Today we're setting up Windows 11. Now,
I saw a recent Linus Tech Tips video,
which I'm going to refer to here, and
I'll actually leave a link to Linus'
video. Uh, the method he used was just
kind of a tried andrue older method, a
little slower than what I'm going to
show today. Uh, quite a bit slower
compared to what we're going to be
doing. Uh he did have a fantastic tip at
the end of that video which talked about
auto unattended uh XML files and how it
would automatically bypass all the stuff
during the install. That is essentially
what we're doing and uh I'm picking all
that information for you. So this is
going to be very easy. First off,
download Windows 11. Now in his video he
talks about using the installation
assistant. Don't do that. About a year
ago, Microsoft introduced ISO direct
downloads. Just select the edition you
want. Click download now. Select your
language and then just click download.
This is the easiest way to download ISOs
directly from microsoft.com. Here's the
link right there at the top of the page.
Download your ISO and we're off and
going. Always get the official Microsoft
ISO and then you can launch into my
utility. Now the Windows utility has
been around for over gez going almost
six years now. Actually 5 years and some
change. We have almost 8 million
downloads and over 200 contributors. Uh
I'm constantly working in this every
single week. Uh latest update was just
uh this past week and I'm about to
release another update. Usually I look
at this at a bare minimum once a week
and update it at least usually once a
month. So a lot of time and effort has
put in this both me and many
contributors over the years. And I'm
going to address the first first comment
I know I'm going to hear on this thing
and that is just use Linux. And a lot of
uh my audience uses Linux and a lot of
it uses Windows or some both. Um and
it's kind of funny because on the
contributors note a lot of the
contributors that have come and gone
over the years, well frankly they just
stopped using Windows and they do move
to Linux eventually. Uh and I've noticed
that kind of happen like OG Merc. I
haven't seen too many PRs from him. He
still pops on Windows every once in a
while, but I know he's primarily a Linux
user now. And uh I was talking to Martin
as well. He's done a lot of poll
requests and now he has moved to Linux
as well and he still does PRs and he did
a lot of updates this past month. But
it's kind of funny to see the es and
flows over the years and and it's good
to see that back and forth. Know that
Linux is an option, but it's not a Linux
video. So, I just thought I'd make a
little footnote here for you. So, first
uh launch it. You can either launch it
directly using the PowerShell method
where you just copy this command and
paste that into a terminal or PowerShell
with admin and then it will launch the
utility. Or if you want, you can donate
directly and buy the $10. There's a
little link probably down below you
could use as well if you want an
executable. Both methods give you the
same thing. And this version is free.
Just thought I'd mention it. This does
help support the project though. So now
that we launch it, I want you to come
over to Microwin. And in Microwin,
there's a couple different options.
There's this download OCSD
img.exe from the ctt GitHub repo. Man,
that's a
mouthful. Essentially, this is using
Windows ADK, which is a deployment kit
from Microsoft. That's this guy right
here. Now, you can download and install
this directly from Microsoft. The only
reason I download that one executable
from my repo is I've copied it from the
ADK and it's only like a couple hundred
kilobytes where this entire ADK is I
think about 2 gigs. So it might save you
some time, but if it does fail, you can
always just manually install the recent
Windows ADK should something change in
the future. Everything I'm showing you
is open source and directly from
Microsoft. So we'll uncheck that and you
can say get automatically the ISO and
hit download. It'll try and download it
directly from Microsoft. But since we
already have our own ISO, we'll go ahead
and select that. Now upon loading the
ISO in your prompt that you used to
launch or it launched directly from the
executable in this case, uh you'll see
all this information in the background.
You know when it's done because you'll
be presented with this screen down on
the bottom. This whole section right
here is not filled in automatically.
This is actually blanked out until you
load the ISO. So, it does take some time
to mount and load this. I just wanted to
show all the manual methods first. Now,
a couple things here. Inject drivers.
