elohelomg Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I recall some time ago i was able to grab a iso of windows 7 that was significantly smaller than a regular windows 7 iso, and included a ton of tweaks on it to increase overall performance. It was sort of like Tiny Wndows 7, but aero themes and what not worked by default.I would go through the steps of cutting down windows 7 myself, but god knows im too lazy. Any suggestions in regards to an optimized slimmed down version of windows 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Wait awhile, the creator of vLite is back working on a tool for Vista/7/8 that should do what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallucinojerk Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I installed that slimmed down Windows 7 before in my netbook but there was a lot of bugs. Services won't work here and there. Then I decided to go to just a normal size Windows 7 x86 and let the default run without optimizations and tweaks. Til then, it run just fine without any problems. Just stick with the default settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
