1. Check out "Windows 10 Keeps Getting Worse" Video for more about windows 10 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIQNr0mOCpg
   Here is how to convert install.ESD to install.wim in PowerShell
   DISM /Get-WimInfo /wimfile:install.esd
   Note: look for the version of windows you want – example: Windows 10 Pro – write the number down
   DISM /export-image /sourceimagefile:install.esd /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:install.wim
   Note: Look at the /sourceindex trigger, you need to change this number to the version of windows you found from the first command.

2. MSMG toolkit is more powerful for reducing Windows to the bare minimum, then once Windows is installed many other settings are needed in the registry and on the terminal, the Windows that can be modified best is 10 professional.

3. great video, subbed

4. how to get tghat images??

5. Why not use LTSC instead?

6. Then after that, how can i add my own apps that will come preinstalled in my custom windows Version

7. This still works?

8. dons this work for windows 11 too?

9. Windows 10 itself and 11 are spyware

10. U should do a 2024 version of this video

11. When I tried to load the install.wim file in win toolkit after converting it, it gave me a parameter error. Using "dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /CheckIntegrity /Compress:max" I was able to get the file converted properly and loaded in Wim tool kit. The .Ios installed but would fail to boot, loading to a black screen. I only removed "green" componenets. I even tried converting the install.wim back to an ESD, but it had to same outcome. Loads to black screen.

12. I'm on Win 10 64 22H2, and I just go to the directory (C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft) and delete all edge files. Only keep Edge web view as some games/launchers use it. Edge will come back, but rarely and then you can just delete it again lol.

13. Windows IS reliable…. you are off your rocker

14. Someone who doesnot blow up your mind with an awful music and a loud voice. Thanks for your great work.

15. Lol, I noticed you forgot to remove the other ten Windows 10 flavors (I.E Windows 10 Home, N, etc) in the WIM manager. If you do that, it always decreases the size of your overall WIM file.

16. <3

17. Tnks you a lot your are great and tnks for guide deabloading!

18. Does anyone know why my custom NTLite Win 11 Pro works in hyper V virtual machines but not when I try do a fresh/clean install. None of the settings work that I set. It doesn't detect my WIFI, so many drivers aren't installed. I spent so long on this. When I saw all my settings working in VM I thought I'd cracked it, but after try a clean install, for the tenth time, I realise no progress has been made, and I want to cry 🙁

19. In case anyone else might be having the same issue: I had to add two more paramters to the ESD 2 WIM Command:
    dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity

20. 😜

21. Question: how is it possible that I have here Windows 10 aND 11 that are only 1.3 GB instead of 5 GB … ? How Can I make this kind of ISO?

22. I've tried following the powershell steps in the description to create the .wim file. I keep getting incorrect perimeter when I try to open the install.wim file in Win Toolkit.
    I'm using a 22h2 iso. Anyone else had this issue / have a resolution?

23. can i create a custom windows 11 image

24. I like how you never explain how to use that powershell script, as if its not confusing with 2 lines and then yo usay add a version where do i fucking add it lol

25. It is easier to use LTSC ( :
    If not enough one can debloat that iso ( :

    One Love!

26. I've followed all your steps, i bought Ntlite too. But @ reboot, i select my usb and it doesn't install anything….

27. can u upload the .iso so we can download windows 10 without bloat

28. Plse do a vid to cut down win 10/11 for use as a host for virtual box etc
    Strip out everything that is not required
    Thanks

29. good job sir…
    🙂

30. Let's go ahead and stop saying "go ahead" in front of everything you are about to go ahead and do ahead of the time that you are going to go ahead and do it. 🙃

31. $40-60 is tooo much for people living outside UK, US, Canada and EU. Specially for Asian countries, it's TOOO MUCH !!!

32. There is a very real danger that custom versions we don't make ourselves might be dangerous. They might have remote access trojans and other nasty things in them that really don't belong on any computer really.

33. I must be doing something wrong here, I transfer the .esd to an .wim, when I open the WIM manager with the WinToolKit I always get "Error getting wim info, The parameter is incorrect". Do I need to put the install.wim back in the windows folder before proceeding?

34. You should do a 2022 version of this video

35. My main question would be how much disk space do a fresh install take? I want W10 on an old laptop and I'm not too concerned with memory usage since it has 16gigs but the drive I want to use is a 64 gigs mSATA, so I want to save as much space as possible to MY programs. I tried Windows 10 Pro DR Lite, and got a base system using about 20 gigs which is not too bad, but I heard Tiny10 can take as little as 10 gigs which sounds really cool to me, but couldn't get an ISO of that version to try. Customizing Windows sounds great but I want to know how much space you can save this way.

36. nice tool bro but this one include, Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen, and Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen, guys be aware

37. how are you supposed to receive zero day fixes if you delay your updates?

38. if you removed windows defender, what antivirus are you using that is less resource intensive than defender??
