Hey man, i just downloaded the ultra slim version because its lighter on the drive.
And i really like it
But i have a request for an even slimmer verion if that is possible, as i want to use it as a VM image where i do not need calculator, system backups, restore, etc.
Is it possible to remove even more stuff from the newest build?
Specially i am thinking about removing:
clock
calendar
calculator
slimmest icon pack
browser and AV downloaders
Gadgets
Photos (keep photo viewer with metro skin as it looks reallly good)
Startisback
Adobe Flash
Cortana full delete (not only disable)
All backup, restore, drive encryption
But keeping security updates and windows defender
I know i ask for a lot, but is that possible?
if so, could you maybe build a version like this, really stripped down to only use in VM? i think you could also remove almost all drivers except for vmware.
Unfortunately i dont know much about stripping the iso.. i have tried in the past but it always ended up unusable, not installing or not even booting
Hmm sorry io can not edit this anymore..
i have just looked through the menu of LTSB running in the VM atm.
There are things which also aren't really needed:
character map
math input panel
paint
steps recorder
wordpad
administrative tools like defrag, print management, disk cleanup
everything ease of access
but keep snipping tools and notepad
As i just read it it sounds pretty tough, can yaou tell me if this is realistic?
