Purpose:

Sep 19, 2014 Some have asked for an updated guide for Windows 10, thus I would like to share my latest experiment with slimming down Windows 10 and the steps I took to get it working. Purpose: Create a small functional image to be used for a fast virtual machine which can run most Windows Desktop applications, using minimal memory and minimal HD space. Windows ISO file: RTM or Download version of Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1; NTLite with at least the Home license, after trying out the free version (it cannot remove as much as the licensed one) Preparations. Preferably, create a Virtual Machine as a Host for NTlite with the full version of the target OS. For example Windows 8 Pro 32 bit. Download Microsoft Windows 8.1 Lite Edition ISO – ISORIVER. This means that Windows 10 enables users to show their creativity in the arranging and formatting of the start menu with a style. With the Hibernate, Standby, Restart, and Shutdown the users can also rearrange the position according to the wants. Download Windows 8.1 ISO File Highly Compressed:- Hi guys in this post I am going to tell you How to Download Windows 8.1 ISO File Highly Compressed only 10 MB.When we go Microsoft official site to download the ISO file of Windows 8.1, then we are unable to.

Software Name: Windows 8.1 Lite; Setup Size: 700MB; Compatibility: Compatible with both 32 bit. Tags: windows 8.1 lite free downloadwindows 8.1 lite x64 isowindows 8.1 lite x86. The most relevant program for Windows 8 lite iso download is Windows 10 Pro VL x64 ISO. Get a free download for Operating systems software in the.

Make a small CD sized image to be used for a fast virtual machine which runs most Windows Desktop applications, can be updated with Windows Update, using minimal memory and minimal HD space.
This is not a general guide, but just the steps I documented for my own needs, which may prove helpful to others who want to accomplish something similar. Its mostly for Windows 8, but also applies to Windows 7. Where there are differences, this is noted. (My steps & descriptions are very concise and without pictures, so this may not work as a beginners guide, but you can find a nice one here.

System Requirements

  • Recent version of Parallels (version 10) on a recent version of OS X (Yosemite) and 8 GB RAM (this will probably work similarly in VMware)
  • Windows ISO file: RTM or Download version of Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1
  • NTLite with at least the Home license, after trying out the free version (it cannot remove as much as the licensed one)

Preparations

  • Preferably, create a Virtual Machine as a Host for NTlite with the full version of the target OS
    • for example Windows 8 Pro 32 bit
    • assign at least 2GB memory for the OS hosting NTlite
  • Install NTlite on the Host
    • use HWlist, if targeting the OS for other hardware
  • Download Windows 8.1 ISO from Microsoft (this includes a lot of recent updates already) or use RTM/MSDN ISO
    • Official downloads for Windows 7 SP1 are available here with an (unused?!) product key. Iso images can be also be found on MSDN; and by looking up for example en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677056.iso with a hash of SHA1: D89937DF3A9BC2EC1A1486195FD308CD3DADE928 (Google: ‘mydigitallife MSDN Windows 7’)
  • Extract contents to a folder on the Desktop, for example ‘Windows8Pro’

NTlite Settings

  • Toolbar – Add – Image Folder – select ‘Windows8Pro’: to select the OS source
  • For Windows 8.1, let NTlite convert the compressed .esd to a .wim
    • Backup this folder for re-use later for example Windows8ProForNTlite
    • Add this folder as the source
  • Toolbar – Load: Load Windows 8.1 Pro from install.wim (wait a minute…)
  • In Components:
    • Toolbar – Compatibility: select things you want to keep working…
      • Printing
      • Recommended All
      • USB support
      • Windows Update
      • Host Machine (or HWlist)
    • Toolbar – Expand All – Uncheck All: now only the absolute minimum is selected to be installed
    • Add to that the following, by checking what you need:
      • Application Compatibility! (needed for a lot of older applications)
      • Media – high definition audio device (both)
        • wdmaudio (if not already selected)
      • Floppy Disk Support (otherwise Device Manager will have an unassigned Device from Parallels)
      • Group Policy Client & Local Security Policy (useful for changing some otherwise inaccessible settings)
      • Wallpapers (Default)
      • Internet Explorer client
      • optional: Accessories – Mouse pointers
      • optional: add ‘Time Service’ (did not work in Windows 8.1, but OK in Windows 7)
      • Win7: Desktop Window Manager (for Audio and Network Connections to work – may get fixed in later NTlite version)
    • No need to add Metro (almost all settings can be done elsewhere)
  • In Features:
    • Internet Explorer is enabled
  • In Updates – Integrate Update Packages:
    • Automatically using the NTLite (v1.7+) with the Download Updates function, more info here
    • Or manually:
      • To find out relevant Update packages, you should first make an NTlited install without integrated updates
        • then run Windows Update and make a list of all important Security Updates by KB number
      • Download the relevant updates based on the list created in the first step
        • manually from Microsoft Download Center (search by KB number) or some other tool
    • Integrate relevant updates
  • In Tweaks:
    • optional: modify ‘Services’ according to Black Viper Safe list usually a few dozen changes

    • Toolbar – check Save changes to image
    • Toolbar – keep check on Backup Log & Backup preset

    • Toolbar – check Create ISO image: Save to outside of the VM and name it something meaningful (Windows_8.1_Pro_32bit_en_US_NTLite4.iso)
    • In Source – Toolbar – Save – Preset name: for example Win8NTlite4

Installation in Parallels VM:

  • Creating new Users in a Group
    • fast user switching
    • Create an account via an Administrator command shell cmd.exe:
      • net user /add useraccountname mypassword
      • net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add
  • Even with Metro disabled, Metro IE is installed
    • Metro IE will not load any pages
    • On full screen “Here is Start” will not disappear
  • cannot change account picture (due to Metro not being installed)
  • generally: if nothing from .Net is installed, Event Viewer will not work
  • some errors will show up in Event Monitor, not all of which have been explored by me

Conclusions after testing:

  • Saves a lot of space for each VM, usually only 2.5 to 3.5 GB per VM even with installed updates & applications
    • whereas a regular VM with Win7 or Win8 easily takes up 8 to 20 GB and keeps on growing
  • Win8 Lite is more responsive and almost as fast as a Windows XP VM
  • used Process Explorer to check memory usage, which is between 200 and 300 MB after idling for 5 minutes (about half of a regular install)
  • Device Manager shows no errors
  • Network, Sound and all built in desktop applications incl. Administrative Settings work
  • .Net Framework 3.5 or 4.5 can be installed later, if needed
  • most desktop applications will install and run smoothly
  • tested Firefox, Quicken, Bibleworks, etc.
