[Windows 11] jenneh:
Hello Friends~!

I have built a tool called MODWIN that takes everything I learned from writing this GUIDE and makes it Easier!

VIDEO EXAMPLE:

WRITTEN GUIDE:

STEP 1: Open your Windows ISO and copy all the files.

View attachment 6035404

STEP 2: Open MODWIN. MODWIN will automatically create the Folders and Files it needs, if need be.

STEP 3: MODWIN will instantly open the newly created ISO directory so you can paste your ISO files in.

STEP 4: Close the ISO folder and select Option 1 on MODWIN's Main Menu.

STEP 5: MODWIN will automatically detect if the unpacked ISO contains a WIM or ESD and present you with a list of options to choose from. You can select any option by typing the correct number and MODWIN will extract the WIM.

STEP 6: Select option 3 to mount the wim.

STEP 7: Now that the WIM is mounted, you are able to edit the WIM’S applications, packages, features, and registry.

This is the application menu. This menu allows you to remove applications manually, remove all applications, or install your own applications.

Note that the "remove all" functions may remove items you don't want removed. These features are for advanced users and are generally not useful for normal users. Normal users will receive the most benefit from being able to add custom files folders and apps, and to add unattend support to make installs faster.

Also be aware that if you remove any apps, packages, or features, even if you apply unattend support, you need to kill your internet during install if you dont want your changes reverted or Windows to update. This is only for the people removing items and not for those adding items or only adding unattend support.

(OPTIONAL): If you add your apps to the APPS folder in MODWIN, it can detect them and install all of them at once. CLICK HERE to see a Time-Stamped video showing how to download apps from the Microsoft store for your new iso if you haven't done that before.

LOADED REGISTRY HIVE EXAMPLE: MODWIN is now able to open regedit for the user and prompts them to go to local machine / offline to see the loaded hive.

USER FOLDER: Users can add their own files and folders to the user folder and it will install everything onto the wim when option 7 is ran in Main Menu.

STEP 8 BUILD ISO: This menu allows the user to build a compressed ISO or an uncompressed version. It is also able to unmount and clean the mount point with option 2.

V6 MODWIN now supports unattended installation. This feature will also install a TPM fix so older computers and laptops are able to run Win 11. If you want to be able to install your Windows 10 or 11 isos without any need to press any keys then you will want to run option 5 first, then choose option 1 to build or option 3+4.

Option 1 makes a smaller iso but takes a long time to do so, 3+4 is faster but bigger. I usually use 3+4 but some people have to make isos under 4gb for older usbs, or just want to make a smaller iso in general, which is why option 1 is presented. Else if you didn't mount your wim, and you only wanted to add unattend support, you can just run option 4 to build the iso.

If you want to turn off the auto-login feature, after Windows has installed, open CMD and run this code:

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /f

UNATTEND SUPPORT DEMONSTRATION, ENGLISH + INTERNATIONAL DISTROS:

COMPLETED ISO BUILD EXAMPLE: After setting a name for your iso, MODWIN will use Xorriso to build your iso and then open the folder containing your new iso.

Advanced users, the PATH folder in MODWIN is accessible to you and with the right permissions you can strip the WIM further. More research is needed in this area before I can release findings. If you would like to see how to "strip" the wim further, here are some examples of code GO TO COMMENT, user discretion is advised as to what apps you choose to manually remove. Can use some help in determining "safe" packages to remove. "Safe" as in Windows still installs and boots and allows user to open files, connect to internet, and download whatever they want. This is not actually Safe safe in the context of some sorts of folks so I want to be clear.
