log in with your Microsoft account if you wish. It also removes some compatibility checks, so it will run on machines with less memory - 2GB, for example - another plus for a virtual machine. The total install is under 7GB compared to over 20GB for a full retail install. It does, however, have the component installer and the Microsoft store, so you can add back things you want that aren’t in the default install. Besides being compressed, the installer, based on Window 11 Pro 22H2, removes sponsored applications and Teams. The installer requires you to activate Windows, so that’s probably a good thing from a legal standpoint. You can see a video about the project below.
We aren’t sure what the licensing aspects of it all mean, but there are a few things you need to know. The Tiny11 project provides a Windows 11 installer that strips and compresses a bare minimum system do under 8GB of space. If you often spin up a virtual machine just to run Windows, you might be sad that you have to allocate so much space for it.
