Windows 10/11 to windows 7 speeds

[2013]

I still install windows 7 on older spec PC, I was wondering if its possible to improve windows 10/11 or slim down to get windows 7 speeds ?

How far should you go when slimming down windows 10 or 11 ?
Has anyone slimmed down windows before and to what depth ?
is it possible to get a local option without paying ? most of the time I dont connect to new installs to the net unless needed.
Does the christitus tool work better than Tiny10/11

Yes it's possible but you'll run into the same problems MS have with Windows. It's a house of cards so if you remove anything there's a chance that something else, seemingly unrelated, will break.

Personally i wouldn't touch a 3rd party trimmed down version of windows such as Tiny10/Tiny11 because you have to trust they've not done anything nefarious.

If you really want to go down the install a modified version route rather than simply modifying an already installed version and creating a backup image then I'd suggest using an ISO you've downloaded from MS and using a third-party program/script like MSMG toolkit or similar to modify the install.wim

Would NTlite do the same job or is it one the above ?
This maybe be a good option, when installing windows on a new drive or when needed to do a fresh install.

Only thing I can think of would be to look at a 3rd party trimmed down version of windows such as Tiny10/Tiny11.

I believe the idea is they have a lot of features disabled/removed, helping resource requirements so in theory should provide better performance.

Ive heard of this but never used it ?

You could install Windows 11 normally and then use something like the tool below to disable\remove stuff

saves using third party iso's that you have no idea what has been done to it or if your up for it make your own ISO using MSMG tool kit

ive used the christitus tool before but only to do the basics, most due to the fear of breaking something. ive never used the msmgtool

This is what I've been doing recently last few times I've reinstalled Win10 / 11. I run Chris's terminal script to use winutil so you never have to download the exe either.

Works great and saves a ton of time having to make custom ISO's

Do you normally just select one option and go or do you customise the setting by selection the options yourself ?
is it possible to get a local option without paying ? most of the time I dont connect to new installs to the net unless needed.

I messed around with this a while back
Looked interesting
Though needs more playbooks
Though recommend testing on vm or second drive
Before commiting anything to your main os
and of course have backups as always

Did they not come out with a custom OS, I assume MS had a word.
