Hi there,

Are the debloat tools like Chris tool box, Tiny Windows etc. of any use or would break the OS like NTLite? They say on W11 news PC mag it consumes hardly 4 GB of memory??

Hoping to hear from the experts.

Thanks.

There are lots of folks who like screwing around with the OS and making it smaller. Personally, I never saw the need. IMO, if everything is working well, why mess with it?

You better NOT run clean-install on the computer.

You could have two choices
  1. Restore an image of other PC's W11 on to this computer than clean-install. (Please read my post of Lenovo 2 GB)
  2. Make your own SD11 (search mydigitallife) install media. A better way.
For choice#1, my OS size was about 15 GB. choice#2, my OS size was about 24-28 GB.
