The biggest worry here, though, is that Tiny11 is clearly less secure than Windows 11. We’re not suggesting that Tiny11 is doing anything nefarious, of course, but the point is we can’t really be sure what’s been done to the operating system here – and even with a legitimate project carried out in good faith, there’s always the possibility there could be unintentional hiccups. The catch is that you have to trust the developer hasn’t done anything shady, as in the past, some of these kinds of projects have been carriers for spyware or other even worse malware.
Note that this isn’t a pirate thing: you still need a valid license key to run the operating system, just as with normal Windows. What is Tiny11 exactly, then? Basically, a DIY project where the dev has tinkered and produced their own Windows 11 ISO – with a ton of stuff stripped out – that you can download to install this ‘lite’ version of the OS. As mentioned, the operating system is very much pared-down with Tiny11, so you get core apps like Calculator, Notepad, and Paint, but Microsoft Edge, for example, has been ditched.Īnalysis: Security concerns are the main stumbling block
