Developer NTDEV has demonstrated that Windows 10 in the form of Tiny10, a significantly slimmed down lightweight version of the operating system from Redmond, can be completely installed on a system in just 104 seconds. For this purpose, an even further optimized version of the mini operating system was used, which was thinned out to include any “bloatware”. The result was a “speedrun” of a slightly different kind and Windows 10 was installed on the computer system within 1:44 minutes, as the website Tom’s Hardware reports.

In addition to Tiny10, which as the name suggests is based on Windows 10, NTDEV also offers Tiny11 based on Windows 11. This developer continually surprises with sometimes adventurous projects and demonstrates how much a Windows installation image can be shrunk.
The miniature installations of Windows 10 and Windows 11 are generally not really suitable for everyday use, but as a pure feasibility study they are certainly exciting to follow. A complete installation of the basic operating system saves comparatively space and only takes up 5.2 GiBytes of memory.
