Phoenix windows OS

I came across this phoenix customised windows OS > HOME for
gamers/non gamers in win10/11 platform. It seem to be the best customised OS i have found so far.
Any thoughts to share ?

I just don't trust third parties who have done who knows what to an OS. And I am happy with Windows 10 and 11 the way it is.

After many hours of download the archive asks for a password...

Pffffffffff... Of course I'm gonna chase that.

Last time I tried it was: Windows Ghost Spectre, It wiped off my machine to install a Bugs Bunny version of windows 10...

Glad to recover my image in 5 minutes....

The password to extract those 7zip file is (phoenix). I have downloaded mine and burned into dvd, will give it a try when
i'm free. But i actually though someone here might have tried it and able to provide feedbacks of their product.

I'm currently using ghostspectre's win10 20h2 v19042.985, so far so good as i mostly play games with my computer.
Therefore i would prefer OS modified for gaming purpose. Modified OS are not tailor made for individual so you
would have to choose one from many that suit you. I would like to use stock OS if only microsoft had make a gaming edition
of their windows OS.

These custom builds are for more advanced users because they have a lot of built-in features (bloat) removed. When I had Windows 10 pro 1901 pro installed the hard drive light would be almost constantly running even with no apps open and the PC idle. I have Ghost Spectre on 2 of my computers (no Cortana, Defender or any other bloat) and the systems run perfectly for over a year with updates disabled. One laptop is dual-boot with Windows 7 and the other is my daily driver with Skype/Teams and Office 2019. Both are very responsive versus the lag I would often experience with stock 1901 on the same systems.

I can't speak for Phoenix as I've not had the time to try it, hopefully someone else will and post their experiences. I use Ghost Spectre on my work PC and it runs like a dream so have no need to try another build.

Hey, thanks for the Pw, I downloaded the best build '21 pack, I'm currently installing the W10 pro gamer edition... I'll tell you how it goes.

@sportster,

First impressions (Pro Gamer best build '21).

I Applied the install.esd to a VHD and Added it to my BCD. The complete setup took less than 5 minutes. loll

The Good:
1 - Very small footprint: less than 7GB installation 1.2GB Ram used with 37-40 processes after installation. got up to 77-80 and 1.4GB used with all drivers properly installed.
2 - Automatic setup of a local Admin account connected or not to the internet. you can then create local users.
3 - While there no activation facility. The services Remains unaltered and Genuine activation Works. using slui and slmgr
4- GPEdit works in all versions.
5 - Disk activity is nearly null at rest.
6 - Powershell, Windows management works,
7 - Windows Defender Antivirus is completely Absent.
8 - The setup is clean of malware. (nothing detected with 3 offline AVs)

The Bad:
1 - While it is supposed to be a "Pro Gamer edition", It misses a lot of common "Pro Gamers" tweaks.
2 - Some of these are a little counter productive. But it can all be fixed.
3 - Virtual memory is disabled, had to correct that.
4 - I had to use a script to remove some remaining Telemetry elements

The Ugly:
1 - Windows Update is completely disabled and absent.
2 - There is No Antivirus protection at all. So you rely on your knowledge to keep your installation secure. and use a third party one.

Conclusion:
A lovable light weight Windows with really all the bloat removed. It feels and runs like Windows 7.

I like it it has a pretty broad line of uses it can be harnessed to do. And would probably be pretty good for low power machines.

Thanks for your detail evaluation of phoenix OS.
