Microsoft’s decision to retire Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 has forced a reckoning for millions of aging PCs—and a surprising cottage-industry of community tooling has stepped forward to offer a practical, if imperfect, bridge: Tiny11 Builder, a PowerShell-driven project that creates...

NTDEV’s tiny11 project spawned a new contender: Nano11 — a community-made script that strips Windows 11 to the bone and, in one recent demonstration, produced an ISO file reported at just 2.28 GB and an installed system that was reduced to roughly 3.25 GB after aggressive compression and...

NTDEV’s Tiny11 already rewired how power users think about Windows 11; now a new set of community tools is taking that work even further — and raising fresh questions about safety, supportability, and the line between useful customization and outright breakage. The latest headline-grabber is a...
NTDEV’s new Nano11 Builder takes the Windows‑11 debloat movement from pragmatic trimming to experimental minimalism, producing bootable ISOs and installed images measured in single‑digit gigabytes by surgically removing inbox apps, servicing infrastructure, and even parts of the Windows...
NTDEV’s community ecosystem has produced yet another extreme take on Windows 11: nano11, a script-driven rebuilder that pares a stock Windows 11 image down to astonishingly small sizes — an ISO reportedly just over 2 GB and an installed footprint under 3 GB when combined with compression — by...
NTDEV’s ecosystem of third‑party builders has a new, headline‑grabbing member: nano11, a PowerShell‑driven script that pushes the tiny‑Windows idea to its limits by producing an ultra‑small Windows 11 image — the developer says an ISO a little over 2 GB and runnable installs in the sub‑3 GB...
A new, community-driven take on Windows 11 is rapidly gaining attention: Tiny11’s updated builder promises to strip large swathes of preinstalled software from Windows images, produce dramatically smaller ISOs that can run on older or otherwise unsupported hardware, and even block many of...
Tiny11 is the latest reminder that the Windows upgrade debate has moved far beyond marketing slogans: while Microsoft insists many older PCs are unsupported for Windows 11, independent projects like NTDEV’s Tiny11 are actively proving the opposite — and forcing a much more uncomfortable...

If there’s one thing Apple hates more than a dirty screen, it’s giving users too much freedom. For years, the iPad has been promoted as the tool to replace your laptop—provided, of course, you don’t want it to actually behave like a laptop. While fans of the fruit company have begged for the...
