Tiny11 Or Ghostspirit As A Dual Boot

I recently got a laptop with Win 11 after years of using XP, and I hate it with a passion - so much bloatware, and so difficult to use. I've looked at methods of removing the bloatware, but I'd never trust myself not to remove something important.

I've recently discovered Tiny11 and GhostSpirit via Youtube videos, and installing one of these seems the ideal solution, but I'd be afraid of replacing Win 11 with one of these, in case I couldn't get Win 11 back. So I was thinking of installing one of them as a dual boot with Win 11. Can anyone advise someone like me who isn't very tech savvy how to do this, or point me to a tutorial?

Just one other thing I'd like to know, purely out of curiosity. I understand that these stripped down OS's are mainly used on computers that have limited memory, because they take up less RAM than Win 11, so they work faster. My laptop has 20gb of RAM - would I notice any difference? Thanks.

 

Tiny 11 is for older hardware and little RAM so installing it on a new system with 20 GB of RAM wouldn't be a great idea.

Do you have a link for GhostSpirit? I can't find anything on it.
I don't think this is it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(operating_system)

You should be asking about removing what you suspect is bloatware and making Win 11 user friendly by reading articles on making appear to be more like XP.
Here's one article

Can you list the "bloatware" for us? Or, perhaps take a screenshot of your installed programs?

There are programs like Classic Shell which can change the appearance of Windows. Also, Retrobar is not the only option. Stardock is a paid version, but they do some legwork for you. Additionally, do not use these two programs together.

There are a few youtube videos that pose the question if these stripped down OSes are clean or not, so if you want to roll your own, check out https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder
If you replaced the factory (might backup first) install with an MS release you would lose some of the bloatware / 3rd party apps, but the computer should have no problems activating - unless there is some odd driver you need from the manufacture. So getting Win 11 back is not an issue, download the latest release (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_windows_iso_download_tool.html) and use Rufus (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/rufus.html) to make a bootable USB install from the ISO.

But Win 11 does look bloated with the tiles, etc. so like others mentioned Open Shell (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/classic_start.html) & try a debloater like https://github.com/kdpuvvadi/debloat-windows11 - these generally clean Windows bloat, not any 3rd party addons.
