We’ve all been there: you have decided to give tiny10/tiny11 a try, but you are confused about all the variants and names and links and whatnot.
Let’s fix that! In this article you’ll find everything that you need to know about every available tiny10 and tiny11 build, complete with official links and for whom is every build made.
THE LATEST RELEASES
Tiny11 2311 – tiny11 2311 : Microsoft/NTDEV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
This is the latest release of tiny11, which is fully serviceable and updateable.
It is designed for anyone who wants to try Windows 11, without all the excessive fluff of a standard installation. What’s best is the fact that if you need any component from the standard Windows 11 that isn’t included with tiny11, you can easily install it back using Winget or Add Optional Features or Microsoft Store.
Tiny11 core beta 1 – tiny11 core beta 1 : NTDEV, Microsoft : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
This is a more “back to the basics” approach to making a smaller Windows image, having a lot of components removed, including Windows Component Store and Windows Defender.
It is NOT a replacement for tiny11! It has a different purpose: to be a quick-and-dirty testbed or development platform.
Also, make sure to download network drivers BEFORE installing tiny11 core, as it doesn’t have any network drivers integrated by default
Tiny10 23H2 (x64) – tiny10 23H2 : NTDEV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
This is the latest tiny10 release for x64 machines, based on Windows 10 LTSC 2021.
It is for everyone who needs a really lightweight yet still dependable operating system, being fully serviceable while still being able to run on low end hardware.
Tiny10 2303 x86 – Tiny10 : NTDEV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Tiny10 2303 was released exclusively for x86 (32-bit) devices, and it is an ideal option for very old or low end devices that deserve to get a new breath of life.
LEGACY BUILDS
If you’re wondering about tiny11 23H2, it has been discontinued due to a bug that prevented it from being serviceable, which kind of defeated the purpose of the release. It has been replaced by tiny11 2311, as shown above
The original tiny11 builds- tiny11 : NTDEV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Tiny11 b1 (b standing for beta) was released in February 2023 and has been a smashing success. However, it has been superseded by tiny11 core, having similar functionality while being based on the new 23H2 platform.
Tiny11 b2 (no sysreq for bypassing the system requirements at setup time) has the full component store kept intact, and it has been superseded by tiny11 2311.
Legacy tiny10 builds – tiny10 – legacy builds : NTDEV/Microsoft : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
These are the builds of tiny10 that started it all, released way back in 2020. They are based on Windows 10 LTSC 2019, and are VERY barebones, tiny10 b3 being able to fit on a CD!
However, they are perfect for very old PCs and for experiments that require little amounts of space and processing power.
Tiny10 b3 is only for 32-bit systems, while b4 is only for x64.
Well, that’s pretty much it! These are the official links and that’s the current offering of
