The most responsible path is to use the "Tiny11 Builder" script with an official ISO, which gives you the performance benefits while retaining control and transparency over the process. For casual users needing to revive an old PC, the official, supported, and far more secure Windows 11 LTSC is a vastly better choice. Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.1105 Lite Superlite...
Simple: Starting with 23H2, Microsoft integrated "Windows Subsystem for Android" and "Copilot" deep into the kernel. Attempting to remove these in a Superlite mod often results in a BSOD (Critical Process Died). Furthermore, 23H2 introduced mandatory Pluton security checks that cause stuttering on older CPUs.
