## ⚠️ Script versions:
- **tiny11maker.ps1** : The regular script, which removes a lot of bloat but keeps the system serviceable. You can add languages, updates, and features post-creation. This is the recommended script for regular use.
- ⚠️ **tiny11coremaker.ps1** : The core script, which removes even more bloat but also removes the ability to service the image. You cannot add languages, updates, or features post-creation. This is recommended for quick testing or development use.
- **Invoke-Tiny11Cleanup.ps1** : NEW! Applies tiny11 modifications to an existing Windows installation without requiring a reinstallation or WIM image manipulation. Perfect for cleaning up an already installed Windows 11 system.

## Instructions:

### For creating a tiny11 ISO image (tiny11maker.ps1 or tiny11coremaker.ps1):
1. Download Windows 11 from the [Microsoft website](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11) or [Rufus](https://github.com/pbatard/rufus)
2. Mount the downloaded ISO image using Windows Explorer.
3. Open **PowerShell 5.1** as Administrator.

8. Sit back and relax :)
9. When the image is completed, you will see it in the folder where the script was extracted, with the name tiny11.iso

### For cleaning up an existing Windows installation (Invoke-Tiny11Cleanup.ps1):
1. Open **PowerShell 5.1** as Administrator.
2. Change the script execution policy :
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
```
3. Run the cleanup script :
```powershell
C:/path/to/Invoke-Tiny11Cleanup.ps1
```
4. Confirm when prompted to proceed with the cleanup.
5. The script will remove bloatware, disable telemetry, and apply optimizations to your current Windows installation.
6. Restart your computer when prompted (recommended).

> ⚠️ **Note**: This script modifies your existing Windows installation. Make sure you have a system restore point or backup before running it.
