Title: Windows Tiny 10
Post by: pakoman on April 08, 2022, 02:20:58 pm

Hi there.

Just knew about this stripped out version of Windows 10 that greatly reduces the RAM/storage requirements by removing non essential apps like Microsoft Store.

Haven't tried it, but should be really useful for a dedicated Windows 10 Groovymame system.

More stripped down than Windows 10 1507 LTSB, with all the telemetry crap and antivirus disabled?

I highly doubt that, but I'll do some searching at some point and see in a VM the RAM and HDD space difference.

I'm interested to see which one wins out.
Would be very helpful on 4 of my machines!

I personally use Windows 10 AME on my machine, it's also very stripped down. It's sort of tricky to set it up how you want, but once it's done it's all good. :laugh:

I installed this "windows tiny 10", crt emudriver, groovymame and attract mode. Working well, the system comes very clean and starts very fast. No more terrible windows updates and windows security getting in the way.
I've only encountered a few minor problems so far:
  - because it is the Win enterprise version, it was more difficult to activate it to remove the watermark that appears over time.
  - some attract mode themes don't work, like the "nevato theme", the wheels don't appear, probably missing some directx resource or something.
