Windows 7 Pro and 8.1 ISO Information Presets

Just an interesting thing, I extracted the iso presets from windows 7 pro and windows 8.1 pro, just because I was interested in learning what has been added since those editions of windows, and also was wondering if it would help me learn what is required for a basic windows to run, and figure it may be useful to someone else

Txmmy inside this pack somewhere is a preset to get w7 pro x64 installed at 1.16(or 1.26)gb installed.
This was built on 1.2.0.4861(might have been a 1.2.1 build). Since there have been new removals added you might shave around 300mb off, i cant see there being much more than that.

Ive also added 8.1 stuff and things for boot.wims(setup) too.
Taken from my All My Stuff pack on my downloads page.

Go for it ma' boy, will be interesting to see what a fresh pair of eyes with newer removals comes up with.

Have a look at MTs Windows 7 Gaming/Poweruser/Runtime Profile.

oh these are not stripped iso presets, these are just extract of what's already not in those iso's compared to windows 10, I assume that as I figure that's what ntlite checks them against, ive changed nothing these are just an experiment to run over top of a windows 10 or 11 and see what would not be in them if it was windows 7 or 8.1, i just used the reverse ntlite switch (ntlite.exe /forcelistcomponents /saveallstates) and its just highlighting all the stuff that's not within the iso compared to some list, I'm not attempting to modify them at all, if you try to use the presets on either windows iso there wouldn't be any changes I don't think as this is entirely default

Basic means different things to different people so ive put the stuff up whether you need it or not, but its there if you want it.
 
thanks for sure yeah im always interested in whats been done, only way I've been able to learn anything is seeing what others have done, and idk kind of done with messing around with iso's and windows cause literally default windows to an optimized windows nothing changes, ive still got losers online who wanna mess with me when testing, so I can never tell anymore what's made an effect because external factors that i don't understand are having a effect, like i can be default windows and have to spray and pray like everyone else, then I can optimize and be able to walk around and one tap people well they stand there firing all those bullets, and then suddenly everything is messed up after one or two matches, cause magically these losers who have to cheat in video games now still spray 10 bullets but its magic I've died to only 2 headshots, so I figure why even waste my time, I have no way of getting them to listen and actually do just one buffer bloat test to prove to them that that's one of the reason's they cheat, so I've given up trying to make gamerOS, when I start going backwards and removing less stuff then before, I think Im done

like i can have default windows 10 waveform buffer bloat test results 20ms unloaded, 300ms downloaded and like 300ms uploaded

then i can optimize pc and test results now say 16ms unloaded 0ms down and 0ms up, and do all this optimization stuff but I cant stop someone
from cheating and turning up their cheat package so I give up, its literally working so hard on my mental health I feel like Im going insane, so
many people are so uneducated that when someone one taps them or is doing experiments with windows they just think that they are cheating,
so they fire 10 - 15 bullets only hit 2 headshots and try and tell me that they aren't cheating, when I'm literally standing in one spot not moving watching them spray and pray 10 - 15 rounds all the bullets hitting me in the char model but not even registering with the server but then magically in kill cam it says only 2 bullets from m4 or one shot with ak like nothing in the body registers, I ask them all the time why they can't actually one tap but its always a one tap in the kill cam after firing so many bullets at me, and then I've got to sit there and listen to the little sociopath lie to my face, saying that they aren't cheating

Yes, uh-hu, i agree. You are doing too many things at once, you have bitten off more than you can chew.
Ive said it before and i will say it till the cows come home but there are just too many damn variables and you cannot know them all therefore you cant take them into consideration when compiling presets. Cherry picking according to ones needs and testing to destruction is the only way you can do this.
 
right now Im just trying to focus on windows 10, ive noticed in the firewall area, some programs and stuff that i never use like remoting and casting and stuff like that with ports and stuff, and I assume thats one way that could be exploited, so Ive been trying to remove them specifically from a default windows without messing with anything else right now, i got most of them connected to their components and can remove most, and yet still see some things there in the list like remote access stuff and others idk what they do gotta do research, but they dont sound like something I would use well gaming, so i have to explore more, and Ive just learnt about edge traversal and how to kinda enable QoS (its not perfect, like it is on my 350$ router) on my computer rather then using another router, but then Im conflicted cause linus says that you should never use just your isp provided router, so that bugs my ocd and pulls at my mind, and Ive also tried those on default settings and suggested optimized settings, and can only effect change for so long, and then its magic the same thing happens, spray 10 - 15 well i stand there and wait for kill cam and its magic they hit me only with 2 right in the head waving their weapons around like feather dusters

this is the current persons suggested optimizations that I'm currently exploring

My OCD is being well balanced out by health issues and "i just dont care anymore(aka im too old for this s--t)".
Share stuff for the os/'s you are using only, let others adapt them to other os's.
I am much more interested in tweaking than removals now but nuhi's templates look interesting for w10 builds where i need to cut down the resources being used.
 
yeah i've tried the gaming and the privacy templates, i've even tried combining them with other peoples suggested like fr33thy and such

one thing i've been wondering is with my presets, is their items for the network or something that people wouldn't remove, like i've been doing the most basic tweaks and its always the same experience seemingly gained performance, like if i factory reset everything its still the same experience online and I'm sitting there thinking this is what the regular person has to deal with, and my ocd just kicks in and I start trying stuff cause I've had better gameplay just don't really know how and what i did to get there, but when I was there I had other issues and try to fix them and cant get back to the same experience i had before
