You can get a completely minimalist Windows 11 by grabbing an ISO from Microsoft then reprocessing the ISO by feeding it into this utility: https://github.com/christitustech/winutil (Win11 Creator Tab) to get a NEW ISO which you then install. The end result is an extremely clean and stable Windows 11 installation. The resulting image can remove telemetry, bypass hardware requirement checks, and enable local account s…

That won't help you get to the minimum of Win10, though
