Use xorriso to create the ISO:
xorriso -as mkisofs -o liteos-11-ultralight-ultimate.iso \
-boot-info-table -boot-load-size 4 -eltorito-boot boot/grub/bootia32.efi \
-eltorito-catalog boot/grub/boot.cat -probe-rm 0 -- -volid LiteOS 11 \
-joliet on -udf on -o ~/liteos-iso
Unmount and create a squashfs:
sudo umount /var/lib/liteos
sudo mksquashfs /var/lib/liteos /var/lib/liteos.squashfs -e boot=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs
The ISO includes a folder called !Tools where you can re-enable Windows Defender, Print Spooler, Bluetooth services, or Windows Store if needed. This "modular bloat" approach is genius—add back only what you use. Phoenix LiteOS 11 Ultralight Ultimate -FBConan-.iso
Q: Do I need a Windows license to install it?
A: Technically yes, but the ISO bypasses license checks. You can use KMS or MAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts) to activate, but that violates Microsoft ToS.
Q: Can I upgrade from Windows 10 to this?
A: No, clean install only. Upgrading would defeat the purpose. Use xorriso to create the ISO: xorriso -as
Q: Will my games run better?
A: Yes – esports titles like CS2, Valorant, LoL see 15–30% FPS increases due to lower overhead. Triple-A titles run similarly but benefit from reduced stuttering.
Q: Is this legal?
A: Distributing modified Windows ISOs violates Microsoft’s copyright. Downloading and using them is a gray area. For personal use, Microsoft rarely pursues individuals, but technically it’s unlicensed. Unmount and create a squashfs: sudo umount /var/lib/liteos
Q: What does "-FBConan-.iso" mean?
A: It identifies FBConan as the builder. There are imitators; this tag confirms original authorship.
