Created Windows 11 ISO - setup needs 500 GB storage for the OS

[Tardar]

Hey together,

i created an iso which is ~20Gb sized.
If i try to install it it will take 500GB and can't be installed with smaller harddisk.

Is here someone who can support or know which setting could be accountable for that effect ?


Thanks alot and have a nice day

Did you try integrating a ton of drivers or other things that take up space?

Attach the XML preset NTLite generated for your ISO. Edit it first and remove your license key.

I've read a story from somewhere. If you try integrating NVIDIA drivers, and scan the driver folder instead of loading ONE driver file then you get this ISO and installed image size. That's because each NVIDIA driver duplicates the graphics libraries (no hard linking).
