zOFT - zereOS Optimized Footprint Technology

Reduce Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 footprint from ~9.2 GB down to ~3.5 GB

The footprint of Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 (x64) is approximately 9.2 GB after removing the Pagefile and compressing the image. That's why we created the zereOS Optimized Footprint Technology. With zOFT we remove components that are not needed in embedded scenarios โ€“ reducing the footprint to approximately 3.5 GB (Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 x64). For Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC, zOFT achieves 3.1 GB x64 and 2.0 GB x86.
