This is a stripped down Windows 10 operating system based on Build 1511 – 10586 (also known as the November Update or TH2)
The minimum system requirements remain, as expected, the same, although this customized version of Windows should run faster than the original one, due to the number of changes made listed below.
This is the second build, the version that supports 32-bit CPUs
There is also the first build which is 64-bit on my profile.
– Removed Windows Media Player – Enabled Windows Photo Viewer to use instead of the metro “Photos” app, although pictures will open in Paint first, until the user changes the default app to Windows Photo Viewer
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN YOU GET TO THE “GET STARTED NOW” SCREEN, CHOOSE TO CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS, THEN DISABLE EVERYTHING TO LET WINDOWS WORK *** System Requirements • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor with NX/PAE SSE2 (if Windows 8 worked, this will work too) • RAM: 1 GB for 64-bit (only 512 MB theoretically required) • Hard Drive Space: 20 GB • Graphics Card: DirectX 9 or later Changes and Information (the most important ones, anyway): – Removed most Metro apps, excluding Edge, Store, and Calculator – Removed most non-essential drivers (such as graphics, printers, network) These will need to be downloaded and installed manually based on each computer’s specifications – Removed some accessibility features – Removed speech recognition and Cortana support – Removed Search (the search bar in Explorer now works) – Removed some accessibility features – Removed …
– Store games no longer work (I haven’t been able to figure out why)
– Disabled Hibernate – Disabled Page File – Removed Firewall (although in some cases it may appear when using a program and the service was not removed because it is essential) – Windows Update has not been removed yet, no guarantee it will work because I always disable it via services.msc (still need to have it enabled to install apps from the Store) – Store apps should work out of order…
