This thread has missing the point at some point in the comments, this is for slimming down your 7 Starter, Home Basic-Premium, Pro, Ultimate as much as a ThinPC edition, only make sure to check compatibility for office and all what you would like to keep and if there is telemetry/Consumer experience index, uncheck them, to be safe.
If you want to have a Thin PC OS like in your local language, it would be possible by doing the following:
Download the 'Windows 7 Thin PC' evaluation ISO and extract to a folder from the official link:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...E9-F7FDE3806950/ThinPC_110415_EVAL_x86fre.iso
1.- Open NTLite
2.- Add the source dir
3.- Load the image
4.- Go to Components tab
5.- Click on Compatibility toolbar icon
6.- Uncheck all and click on Ok
7.- Now go to Source tab
8.- In the Presets' toolbar (if not enabled, click on Presets' tab on top of the toolbar or on the presets panel side to enable the presets toolbar)
9.- Click on Save as... icon and name it as ThinPC or type your prefered name
Repeat the steps for a full Windows 7 edition (Home Basic - Ultimate) but a step 9 use the OS name edition instead of ThinPC
10.- Make a backup of the preset files (recommended to copy to another folder).
11.- Compare ThinPC and Windows 7 edition (Home Basic - Ultimate) preset files
12.- Remove from Windows 7 edition (Home Basic - Ultimate) preset file the lines found between <RemoveComponents>and</RemoveComponents> in the Thin PC preset file.
13.- Click on New session in the Presets toolbar
14.- double click on the Windows 7 edition (Home Basic - Ultimate)
15.- Click on Apply tab
16.- Check Create ISO and enter the file and label names
17.- Click on Start in the toolbar icon.
Recommendations:
After loading the finished Windows 7 edition (Home Basic - Ultimate) preset file, you can load it in a Windows 7 session but make sure to check in components the basic that you would need, like .NET Framework 3.5.
If you don't have an utility to compare text files, you can use Beyond Compare from Scooter Software, free trial version works ok (at least v3), after 30 days you can still use it, i don't really know it's limitations (other than popups on start), as i use it only the very basic for comparison.
Note:
Read the 'Release Notes.htm' file for missing features in ThinPC.