This is if you know how to manually load
drivers. Most people watching this video
will not, so I recommend unchecking
this. This is the instructions for using
the download or the injection of the
drivers right here. just for advanced
users. For today though, we're just
going to import drivers for the current
system. And we're going to also include
Vert IO drivers. So, we can use this in
a virtual machine or if we just directly
reinstall this through a USB drive like
you're probably going to do. I would
just say, hey, if it's using the same
system, just just use the drivers here.
And that way, when you reinstall, you
don't have to go and hunt and find
drivers from the manufacturers's website
or install custom tools. I'll show that
a little bit, but for the most part,
just click this and we're off and
running. Uh, now the custom user
settings. I'm going to just put my
username as subscribe and blank the
password. I want my system to autolog in
and just throw me on a desktop. Now, in
Linus' video, he did talk about the out
of-box experience or OB. Uh, we're going
to be skipping all of that. Uh, we're
going to just be doing all auto
unattended XML. Now, as I've said at the
very beginning, thousands of installs,
all I did with my autoended is pick sane
defaults that Microsoft should choose
when installing the system instead of
all the bloat and garbage that they toss
on a modern system. I kind of rewind the
clock and how Windows 7 was when you
installed it directly from Microsoft,
that's how I made Windows 11. No system
settings are removed. Everything is
stock. So that means Microsoft Store is
there, Defender's there, all the stuff
is there just at sane defaults. It's not
going to be sitting there prompting you
all the time. So let's start the
process. We're going to name this micro
win. And then I'm going to date this 65
uh 2025. And this is going to go ahead
and make that ISO. This will take some
time. Usually on a good system, this
will take about 10 to 15 minutes to
build out. So, let's give it a whirl.
Right now, in the lower right here, you
can see it is 1:47 my time, and we'll
see how long this takes on my system.
Now, during this process, you'll notice
certain things being removed from the
system. Old school internet explorer
which is still used a little bit uh
throughout uh certain um things like
co-pilot also are removed by default and
uh one drive and many other features
that kind of just bloat up a new system
are also being removed. Uh many of the
provisional downloads, alarms, and most
Microsoft Store apps are also removed
during this section. Meaning you have to
kind of pick everything as it is.
Instead of having all these junk apps,
as I'd call them, because most people do
not use them, uh I would recommend just
picking your own, which we'll go into.
Now, in Linus' video, he used Nightight,
which is kind of an older tool I used
about 10 15 years ago. Uh these days I
use Windgit uh with my toolbox which uh
on reboot you'll see the cool thing
about my utility is it runs once and
then after you close it it's not
installed on your system meaning every
time you run it it has to basically go
out to the internet see if there's an
update and then launch and then that's
it. It just runs in current memory and
as soon as you close it it's gone. And
that's how I think most programs in
Windows should work, especially programs
that go and get drivers and fix things
up. So, uh, we're about 5 minutes in, a
little over 5 minutes now, and, uh, it
should be close to finishing up. You
should notice that this method does work
a little faster than Intite and many
other ISO tools out there. We did a lot
with actually multi-threading and and
getting and kind of pushing what's
available in these Windows tools. Uh
this does use dism and many other
built-in Microsoft tools with your
system. So we're not using any external
uh executables. Everything is directly
from Microsoft. And that's kind of how I
like to keep it as these are the tools
we use in business. Also, another
notable thing that happens, there are
certain registry tweaks we do. In Linus'
video, he touched on disabling TPM and
other uh older bypasses. All that's done
by default. And frankly, if you didn't
and weren't using my utility, Rufus has
those built into them as well. Since my
tool is doing all of those on stock
defaults, because why wouldn't you?
