NTLite 2.3.2.8500 Released

24/11/2021

As most of you know, NTLite is a tool to create your own custom install medium.

And it saves you a lot of time installing more than one system identically if you need to.

Integrate updates, drivers, automate Windows and application setup, speed up Windows deployment process and have it all set for the next time.
Optionally remove Windows components, simplify your installation, reduce attack vectors and free up drive space.
Next to editing images, you can also do the same actions on your existing Windows installation in place, without reinstallation.
