    Installation in Parallels VM:

    • Select image file
      • Select Operating System - 'Windows 10' (if not recognised)
      • Option: for Software Testing
    • Install should then all be fully automatic for Windows 10 within a few minutes (OS compression can take a while and the VM will appear to be unresposive for possibly a few minutes)
      • restarts automatically

    After Installation in Parallels VM:

    • optional: install Sysinternals Process Explorer & add shortcut (for better Memory usage measurement)
      • Memory usage about 300 MB, after a few minutes idle using Process Explorer
    • Install Parallels Tools
      • if auto-start is disabled, manually start setup from CD drive with autorun.exe
      • Unattended installation of Parallels Tools http://kb.parallels.com/en/11616: PTAgent.exe /install_silent
    • optional: add GPedit.msc & WinDirStat shortcuts
    • make Firefox default (if installed)
    • Check Device Manager

    Limitations:

    • Cannot be updated properly with Windows Update, due to cumulative updates breaking the system (see Host Refresh Wizard for alternatives https://www.ntlite.com/v1-2-stable-released/ )
    • Network discovery has to be manually enabled
    • Event Viewer Errors: various such as
      • Print Service
      • Task Scheduler
      • Driver install failed
    • Strange layout in Settings - Privacy - Location

    I tested it with various applications, and so far everything works fine including larger ones such as Corel Draw.
  • Thanks chriswayg!
    Linked on the support page, I'm sure many will find it helpful, as your previous guide was.
    Be sure to let me know if I can help in any way.

    You're welcome nuhi!

    Final on-disk install Sizes with Presets:

    • Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (32bit) NTliteTiny2 - 1.2 GB (no swap)
      • The created iso image is less than 700 MB (with esd). This is my smallest image which works without problems, by leaving out Updates, Printing, OneDrive and a few other things. With more testing, this could be reduced further.
    • Windows 10 LTSB 1607 (32bit) NTlite9 with integrated updates - 2.3 GB (plus 500MB swap)
    • Windows 10 Enterprise 1703 (32bit) original FULL install - 9 GB (no compression), 7.5 GB (with compression)
    • Windows 10 Enterprise 1703 (32bit) NTlite1.0 with integrated updates - 2 GB (plus 500MB swap)
      • This is my favorite general purpose VM, using the settings described in the tutorial
    If you want to use one of these example presets, please adapt them to your needs: at a minimum check your VM/PC hardware and change the Password in Unattended!
    for more Windows 10 presets look at Emma's excellent work here: Preset Downloads
  • oo, I get a mention, sweet, . Reply is one my preset questions page(so i dont hijack this topic ).
  • chriswayg, will your presets be updated from time to time?
  • edited August 2017
    @Emma - Actually I will probably not update the presets very often, as I like to keep a stable VM as long as possible. My current one works well, and I might look at updating the Enterprise 1703 preset after one or two years.
    The LTSB version stays current for 3 years, thus I will probably update the LTSB 1607 version preset sometime after the next release.
    'The next release will be in 2019 according to Microsoft, and it won't be called LTSB anymore but LTSC. LTSC stands for Long-Term Servicing Channel, and it is the new term for that special branch for Enterprise customers.'

  • I have moved my preset downloads to the new forum - here

With the new Microsoft Surface laptop, Microsoft announced the new version of Window 10— streamlined Windows 10 S. The primary reason to invent it was making an operating system faster, secure along with improving battery life for better user experience. Microsoft launched the Windows 10 S installer tool to download and install Windows 10 S on a computer simply to test it. If you want to download and install Windows 10 S on your computer, this guide will help you through the process.

In some ways, Windows 10 Lean is also a legacy-free version of the operating system, with the Control Panel, for example, empty and unpopulated with items. Unlike Windows RT however regular Win32 applications can still be installed. ๑۩۞۩๑- CLICK EN MOSTRAR MAS -๑۩۞۩๑๑۩۞۩๑- CLICK EN MOSTRAR MAS -๑۩۞۩๑.NOTA: El Iso trae las versiones de 32 y 64 Bits dentro. New Software Give Warm welcome to windows 10 Lean What is windows 10 lean software Microsoft is working on a new edition of Windows 10 that Microsoft calls 'Windows 10 Lean' once installed is a whole 2GB's smaller in size compared to a normal edition of Windows 10 like Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro.

