Here’s how to install and set up tiny11 ARM64 on a Raspberry Pi 4.
Install a standard Windows 10 ARM64 ISO from Microsoft (requires an Insider account). Then run debloating scripts:
The installation process is streamlined, and the "clean" desktop is a breath of fresh air for those who dislike Windows 10's modern clutter. Driver Support: tiny10 arm64
Result: Boot RAM drops from 2.2 GB to 1.1 GB.
: Most stable builds of Tiny10 rely on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel). This provides a fundamentally stable platform without frequent feature updates breaking modifications. Here’s how to install and set up tiny11
In the world of Windows optimization, few names carry as much weight as . Created by developer NTDEV, this modified version of Windows 10 has become legendary for stripping away bloatware, telemetry, and unnecessary components to create a lean, fast, and usable operating system for low-end PCs.
This article dives deep into the current state of Windows on ARM (WoA), the challenges of porting the Tiny10 philosophy to the ARM64 architecture, and the practical alternatives available today. Driver Support: Result: Boot RAM drops from 2
NTDEV released a "tiny11" for ARM64 in late 2023 as a for Patreon supporters. It has not been publicly released due to driver issues, but screenshots show an ARM64 VM running with 1.2 GB RAM and 8 GB storage. Keep an eye on NTDEV’s social channels.
Retains critical features like Windows Defender , BitLocker , PowerShell , and the Component Store (in later versions like 23H1), allowing for system updates.
Drastically reduces background tasks, bringing idle CPU usage close to 0% to 1% on low-power chips. Key Features and What is Removed
Tiny10 is a lightweight, stripped-down version of Windows 10 designed specifically to run on hardware with limited resources. While the standard version of Windows 10 has grown increasingly bloated over the years, requiring significant storage and RAM, Tiny10 removes non-essential components to provide a functional operating system for older or low-power devices. The emergence of the ARM64 version of Tiny10 marks a significant milestone, as it brings this efficiency to the rapidly growing world of ARM-based architecture, such as the Raspberry Pi and mobile-focused chips.
