As is well known, Microsoft releases high system requirements to Windows 11, especially the PC must have enabled TPM2.0 chip, which makes many old PCs incompatible with this operating system. To let people use Windows 11 on low-end computers, some developers always devote themselves to launching a lite edition of Windows 11 and Tiny11 is an example, which can run on a PC with only 2GB of RAM.

Recently, the developers of Tiny11, NTDev, also releases a new feature called Live11 – a tiny live disk that can be used to boot Windows 11 from a USB drive or DVD. Move to the next part for an overview of Live11.

What Is Live11 Created by Tiny11 Developer

In general, Live11 is an optimized Tiny11 image that can run completely on RAM and it is designed to fit on a 4GB virtual hard drive (VHD). Although the image uses 4GB of RAM, Live11 has a limit – 8GB of RAM is required to load the Windows 11 operating system.

NTDev offers a disk image (4.4GB) to the Internet Archive and the size fits within the DVD with 4.7GB of capacity. That is, Live11 can be the first bootable Windows 11 live DVD you can get. Like other Windows live CD/DVD/USB, you can burn the ISO file of Live11 to a USB flash drive or micro SD card besides DVD to boot Windows 11, without installing anything on the PC.

After the boot, you get a brand new Windows 11 for many purposes like data recovery, troubleshooting, virus removal, and more. In addition, you can use Live11 as an emergency disk if the hard drive or SSD with an installed Windows is damaged and you want to access your PC.

Note that Live11 has some limitations if you want to try it:

1. The current version can only work on devices that run on an MBR disk with Legacy BIOS mode. PCs with UEFI and GPT are not supported.
2. Only VMware and Hyper-V work if you need to try Live11 on a virtual machine. VirtualBox is not supported since it keeps restarting after the “installing devices” phase.
3. 8GB of RAM is required to load the system.
