Use NTLite to eliminate fat in Windows 11 installation
At the beginning of the week, we looked at the latest Rufus, which makes it a breeze to build a bootable Windows 11 disk that can bypass system requirements. Okay, now it’s another image burning tool, NTLite, Which will not only follow suit, but also allows you to remove some Windows 11 components that you will never use, making the installation smaller and more compact.
NTLite is a very powerful tool, although this powerful feature does come with the price that it is not as easy to use as Rufus. With it, you can remove elements from your Windows 11 installation, but you can also use it to burn images that also have the latest Windows updates installed.
The downside is that you can’t just throw Windows 11 ISO On the tool. Instead, you need to extract the file from the ISO and then point NTLite to the file. If you want to know, just installing the ISO is not enough, because you need write access to actually operate the installation.
However, once you have a writable image, NTLite will provide amazing control. For example, you can delete drivers for devices that you know you will never use, or it may be more useful to delete some default applications that you accidentally open.You can get rid of Microsoft Edge and replace it with Google Chrome If that is your business.
If you only want to remove the requirements for TPM 2.0 and SecureBoot, then you will find the option to turn them off in the “Settings”> “System” menu. It is located under the option to ignore storage and RAM requirements.
Although there is no easy-to-follow tutorial on how to use NTLite to remove trash from Windows 11, this tutorial explains how Reduce the size of your Windows 10 installation As low as 700MB. Obviously, there are some specific differences, but you should be able to follow this to get rid of some garbage.
