Always get a kick out of people talking about how slow the boot up time is if it takes a couple of minutes.I remember a time you turned your computer on went to make a cup of coffee and eat a piece of toast step outside had a smoke checked the paper all before windows booted.If it was already up as you sit down you say "Wow that was fast something must be wrong" hit control alt delete start all over again.
I mean, there also was a time when it was faster to get to point A to point B while fast pacing instead of using the first cars. Different times, different standards.
I had a different experience with Windows 98. I don't know exactly why or how but the boot time was not more than 15 seconds. And I think 3.1 was not really different.
THIS WOULD HAVE SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME. ALL I SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS MESS WITH THAT INI. I even opened it, changed minimum space to 0 tried to save, but notepad wasn't running as administrator so I couldn't be bothered as I thought it wouldn't work any way. That was 3 years ago. If only I had actually tried. IT WORKS, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS TO ME !
daum, i dont really remember watching this video, but i subbed to you around this point. i was just looking up how to do this and you popped up. Thank you MJD for having such useful and entertaining content!
This is a good idea mostly to install tiny 7 on disk on modules connected to usb temporarily to then plug into thin clients,servers and so on when all your optical drives are dead or just not available! That and some disk on module drives are too small for traditional setup since that requires a temporary swap file to work. I speak from experience with my own nlited XP pro SP2 installs. I am able to do traditional boot from CDROM to ssd/flash/hdd installs with that custom distro but it is only 134mb for my nano XP and 168mb for my micro XP nlite distros. I can install those onto a 256mb and 512mb flash or dom on thin clients. Tiny7 will need a 4GB disk so my HP T5740 thin clients with 4gb flash and 4GB ram will work. Thankyou for your informative vids! I will try the win to usb app to test this way of installing. BTW, as you got that disk size error, the first thing that popped in my head was edit the win to usb ini or config file to force install to a smaller drive like nLite does.
Thank you so much for this amazing video I tried doing the same thing myself but I couldn't figure out how to make win2usb install windows on a my 8GB flash drive. Thank you so much you saved me from buying a new USB flash drive
For people complaining about where the 64bit version is, it does not exist. Tiny7 is only for 32bit computers because it is designed to work on older computers like netbooks and others.
Every time I think about this OS it raises more questions. Since the requirements are super low, could you theoretically run this on a PPC mac assuming you have a faster G4/G5 and enough ram to run the OS with the VM? Imagine running windows 7 on a G4 or G5! It won't be fast but you'd probably be the first to do it.
Windows can be installed on a PPC Mac but only through the use of a VM because of the architecture difference. Not sure if this specific version can run though. I know most G3s and up can run XP and many XP computers can run 7 and 8 so it might work. might.
I have two G5s and have ran Windows XP on them. There was a HUGE noticeable difference in performance between the 2 because one was a single CPU and the other was a dual CPU.
@Michael MJD i would buy something like NZXT Internal USB IU01 and pair it with a 1 USB 3.2 or 3.0for os and another USB 3.2 or 3.0 for storage for a cheap set up . the NZXT Internal USB IU01 can be bought for around 30 usa $ you can get a PNY 256 gb for 40 dollars and if you got one already it would make it lot cheaper. Good for just media
I'm actually going to go ahead and make a live Win7 now. Live Linux master race and such yeah but I'd like to see how Tiny7 runs on my VERY old laptop. Happy days \o/
finally i found the video i needed gonna duel bot my macbook pro (120 giga ) im gonna use SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.1 SDCZ430-128G. it have 130 speed so it shuld be great (usb3.0 3.1)
Thanks a lot man!!!! For me the route for fixing WinToUsb disk space error was C:\Program Files\Hasleo\WinToUSB\bin The one that you said works if you havent opened the program (the one in the x64 folder). After opening it for the first time the one that works is this one, al least for WinToUsb v3.9.
Hi, Just installed it on a USB drive, 1..Cannot get it to work on USB3 Port at all. 2..Works on USB2 OK (using a USB3 or a USB2 Drive). 3..I could not get it to work if using a USB Hub, It needs to be a Master USB Port, so if you PC has lots of USB ports, some of them could be Hub ports but some of the will be master USB's. 4..After install and setup, installing the drivers for MoBo and LAN it's 1.99GB. 5..Booting from the USB Drive in a USB2 port takes 53 seconds to fully load windows. 6.. Even after it's fully setup, it will NOT load from a USB3 Port at all, Just a BSOD screen.
The technical information is quite in depth when compared to druaga1 who acts like an idiot. Although not totally accurate. Also you notice the one thing tgat druaga1 and michealmjd both have in common is that something tends to go wrong at the beginning of the video.

the 16gb minimum demand trick on ini file doesnt work on the newest version of wintousb 3.9 you have to download previous versions i downloaded 3.5 and its working on 8gb usb
bad english pls understand, while installing windows to flash drive by rufus for another computer and my pc shut down because of power cut .. then later i turn on my pc, my current windows is gone. why this happens ? is there solution to this ?
I tested the flash drive on 2 computers The first one gave me a Blue Screen Of death after boot logo. And the other one got stuck on Setup is starting services. Edit: i just realized that only USB 2.0 make the OS very Slow i recommend you to use USB 3.0
My installation got stuck in the "Setup is updating registry settings", and starting from Safe Mode gets, again, stuck at driver "disk". (And no disk or stick activity) No, the hard disk is not broken, it boots just fine normally. Any fix?
Hi There, I love the video. Very self explanatory if I follow it. My problem is, I am doing what you suggest by going from one NTFS file system on one thumb drive to another NTFS Thumb drive that I'm trying to install the running OS onto. The problem is it keeps on asking for a USB driver that doesn't come with the Win 7. The only option to 'browse' is the X drive. I'm running a windows 11 system that I bought in 2019, so I understand the hardware wasn't available then. Is the install script looking for the USB drives on my Laptop do you know? I'd dearly love to get Win7 onto a memory stick as I need IE for a work app, that uses IE as the interface. The fix that has been bought out is absolutely useless. So this would be a godsend. Thank you. You're very good at what you do. Alternatively, you dont know where I could download a working image to put on a memory stick do you? Thanks again Mark
