It also uninstalls components, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Side-by-side_assembly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows Component Store (WinSxS)<\/a>, Windows Update, Microsoft Defender, additional built-in drivers, input features (for example, IMEs), Search, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/enable-bitlocker-windows-11\/\">BitLocker<\/a>, Biometrics, and Accessibility features, as well as most system services, including audio.\u00a0Furthermore, this script <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/uninstall-microsoft-edge-windows-11-10\/\">uninstalls Microsoft Edge<\/a>, OneDrive, Internet Explorer, and Tablet PC Maths.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll outline the steps to create a Windows 11 Nano11 ISO file for version 25H2, 24H2, and other releases.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tip-box\"><span><strong>Warning:<\/strong> Although you can access the script to understand how it works, you will still modify the original installation image, which may also introduce some installation issues.

It removes apps, services, and components to produce extremely small installation images.<\/p>\n<h4>What does non-serviceable mean in Nano11?<\/h4>\n<p>A non-serviceable Windows 11 installation cannot receive updates, add removed features, or reinstall core components after setup. In Nano11, features such as Windows Update, Microsoft Defender, and language packs are permanently removed, so the system cannot be patched or expanded later.<\/p>\n<h4>Nano11 Builder vs Tiny11 Builder: what&#8217;s the difference?<\/h4>\n<p>Nano11 Builder creates a more aggressively stripped image than Tiny11 Builder. While Tiny11 removes common bloat and supports low-end hardware, Nano11 eliminates Windows Update, Defender, drivers, and core services, producing smaller ISOs around 2.3\u20132.5GB with a much lighter installed footprint.<\/p>\n<h4>Is Nano11 smaller than the official Windows 11 ISO?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, Nano11 is significantly smaller than the official Windows 11 ISO. A standard ISO is typically over 5GB, while Nano11 images range between 2.3GB and 2.5GB. The installed footprint also drops to roughly 2.8GB to 3.2GB.<\/p>\n<h4>How do I create a Nano11 ISO for Windows 11?<\/h4>\n<p>Download the official Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft, mount it, and run the <strong>&#8220;nano11builder.ps1&#8221;<\/strong> script in PowerShell as administrator. The script modifies the image using DISM and oscdimg, then generates a new nano11.iso file in the script directory.<\/p>\n<h4>Is Nano11 safe to use on a production PC?<\/h4>\n<p>Nano11 is experimental and intended for testing or specialized use cases. Because it removes security tools, system services, and update capabilities, it is not recommended for production environments or primary devices that require stability, security patches, and long-term support.<\/p>\n<h4>Can you use Nano11 inside a virtual machine?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, Nano11 can be installed inside virtual machines such as Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, or VirtualBox. In fact, virtual environments are ideal for testing Nano11 because the image removes drivers, services, and updates that may affect real hardware stability.<\/p>\n<h4>What are the biggest risks of removing Windows Update and Microsoft Defender?<\/h4>\n<p>Removing Windows Update and Microsoft Defender eliminates security patches, vulnerability fixes, and built-in malware protection. Over time, the system becomes increasingly exposed to exploits and compatibility issues. Since Nano11 is non-serviceable, there is no supported method to restore these protections later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use the Nano11 script to create a lightweight ISO file to set up a Windows 11 installation of less than 3GB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180911,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2426,23],"tags":[97,19,2715,2576],"class_list":["post-180896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-windows","tag-difficulty-level-advanced","tag-how-to","tag-windows-11","tag-windows-help"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to use Nano11 Builder to create a stripped-down Windows 11 ISO file - Pureinfotech<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nano11 Builder script creates a super-light Windows 11 ISO under 3 GB by removing bloatware and system features for testing or VM use.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/nano11-create-windows-11-iso\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Create a stripped-down Windows 11 ISO file using Nano11\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nano11 Builder script creates a super-light Windows 11 ISO under 3 GB by removing bloatware and system features for testing or VM use.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/nano11-create-windows-11-iso\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pureinfotech \u2022 Windows 10 &amp;
