You can be brutal in this section, but keep in mind that disabling some components can cripple some Windows features. To help you rip out as many components as possible while ensuring you don't break any important features, nLite has a Compatibility option that allows you to check important features that you want to keep intact. Since I'm going the merciless route while slimming my install disc with nLite, I'm selecting just a few compatibility options as seen in the screenshot.
After choosing those options, I'm going through the Components list and checking off most components I'm not expecting to use—which is most of them—for removal. This part can take some time, but the nLite wizard does a nice job of informing you of what each component does and what may be affected if you remove it. You can remove most of the components without ever noticing, but keep an eye out when you're going through the list.
Once you've set up your components for removal, click Next to advance to the next step. You'll see different steps depending on what options you gave the green light to earlier, like system tweaks. Here you can conduct all sorts of simple system tweaks that can help with your performance.
For example, check out the Performance options for various tweaks. Likewise, you can save on performance overhead by tweaking options in the Visual Effects section. Some, like disabling window animations, can boost performance, while others are more a matter of taste. Like the Components section, you may want to spend a few minutes deciding what you prefer in this section. Don't stress too much about these choices, though, as none of them should really make anything go wrong with your install.
Finally, if you're happy with all the tweaks you've made so far, click Next to start building your new, streamlined Windows installation. Now that you've created your very own trimmed-down Windows installation, you're enjoying the performance boost and a smaller memory and hard drive footprint.
But you can take things even further by installing and running another freeware application called Game XP. Designed to optimize your system settings and speed up your computer to maximize your gaming experience, Game XP can also be used to throttle unnecessary processing and boost the overall performance of your computer. Your mileage may vary when you try out Game XP on your system, but give it a try and watch your performance with and without to see if it changes how your lightweight system runs.
Game XP runs from an executable file, so there's nothing to install. Just run it whenever you want to try out its speed-boosting capabilities. I haven't had any problems with this program, but I have read a few bad experiences, so proceed with caution. Finally, if you've already gone through all the work of installing and setting up Windows just how you like it, you probably don't want to start with a fresh install with the likes of nLite.
That doesn't mean that you can't still cut some of the bloat out of Windows. The tool's name is RT Se7en Lite and it allows to slim down existing installs and create a new iso which is used for new installations. Some time ago you could read about another tool about I did a write up, which works also for Windows 8.
The tool's name was Winreducer 8 , you might want to check it out as well. The utility I'm introducing to you today works for Windows 7 only. W8 isn't on the supported OS lists. When you install the tool first, it asks you for location of the ISO files of Windows 7 and a patch where it can extract those.
It takes about min to extract the whole ISO. Strangely enough it says that WAIK is needed 1. Wait a minute. This tool can customize Windows Server ? Not quite sure about it as I haven't tested thoroughly this utility yet.
I think that you can use other tools for creating an ISO from the working folder if you need to. When I am typing and still researching I open my editpad and copy everything to it while I refresh and or need. Good advice G-X. I could also copy what I've typed into the clipboard then paste it back after a page refresh.
That's what I do. Saves typing over and trying to remember what I had already typed. I had to get a small USB keyboard light so I can sit in my recliner and see the keys.
Helped with the typo errors. I use a full size wireless keyboard in my recliner, however, on the computer next to my bed I often use the onscreen keyboard if I am lying down.
