This is the second version to support 32-bit processors
This is a stripped-down version of Windows 10 based on Build 1511–10586 (aka November Update or TH2). The minimum system requirements remain the same as expected, although this customized version of Windows should run faster than the original, thanks to a number of changes that have been made, which are listed below.
I also have the first version on my profile, which is 64-bit
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: ONCE YOU REACH THE “GET GOING FAST” SCREEN, SELECT CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS, THEN TURN EVERYTHING OFF TO RUN WINDOWS *** System Requirements • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster /PAE SSE2 (if Windows 8 was running, this will work too) • RAM: 1 GB for 64-bit (technically only 512 MB is required) • Hard Drive Space: 20 GB • Graphics Card: DirectX 9 or higher. Changes and Information (still the most important): – Most Metro apps removed except Edge, Store, and Calculator – Most non-essential drivers removed (e.g.
graphics, printers, network)
Downloaded and installed based on each computer’s specifications – Removed some accessibility features – Removed language and Cortana support – Removed search (search bar in browser still works) – Removed Windows Media Player – Enabled Windows Photo Viewer, which can be used instead of the metro Photos app, although photos will first open in Paint until the user changes the default app to Windows Photo Viewer. – Disabled hibernation – Disabled page file – Removed firewall (although in some cases it may appear when using an app, and the service was not removed because it is necessary) – Windows Update was not removed, but there is no guarantee that it will work, as I always disable it via services.msc (it is still necessary to enable it to install apps from the store) – Apps from the store should work fine…
– Games from the store no longer work (I could not figure out why)
Non-UWP games (like CS:GO) should still work, provided your drivers are updated.
