K Lite OS, as the name suggests is a pretweaked, stripped, non-updatable operating system based on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (Long Term Service Channel). It is designed to be a Simple, Neat and Clean OS. It does not contain any pre-installed apps, toolkits, themes or wallpapers other than the default, just as most of us prefer. K Lite OS is available in four versions, Lite, Compact, Multi Lingual and Micro. Information about these versions are provided below.
a) Information about a Lite Build:
These are Lite versions of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC x64 and x86 with latest monthly updates. The default Language of these builds will be English (en-US) only. These are made for Gamer's, DAW and Low end PC's, so that they can keep their favorite hardware running. These builds have very low dpc latency and are highly responsive during tasks. These version can be installed from USB/ DVD drives as a fresh installation only. Upgrades not allowed. Use Rufus or Any Burn for bootable media creations.
These builds have the ability to choose between Defender and Non Defender editions during Setup. These builds are designed for those users who need basic Windows 10 functionality to run 3rd party Apps / Software’s. Do NOT expect all default Windows features to run in these builds. Users migrating from Windows 7/8/8.1 are highly recommended to try out these builds. Future monthly cumulative updates cannot be installed. You can’t upgrade your current OS! This has been done so that the OS will remain stable and not break with frequent MS Updates. Page File /Virtual Memory is enabled by default. Please do update Windows Defender definitions once the Defender edition OS is installed.

c) Information about a Multi Lingual Build:
These are Multi Lingual Non Defender versions of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC x64 and x86 with latest monthly updates. These builds are same as the Lite builds, only with the exception of selecting preinstalled languages during Setup. Currently this build is available in 28 Global Languages (Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English (UK), English (US) *default, Spanish (Multinational), Estonian, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Multinational), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian).
These Multi Lingual builds will be updated Half-Yearly (June and December). Only Regular Members can request their languages to be included in the next versions.
d) Information about a Micro Build:
These builds are totally stripped of all default packages while retaining very few, only for Legacy reasons. These builds are only meant for extremely old hardware or to play in Virtual Machines. Do NOT use these for regular use. Default Language for these builds will be en-US (English) only. You will not be able to change Languages or Keyboard Layouts in these builds. Strictly 3rd party Software implementation. Micro builds will be updated Half-Yearly (March and September).
Features removed from these builds:
- All packages of Lite Version - Internet Explorer - Disk Cleanup - Disk Defragment - Media Player - MS Paint - Mouse Pointers - Photo Viewer - Performance Monitor - Page File - QOS - Resource Monitor - Snipping Tool - Windows Defender Firewall - Windows Search - Zip - Many Many More...
e) Last Thoughts:
These builds are intended for Users who have a sound knowledge of Windows Setup and Configuration. Only LTSC (Long Term Service Channel) editions of an Operating System will be preferred. Choose a Version which best suits your needs. Read the information fully about the builds before installation. Backup your present OS! as you can revert back if these builds don't work for you. You will have almost 15 days to test and report any problems in a build from its published date. Request for adding or disabling features will be considered for Compact Versions only, as the Lite and Micro Versions have been finely tuned to its last stage and will almost remain the same throughout their Life Cycle.
Support provided only for Clean Official Software's downloaded directly from the Original Developer's Website. Repacks, Warez, Torrents, Portables NOT installing or working properly are NOT entertained.
Finally..... Thanks for all the supporters who have helped make K Lite OS better through their valuable Suggestions and Reviews . Hope you enjoy the builds!
