As many of our readers know, Tiny10 is a slimmed-down version of Windows 10 that can run smoothly on older computers, do not meet the hardware requirements of the mentioned operating system. Yes, this will also remind you of Tiny11, which is nothing more and nothing less than the scaled-down version of Windows 11 that we already told you about a month ago.

To reduce the demands and, by the way, to lighten things up, Tiny10 removes everything that we can consider as bloatware and keeps only the important functions. The difference is so big that in its 32-bit version it barely takes up 5.2 GB of space. Compared to the more than 20 GB consumed by Windows 10, this is barely a quarter of the space occupied by the mentioned operating system. The 64-bit version of Tiny10 takes up about 10 GB of space.

This reduction in unnecessary components also reduces the amount of RAM we need to run Tiny10 smoothly. In the case of the 32-bit version, we will have a good experience with only 1 GBand the 64-bit version will work fine 2 GB RAM memory. And you won’t have to worry about anything, because everything that matters is present in Tiny10.

Due to its peculiarities, Tiny10 does not receive updates in the same way as Windows 10. It is a project that is maintained separately and recently has been updated to version 2303. This version is based on the latest official Windows 10 update, which means it is a major update. Among the most important novelties included in this new version, we can highlight:

• It includes a component repository, thanks to which we can update the operating system and add new features.
• It also brings remote desktop, a very useful feature for many professionals.
• Windows Defender is included, which offers a good level of protection and security without having to resort to third-party elements.

Tiny10 2303 can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. The installation process is very simple, but we have to take into account that this is an operating system that is not activated and that we will need to have a license to activate it. We can use standard Windows 10so in theory a license to Windows 7 and Windows 8.
