Nano11
nano11 aims to automatically build a lite version of Windows 11 images.Its ISO file is only 2.8GB, which only occupies about 7.5GB after installation. The script only uses DISM built-in features and the official oscdimg.exe (automatic download) to create bootable ISO images without any external binaries. The built-in unattended answer file helps bypass Microsoft account requirements during installation and enables thin installation by default. It's open-source, so feel free to modify and tweak it to suit your needs!
This is an extremely experimental script designed to quickly build a simple development and test platform. It removes all components as much as possible to minimize resource footprint, including Windows Component Store (WinSxS), core services, and more.
The resulting operating system is not maintainable. That means youYou can't add languages, drivers, or features, and you can't receive Windows updates。 itOnly for test, development, or embedded applications in virtual machines that need to minimize static environments。

Nano 11 vs Tiny 11 comparison
The Nano 11 and Tiny 11 are both developed by reducing the size of non-essential features. Among them, Nano 11 is the ultimate in performance fine-tuning, making it ideal for older PCs, VMs, and embedded systems.
Compared to Tiny 11, Tiny 11 is a system that can be used for daily use and can be maintained, and deleted components can still be made up through winget or Microsoft Store. The Nano 11, on the other hand, is extremely lightweight, further removing system services and security features such as Windows Update and Windows Defender, and can no longer be installed back.
