I read that Tiny 11 came with so few things that it even lacked a

was necessarily included.
However, I found Chrome already there on my version. So I immediately downloaded Firefox (God bless Firefox; I still love it).

Playing around with this Tiny 11 on Legacy hardware, it does seem to
be rather sprightly. I don't know just how stripped-down it is, but so
far I'd say "Good for old hardware".

Instead of installing something from a source that you know nothing
about, how about creating your own list of items that you want removed
when installing Windows 11 (or Windows 10). The easiest way is to
generate an "autounattend.xml" or "unattend.xml" and copy this file at
the root of your flash drive that you intent to bootup your system to
install Windows or to upgrade windows. There is no need to use any third
party malware infested tools or files. Not even Rufus is needed to
by-pass stringent requirement of Windows 11. I suggest use this link to generate your own ".xml" file that can be downloaded and copied at the
root of the flash drive (or DVD drive if you are still using it).

You can de-bloat Windows 11 at the time of installation and this means
remove almost anything that you don't need.

This is a XML file so it is pure text. No malware attached. like in some
binary files or scripts from unknown sites. Under the section "Remove bloatware" there is a button to check everything and fine tune the list
to your liking. You can create Users as well with their own passwords,
all at the same time without you having to do anything. You can by-pass
TPM requirement and also disk encryption that is a new feature in
Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2.

Go to the entire page and spend about 5 minutes to see what can be done
with the Windows requirements.

If you want to embed updates with the installation file then this can be
done but it requires some work. I can post instructions about this if
you want them.