Note: Windows 10 S installer tool works on Windows 10 Pro, Pro Education, and Enterprise. Windows 10 home and N edition users won’t be able to install Windows 10 S using this tool, but they can use the fresh install method.

  • Download Windows 10 S for 64-bit [3.77GB]
  • Download Windows 10 S for 32-bit [2.68GB]

Download & Install Windows 10 S Through Installer Tool

This tool (LINK) downloads Windows 10 S (ESD) file to your computer, then will execute the setup and Windows 10 S will be installed on your computer. Cool

Windows 10 Lean Iso

  • First backup your files to the drive in which you have installed Windows 10, this method will require an internet connection so make sure connect to wifi as the downloaded data will be around 2-3GB.
  • Download the Windows 10 S Installer from the Microsoft site (link given above) it’s an online installer and about 5MB, then run it (you don’t have to install it, it’s a direct run program), allow it to run.
    • Accept the license terms, unless you can’t use the installer. Click on the Next button to proceed.
    • On the next screen is Windows 10 S installer will check minimum hardware compatibility, this includes your CPU, RAM, and disc space. This checking process will not take more than a few seconds. Click the Next button to continue.
    • The installer will download the Windows 10 S file (formally an ESD file, later it will execute the file and start the setup). If you’re looking to directly download the ESD file and convert it to ISO, move to the next section to get download links and resources to create a bootable USB and do a fresh install of Windows 10 S.
    • It will take a while, as for 32-bit computer download file size is around 2.4GB+, and for 64-bit it’s 3.1GB+. To kill time minimize it and play these google games or surf these useless or entering sites.
  • Once the tool downloads the Windows 10 S file (esd) it’ll ask to restart your computer to continue this setup, click on the restart now button.
    • On the next reboot, Windows 10 S should be installed, it will take some time and will reboot several times during the installation, sometimes it took longer to install Windows so make sure to connect your PC to a power source.
    • Just like any other Windows 10 installation, you have to go through some setup pages, and once you are done click on the next button to finish the installation and dive into the streamlined Windows 10 S.
    • Your system will now boot into Windows 10 S. Simply log in with your account, and you’re good to go.

Note: Your data will be preserved, but the Windows apps and settings will be erased. This means you can’t install apps outside of Windows Store.

Remove Windows 10 S

Visit Windows store and update to the Windows 10 Pro, if you already have a license and did a fresh installation.

You have 10 days to go back to your earlier Windows 10 version. To do that go to Settings > Update & security > Recovery. (This won’t work in a clean installation case).

Alternately you can anytime Download Windows 10 ISO or Insider preview and do a clean install.

Clean Install Windows 10 S

Windows 10 Lean Iso

If you did backup your data and wanted to do a fresh installation of Windows 10 S, then use you should be doing it this way. A fresh install method also takes less time compared to installing it using the tool within the installed Windows 10. What we are actually doing is, downloading the Windows 10 ISO file (esd, then converting to ISO) and then creating bootable USB media install it on your computer.

Create a Windows 10 S bootable USB

Use Rufus tool to create Bootable USB media.

What’s wrong with the Windows 10 S?

Driver Issues

Many of the drivers may or may not be installed since I can download all the drivers for my HP laptop from the HP website, but since they provide executable programs, I couldn’t just install them because Windows 10s won’t let me do it. However, you can download driver programs extract them, and used the device manager to update component drivers. Many users reported that Windows 10 S wouldn’t install component drivers closely tied to performance and power management.

Store can be nightmare

Office 365 wasn’t available for a test Dell laptop from the Windows store. Also, the GIT office application from the start menu doesn’t work and only gives this error “ the thing you are looking 4 isn’t available.” Although for test purposes you can install Windows 10 in a hyper V virtual machine or VirtualBox, I noticed that Office 365 installed without giving any error.
