Windows 7 - Optimize Gaming/Poweruser/Runtime Profile, ability to run absolutely minimal.
Version: New is newest, If I decide to keep updating I'll start versioning.
Similarly tuned to my LTSC build, works on VMware and physical computer.
If in doubt follow my LTSC instructions for aid.
Nothing is thoroughly tested, but gaming seemed to work just fine
Post-setup might not work on this one (somehow), so you'd have to copy paste them manually from, NTLite.xml after installation.
Comes with some additional post-setup registry files as well to put W7 to the absolute minimum (memory/handles).
Nominal installation for normal usage, average handles: 4200~
Absolutely bareboned: <2000 handles.
ISO: en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso
PROCESS: Same as my LTSC. Prepare updated image first, integrate nvme hotfix, usb/ahci/etc drivers if necessary (also on Windows setup), strip editions, then work from there. My personally picked updates list is also in the pack.
Screenshot:
Windows 7 also (usually) works in pure UEFI mode;
1. Flash iso with rufus (GPT / UEFI (non CSM)
2. Boot either without CSM support and pc will reset and warn that it jumped into CSM mode, or manually enable legacy CSM mode.
3. Click on UEFI: Boot Windows 7 setup entry, Install W7.
(if peripherals do not work or drives cannot be seen, you either havent properly integrated nvme hotfix or relevant drivers)
4. When successfully installed, install video drivers.
(Most bcdedit commands are already implemented in post-setup, just need to do this after having installed video driver
5. bcdedit /set novesa on
6. Execute post registry file for EFI.
7. Reboot and turn off CSM compatibility module and go back to EFI.
8. Windows 7 should successfully boot in pure UEFI mode.