There's kind of no point in them even
existing. Uh that's just this the stock
setting. So no matter what system you're
installing, you don't ever have to worry
about customizing TPM or removing any of
these uh artificial limits from like a
processor or anything like that. All
that's done by default. So you can use
this ISO on any
system. All right, there we go. just a
little hair over um 10 minutes for the
whole creation of ISO, but that includes
all our customization, all our drivers,
all the modifications you could possibly
want on a stock image of Windows
directly for Microsoft. So, now that we
have the ISO located right here on our
desktop, we're going to open up Rufus
and write this to our USB drive. Now, to
download Rufus, you can get it directly
from their website,
rufus.ie, or you can click install from
the Windows utility. Either way is fine.
Uh, go ahead and launch this utility and
then select your USB drive. Select your
ISO from the desktop. It'll say standard Windows
Windows
installation. Do not put Windows to go.
That would be very bad. And then go
through. All right, we're good. We're
good. Uh, one thing, it might prompt you
for any Windows 11 setup customizations
like removing TPM or any of those. We
already took care of all that because we
have our own autoattended on this ISO.
So we don't need to do any of that. So
we'll just click start. So uncheck all
of that. Remove requirement for
Microsoft account. Remove TPM. Uh create
all this. This is essentially an
unattended which microw comes with
directly. So we would just hit okay and
then write it to the disk and then we're
going to reboot our system and start the install
install
process. All
right. Now in the actual installation,
you're going to notice a couple things.
is you're going to have less options
here. So, we're just going to go next.
Next, agree to delete everything. Next,
we're going to say don't have product
key and then select your unallocated
space or delete any partitions that are
there. Just know you will erase
everything on the drive. So, be careful
with this. And we're just going to hit
next and install. Now, the beauty of
this is it will go out and install
everything. So, you shouldn't have to
have any more things to the desktop from
this point forward. Let's see. All
right, here comes the first reboot. That
took about two and a half minutes for
the full install on my system. Now, I do
anticipate this going through. Now,
normally in in uh stock directly from
Microsoft, this is where it kind of
starts bloating the system up. And
really, what it's doing here is
installing the drivers for the system
that we already preloaded. We're going
to get one reboot here usually, and then
it'll sit there and kind of set up the
desktop for you. And here we go. Roughly
about five minutes start to finish from
when we hit next. Uh that last one and
we got the blue screen. Uh we'll let
this finish getting ready. I'll show you
like. All right. And this is our
desktop. You notice not too much is
going on here. We have one quick little
install we do with microw at the end.
And this is pretty plain Jane. You still
have the store, you still have Defender,
you still have all your regular
security, but just a base local account.
Everything else can be set up and
customized from here. First thing I
always do on a fresh install is come
into device manager. Look for any
missing devices. As you see, since we
imported all our drivers, they're all
right here. So, this is looking good.
The next thing I always do on any new
operating system install is go back into
settings, go down to Windows update.
From Windows update, hit check for
updates just to verify that you got all
your updates in here. This is another
thing I like to do uh on any system
because before you start bloating it up
or anything like that, you do that. And
as you see, hey, yeah, there's still
some updates here even though we just
downloaded this ISO. It's just the
nature of Windows. All right, now that
we have all our drivers are installed,
we double checked that we did all our
updates. Now, let's install some stuff
on there. As we see, we got a really
good starting point for our system.
Instead of night, we're just going to
launch into the toolbox. Since I don't
have the executable or anything here,
we're just going to do it through
PowerShell. And the beauty of doing it
this method as well is Windgit will
manage the the program. So you can autod
do like a mass upgrade of all the
programs that gets installed this
method. It's just a better way of
installing and managing your packages in
Windows. So let's say you pick your
browsers, pick your communication.
You're going to grab Git, go ahead and
grab it. uh document viewers if you want
to grab any of these. You can see it's
very expansive and we're always adding
and changing things in here as uh things
get uh added to Windgit, but pretty much
everything is here that you need and
it's a vast selection. Now, one thing I
will note, let's say you're having
problems finding certain drivers for
your system, which happens all the time,
I do recommend Snappy uh driver utility.
