If Windows 11 24H2's install size is too big for you, there are methods to reduce its footprint significantly. NTDEV revealed on X that Windows 11 24H2 works with its Tiny11 ISO builder, enabling super small installs of Microsoft's new version of Windows 11. Tiny11 can shrink 24H2 into such a tiny install package that it can fit inside a DVD with the capacity to spare.
NTDEV shared a screenshot of a new clean install of Windows 11 24H2 made with Tiny 11, featuring a complete install size of just 3.54GB using LZX compression. By comparison, Windows 11, by default, usually takes up to 20 to 30GB of drive space. An install size of less than 4GB would give you enough space to install Windows 11 on a standard DVD drive with more than a gigabyte of space for additional items such as application installers for 3rd party apps and browsers. Standard DVDs have a capacity of 4.7GB.
