Hi i'm new to this forum. I need the latest version of Windows 10 Lite. Someone suggests me to buy it from any website.
You can also check this software for better understanding my question.
Now i'm confused that should I install that or not?
Please comment your honest answers that should I install it or not. I'm waiting for answers.
Thanks.

The only official Lite(ish) version of Windows 10 is the Enterprise S LTSB(Long Term Service Branch) edition which is not availible to home users as it has licensing restrictions.

Some editions are smaller by design, Home edition will not have some of the advanced features of Enterprise and Professional editions.
Then there are the N and KN(Korean N) editions that are missing some media features. A Home N edition will be a bit smaller than a Professional non N edition and will suit many home users.

Anything pretending to be Windows 10 "Lite" is usually a home brewed iso that used a 3rd party tool to shrink it. If any website is charging for a "Lite" ISO or Offline Installer then it is very likely to be a scam. Dont be fooled by these "lite" iso's, you dont know what they have taken out and worst of all you do not know what they may have put in.

Downloading of lite home brewed iso's is frowned upon by most of the online community. Only use official sources for your iso's. File Hash/Checksums are availible all over the web so if you download from an official source, trusted source or unknown source always check the checksum. If they dont match then your iso is corrupted or modified in some way so delete it.

Finally, NTLite allows you to create your own customised iso's. You are creating it so you know what you have taken out and what you have put in. There is support from the developer and experienced liters to help you along the way.

I’m new to NTLite I’ve never used this software at all but I would like to create my own lite edition iso windows 10 but I haven’t got a clue what I’m removing and what I have to not touch, I’ve watched so many videos but there not long enough and they don’t show you what to remove and what to leave would someone be able to do a list of what to remove and what not to remove I tried to create a lite edition iso but I got to many error messages I give up in the end the only way I can get a lite edition iso is upload someone else’s what they have created but the only problem is I have to change the nationality because there in the USA I’m in the UK.

Clanger has presets for beginners, and also there you can see what he removes and what not to. Also, in compatibility tab available in NTLite you can protect the features you want keep for example remove everything but keep Windows Search. NTLite will protect the features required by Windows Search and the remove the unnecessary ones.

Correct. i deffo wont have anything for 20xx+ build series.
LTSC is 4/5 builds away from from 20xx and some of MT_ s project may not work on 20xx +.

Sorry I know what you mean now 20xx is the build number so how do I know what to remove and what not to remove I’ve downloaded the free version I want to create my own lite edition iso windows 10 pro 64 bit
 
Never buy any ISOs that are not directly from Microsoft.
Here is the latest Windows 10 ISO.

Then go to the ntlite.com/support page and read Documentation, also see a few videos.
You can easily find top results on Youtube, "ntlite guide windows 10", or similar, hours of content.

Start with all Compatibilities on default + any that you need enabled, mostly turned on (Components - toolbar - Compatibility).
And don't remove manually any Drivers or Hardware Support components.
Once that is to your liking in a virtual machine, continue trimming more.
If you don't know what a certain component is, leave it be, remove only those that actually annoy you to look at or setup.
 
But it doesn’t tell us exactly what I’ve got to remove or not I’ve been watching loads of videos on how to strip windows 10 I’ve been watching fri33thy on YouTube he is brilliant I try to copy what he is doing in the videos on how to create my own windows 10 lite edition iso I get lost in the video I can’t keep up with him I want to learn how to create my own custom iso I need to exactly what I’m removing and what I can’t for the windows 10 2009 version.

You can use the presets provided by MT_ and them guide you to the build 20xx+
But, the preset may not work as you expect in the build 20xx+ due the fact Microsoft always change the way the component works.

Exactly. you mayget away with an 1809 preset on 1903 but 20xx is 4/5 major builds away and lets face it, MT_ s work is very, errr, my brain looks at it, farts then walks away. im still firmly comitted to w7 and 8.1.

I have just download LTSC-All-Versions Zip but It noticed it doesn’t work on windows 10 I’m finding this very complicated I tried another software and I tried to create a lite edition iso but it didn’t remove all the bloatware even though I removed it this is not as easy as it looks.

In NTLite you have the possibility to integrate the updates of windows 10, and for the drivers you need go to manufacturer website to download the latest drivers for the current hardware you want. If you want make multiple editions, in the support website has a topic explaining how to do it.

How do I add updates and packs to my custom lite edition iso I think I’m understanding it bit but I’m not sure could you explain in detail.
 
In the menu of NTLite you can click add updates, and also can see which updates are available for the windows 10 version or windows version you're editing.
