Update Download:   Make_WinPE_Trusted-96 -  E = file Encrypted with pw=bootwimb

- Tmp_System Registry files are generated from install.wim SYSTEM Hive and are applied 

so that Update of PE SYSTEM Registry Hive with 14 Control and 48 Services Registry Keys originates from the actual ISO Source.

- Also PE SYSTEM DriverDatabase is Updated with netvwifibus.inf Registry Keys in case BOOT.WIM is used as PE BOOT Source.

Update Download:   Make_WinPE_Trusted-97 -  E = file Encrypted with pw=bootwimb

- Cleanup of File_List files - Removal of duplicates in file entries

- SMALL_Add_Install_Files_10.txt improved with extra 30 MB PE Size so that Desktop DPI Setting is working with DPIScalingMFCApp.exe

It means in fact that SMALL = WinXShell Version and LARGE = Explorer Version have almost the same List of Added files from install.wim

Advantage is a much better PE  Desktop now also for the SMALL = WinXShell Version with adjustable DPI Setting :thumbup

Windows 11 24H2 requires additional extra files to get Desktop DPI Setting working with DPIScalingMFCApp.exe

For the time being this is considered as the final version ..... :cheerleader:

But for sure new adjustments will be needed when New Windows ISO Versions arrive ... :wacko:

I found something. Maybe it's for you.

Validation OS 26100.3624.250321-2034, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...esktop/validation-os-overview?view=windows-11.

It's free, there is an URL inside of link above to download source ISO.
No GUI, command line only. No any limitations for usage and for hardware to install as I know.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...esktop/validation-os-overview?view=windows-11 It is the documentation from Microsoft for Validation OS

It can be downloaded as PDF file too.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...sktop/validation-os-customize?view=windows-11 It is MS documentation of Validation OS generation and customization using Validation OS Image Builder

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...idation-os-customize-advanced?view=windows-11 the same but using another tool, GenImage (Advanced)

Download ISO
https://aka.ms/DownloadValidationOS

https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/discussion-microsoft-validation-os.85484/
https://software-static.download.pr...50.ni_release_amd64fre_en-us_VALIDATIONOS.iso

ISO contains folders tree – the source for generation WIM file from scratch.

Microsoft states that this WIM may be used as WinPE or can be installed to HDD/SSD as bootable OS.

It is the most compact Windows OS as I ever seen.

I think some have managed to run some win32 progs in validation OS
