is a stripped-down, "lite" version of Windows 10 created by a developer known as NTDev. It is designed to run on very low-end hardware by removing bloatware, telemetry, and unnecessary system components while retaining core functionality.
It includes the component store , meaning you can use Windows Update to download security patches or manually add back missing features like Windows Media Player.
