Se7en L1te (Windows 7 ISO smaller than 1GB)

[K4sum1]

This is an ISO that I haven't touched since sometime in 2020, I don't remember how I made it, but you might be able to piece together how I made it with the xml files included. I used the 2020-01 ISO as a base and integrated more updates, I integrated some updates with telemetry, however I nuked the telemetry from the ISO. The ISO is highly optimized, I removed and disabled everything I could while still keeping compatibility with most programs. My only changes since the release candidate in 2020 are that I converted the install.wim to .esd and slimmed down the boot.wim.

The ISO is under 4GB when installed, however you will need to reboot after installing to see the true size. Due to how Windows 7 works, the size can be anywhere from slightly bigger to half your drive before you reboot. RAM usage can also be up to 1GB less than stock 7.

will it have any problem when i try to dualboot it with linux mint ?
will it have any driver problem with integrated graphics chips and games ?
does internet have any problems and how easy is it for hackers to compromise my system ?

1: It will work as well as any other version of Windows, you can either install Linux afterwards and use GRUB, or install Linux before and use EasyBCD to add Linux to Windows Boot Manager.

2: Probably not, this ISO works with most of what I tested, I've only ran into issues with few programs.

3: Probably harder than stock 7, there's less attack vectors, however, this is stuck at 2020-01 forever

4: Not sure if it works with etcher, I use Rufus.

If the Windows 8 boot.wim, which is what the ISO uses, does not work, you're just fucked. Only 10 will work.
