- To download the Tiny11 ISO for Windows 11 25H2, first download the ISO file from the official Microsoft support website.
- Then, you need to use the Tiny11 Builder script to remove unwanted apps, such as Edge, OneDrive, and Xbox, and set up a local account.
- This process creates a custom, debloated Windows 11 ISO ready for a clean install.
- These instructions were tested in April 2026 and remain accurate.
If you want a clean installation of Windows 11 25H2 without bloatware and with support for a local account, you can use Tiny11 Builder to create a custom ISO file stripped of unnecessary apps and features. In this guide, you’ll learn how to build debloated installation media using this tool.
What is Tiny11 Builder?
“Tiny11 Builder” is a third-party script developed by community user @NTDEV to customize and streamline Windows 11 installation media. It modifies an official base Windows 11 ISO to remove most default apps and services, making the system lighter, faster, and less cluttered.
This modified image is often referred to as “Windows 11 Tiny ISO,” “Tiny11 ISO,” or “Windows 11 Lite ISO.”
The tool can automatically remove apps, such as Clipchamp, News, Weather, Xbox, Get Help, Media Player, Quick Assist, OneDrive, Copilot, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, and even Microsoft Edge. In addition to app removal, the tool includes an unattended answer file that allows you to bypass the Microsoft account requirement and create a local account during setup. It also uses the “compact” deployment flag to reduce the size of the final installation.
Why use Tiny11 Builder?
Windows 11 has steadily been adding more features and preinstalled apps with each update, many of which aren’t essential for every user. Tiny11 Builder gives you full control to create a customized and slimmed-down version of the operating system tailored to your specific needs.
It’s ideal for advanced users who prefer local accounts, minimal installations for performance or testing, virtual machines, older hardware setups, or those with privacy concerns.
The script’s creator also offers preconfigured ISO files you can download directly without running the script. The latest images have been updated with the November 2025 Security Update.
In this guide, I will show you how to download and create a Tiny11 ISO (Lite ISO) for Windows 11 25H2 in two ways. The first method outlines steps using the latest official ISO file from the Microsoft download page, and the second method outlines steps using the latest image generated by the UUP Dump script. The difference is that the UUP Dump script lets you download the most up-to-date version of the operating system, whereas the official download page is usually updated only a few times a year.

Also, ensure your device has sufficient free space for the script to process the files without issues or delays. Typically, the computer requires approximately 70 GB of free space on the primary drive.
Once you have the ISO file, you can mount it in a virtual machine or use tools like Rufus and Ventoy to create a bootable USB media.
Pureinfotech’s Take
Tiny11 Builder sits in a gray area that perfectly reflects what a segment of advanced users has wanted for years, including a cleaner, faster, and less opinionated version of Windows 11. By stripping out bundled apps, services, and online account requirements, it delivers a streamlined experience that feels closer to how Windows used to be.
At the same time, this level of modification comes with real trade-offs. Removing components such as Microsoft Edge, OneDrive, and the Microsoft Store, as well as security features in some configurations, can affect system stability, app compatibility, and long-term update behavior. It’s not an officially supported configuration, and that matters for security and reliability over time.
Where Tiny11 Builder makes the most sense is in controlled environments. Testing, virtual machines, lab setups, or older hardware that struggles with the full Windows 11 footprint are all valid use cases. It’s less about replacing Windows 11 and more about customizing it for specific needs.
For everyday users, however, the standard Windows 11 installation remains the safer and more complete option. Microsoft continues to tightly integrate security, AI features, and cloud services into the core experience, and removing them can limit what the system is designed to do.
Bottom line, Tiny11 Builder is a powerful customization tool, but it is best treated as a specialized solution rather than a mainstream alternative.
