Thanks for this super useful tutorial!

Wow, this is great. Much more customisable than just installing the LTSC editions of Windows.

When creating a bootable USB most with newer hardware are better off using GPT instead of MBR. Otherwise u might get issues with UEFI etc.

Hey just wanting to let people know that might have the same problems as me:
In this vid he's extracting everything to desktop and in my case it caused crashing from the MSMG Toolkit and not being able to go through with the downloads on the WinReducer. I solved this by putting both install folders directly on the C:\ drive. Hope this helps, I will not be responding to comments for tech support.

i get an error at the top about the paging file disabled witch could badly affect the esd i get this on 3 different pcs win 11 an 10 home pro

Thank you for this quick and concise view of creating a debloated ISO for Windows 11. I really appreciate this from you. I'll be upgrading from Windows 7, finally, since it is getting to be very difficult to keep everything working and secure on Win7 now.

Thanks for sharing this, I was looking into this yesterday!

[gamesturbator]

The Winreducer folder has to be on the C drive or you will run into errors when you click "Download". But the MSMG cmd crashes whenever I choose Extract Source from either Store ESD or Custom ESE image. Bummer. I've spent hours trying to get this to work. I've lost all hope.

MSMG toolkit version 13.3 keep crashing from choosing extract source from MCT or custom
any suggestion how to fix this....thanks

[Plasticidad]

Use NTLlite (WinReducer ESD, dn´t wrk for me)

[CyberHak]

Best video I could find on this subject. Thanks mate :-)

[africkinspiffychannel]

at around 7:20 u say leave the rest alone. Question: I use the EUFI bios should I than enable EUFI compatibility to Boot Support and include this checkmark?
Thx for the help in advance!

[mrzazzaable]

is this free from manufacturer drivers and bios auto install? if not why bother

[gordthor]

The new version doesn't give me the same options where choosing source of ESD image. The first 5 options are the same, left with only the 6th option "Extract source from MTC or custom ESD image". When I select 6 it crashes and disappears instantly.

Grreat video! I would like to include additional programs to my custom ISO and have them automatically run after windows completes the installation. Is it best to use a scripts to accomplish this task?

[samskleibrok]

Great guide. This is going to help me out a ton. Thanks!

[TheStigma]

Really good guide, and super useful. Real shame this level of customization isn't just integrated in the OS installer.
Is there any convenient website resource that goes into more depth regarding each item though? Such as what removals may cause unexpected problems or can not be added easily later?

[lukejacobs]

Hi, great video! I have a question: After making my own .Iso I have issue's updating windows. The cumulative updates don't work. Not via settings, not manually. I tried all the steps on the internet like sfc scans etc. but nothing works... Any idea how to fix?

[MilanDuric-vo]

What is going on here? The title says 2024 guide, but the video is uploaded 2 years ago?!

[yeeg]

Have you even noticed that your implemented Update isn't working??
