Tiny11’s free update strips down Windows 11 for Windows 10 fans

The article discusses Tiny11, a free update that strips down Windows 11 for Windows 10 users. As the end of support for Windows 10 approaches, Tiny11 offers an alternative for those who don't want to deal with the bloat or telemetry of the full Windows 11 experience. The Tiny11 Builder takes a Windows 11 ISO, removes various built-in apps, telemetry, and ads, leaving a more streamlined version of the operating system. This allows users to transition to Windows 11 while maintaining the features they care about, such as security updates and patches. The developer is also working on better controls over which apps to remove. The article notes that while Tiny11 removes a significant number of Windows apps, it may still face challenges with Microsoft attempting to restore certain features. Overall, Tiny11 provides a free option for Windows 10 users who want to move to Windows 11 without the perceived downsides of the full version.
