I really like the way Ameliorated/AME Wizard handles the debloating. You take a Windows ISO and install like usual, then run AME with a playbook (like AtlasOS), which strips out the bloat through a collection of scripts . AME Wizard is open source, and you can directly inspect all the scripts within the playbook, whereas Tiny11 is a whole ISO that is hard to verify. Not saying that I can personally vouch that it is completely trustworthy, as I have only taken a brief look at the code and scripts, but I like to have the option. It also means that I could modify out any changes I don’t like.
I found out about AME Wizard when I had to reformat a MiPad2 tablet with 2gb of RAM, and so far it has worked better than when the tablet was new. The only downside is that you go through the full Win 11 install, so you need enough available space and then reclaim the wasted space after, but it is at least mostly automated.
Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?
You could probably run Windows 7 without any issues at all.
Yes it can!
Tiny11 is a stripped down custom build of Windows 11, which only requires 8 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM.
Someone even got it to run on 200MB of RAM.

Do you want to run Windows?
No, but I also don’t want to only have 2GB XD
It depends on the version. I ran windows 98 on 64MB, then I upgraded and ran windows XP on 1GB for quite a while before switching to Linux.
No, pure DOS only
Sure (with a bit of effort). Can you run Windows software with just 2GB? Now that’s a completely different problem.
Nexus OS windows repack is using 400mb ram on startup
