Avast ye landlubbers! If ye be yearnin' to sail the seas o' Windows 11 on yer trusty ol' vessel, fear not! Ye can now condense the mighty OS to a mere 100 leagues! Shiver me timbers, 'tis a grand feat indeed!
NTDEV, the team behind the Tiny11, has managed to compress Windows 11 down to a mere 100MB. However, don't get too excited about running this version of Microsoft's operating software, as it's quite bare-bones. To achieve such a small size, they had to remove many familiar features and reduce it to a text-only version.In a YouTube video shared by NTDEV, you can see what the compressed Windows 11 looks like. The usual graphical user interface (GUI) is gone, replaced by a black background and white text, reminiscent of the old command-line operating system DOS.
With no windows, no colorful greeting screen, and no desktop, users must type in commands to perform tasks, just like in the command-line app of older PCs. There are also no pre-installed apps, so Microsoft Paint is out of the question.
While this compressed version of Windows 11 is not meant for everyday use, it could be an interesting project for those who want to revive newer versions of Windows on older computers. It also serves as a reminder of how far computing has come since the 1980s.
However, for most people, the convenience of modern Windows with its user-friendly interface and pre-installed apps is preferred. This compressed version is more of a proof of concept than a practical solution for daily computer use. So, while it's cool to see, I'll stick with my Windows that actually has windows!