So, if you look here, we go to s snappy
driver installer or you can just type
snappy and grab it here. Let's clear
that out. So, now we have brave get and
snappy driver install utility all
selected. And then we're just going to
say install and upgrade. And it'll go
through and install these three
programs. You want to see kind of a
selection of hey, what else is doing in
the background? Should go through and
install and update these. And once uh
wind gets updated, which it'll do
automatically, it'll go ahead and start
installing our applications. And there's
all our installs. So, automatically
installed all of those guys. So, next
thing and the last thing I want to leave
you with here is just a couple standard
things. So, I usually just say standard.
Look through here if there's anything I
like to change on top of it. Um, if you
do debloat edge, that's for people that
don't use edge typically. If you do use
Edge, you probably don't want to debloat
it because uh it will limit uh some of
the changes because there's a lot of
telemetry built into Edge, meaning they
phone home to Microsoft all the time. If
you're okay with that, that's fine, but
don't just click all these and get
crazy. Other big things I like to do is
I'm not a big fan of notification trays,
but it will disable the calendar, so
don't just go crazy. Uh, I always set
classic right-click menu. So, I really
enjoy the old right-click menu from
Windows 10 and before. So, I always put
that. If I'm dual booting Linux, I
always enable UTC since Microsoft's a
little bit crazy. A lot of times they
default to local time, which is held on
the computer itself instead of a
standard time like UTC and every other
operating system in the world uses UTC
except for Windows.
And then the rest of this I kind of
leave. Um, one drive doesn't get
installed with micro, so you don't need
to remove it if you have Razer devices
and you don't want to use Razer stuff.
Again, the big thing here is this guy
right here on your tray. The idea here
is don't have it full of crap. That's
the biggest thing we do. Like every
probably once or or twice every every
couple years, I'm reloading Windows. And
you don't want to bloat this up. You
don't want to install a bunch of
manufacturer applications that run all
the time. You don't want the ASUS army
crepe crap or MSI's uh giant driver
suite. All that stuff costs you because
it's constantly running. It's constantly
phoning home and it's constantly
checking for updates that probably will
never get anything and it's not worth
doing. So that's why I say this is what
you want to do. We'll hit run tweaks.
And for this one, I like to kind of come
to the command line here just to kind of
look exactly what's doing. It'll say
each step of the tweaks process. And
this just kind of cleans things up.
After like a big install, you might want
to rerun tweaks. Any kind of feature
update to Windows, you're going to re
want to rerun tweaks. But after this,
we're going to close out a utility.
We're not going to need it again.
Probably for 6 months to a year, unless
Microsoft drops a big update on us
tomorrow. But usually they don't they
save those big updates for maybe once or
twice every six months. Updates. A lot
of times I just grab security updates.
If I'm on pro, this is pro systems only.
This just kind of limits some of those
updates so it's not going to sit there
and constantly churn out updates. Uh it
just does more sane defaults. So we're
pretty much done here with this set of
the tweaks. Uh, other things I like to
do on the actual taskbar, I kind of
clean all these up. Just unpin, unpin,
search menu. I don't really like having
that. So, I go to taskbar settings,
search box, I hide, and then I kind of
like the old school on the left for my
tray icons. So, under task behavior, I
change from center to left. And h pretty
much everything else is stock. So, at
the end of the day, most systems I
configure look something like this.
Minimal start menu just with some of the
stuff I install, not loaded down with a
bunch of garbage. And from a performance
perspective, uh, usually about 120, 130
processes. Yeah. So, that's about par
for the course. This is not debloating.
It's not an extreme anything. It's just,
hey, Microsoft, this is what Windows
should look like. I shouldn't have to do
what I just
did. But again, Microsoft's lost lost
the plot. Or maybe maybe ah let's not
just do this or use Linux. I'm good with
either, but uh hopefully this helps you
out uh and and gives you a good spot so
you can have a good experience with
Windows because the stock experience is
just absolute garbage. And with that,
let me know what I forgot down in the
comments. And I'll see you in the next one.
