Surface Go Series has been my go to laptop for years now! Portable, pen support and great for media consumption. Remote desktop is very good nowadays. Using this as a client I don't see much point having a beefy laptop anymore when I can remote into a desktop or other more powerful machine.

I put Tiny 11 on my Surface Pro 3 and now it's as fast, or even a hair faster than my Surface Pro 6 for the basic stuff. That was quite a surprise. So I'll probably put it on the 6 too.

Thanks for the video!

Tiny 11 seems fantastic. Just be wary that it's not developed by Microsoft, so 3rd party analytics collected from your device will be floating around on the web with unknown security,

Hey thanks for sharing this and I find it helpful even for other older gen surface like go1 and go2. Just wanted to ask as for the Tiny11, the file downloaded in .4x extension whereas i see most videos its under .iso is there a specific software we need to use to unziped it？

looking for suggestions, i performed all the steps and install seems to go through. but keeps taking back to setup menu. ive tried several times with no luck, the install gets faster everytime i do it. im using a surface go 2

Does not having those other windows processes bring up security and stabilty Issues? I wanna put this on my pro 7 tbh.

Are you still able to update this in the automatic windows update installer or do you have to wait for a new release and force update?

Excellent video, out of interest could Tiny 11 work on the Windows Surface RT?

Thanks!

what about install windows 10 32 bits, its use to be 1gb of ram, do you test it on the surface go?

would this work for my surface go GEN 1?

My touch stopped working... i have a surface pro 4, can someone pls help me

My surface pro 4 has lte, would that work too?

Thank you for the good and long work installing this for a 12 min video. What do you think about the Surface go 2 M3 processor, 8 ram and 128 Ssd?

Solid device, would be faster than this lol

@Shain, hey nice review. But I have read there is heating issue in some versions of SG2 and SG3. Would you pls specify about it? I am planning to buy either SG2 (Refurbished) or SG3 (New) for basic use like word/excel/you tube viewing as a secondary option but don’t want a roaster. Which version should I opt for basic use? 4GB/64 or 8GB/128? M3 or Pentium? Will appreciate your input. Thanks..

Go 3. 8/128

Can any custom ROMs work on the Pentium surface go 8gb ram

I'm such a p//ssy with stuff like this. The benefits are significant, but my paranoia of something breaking in the future is just too strong. Sidenote: What are your thoughts on using a Surface Go as a tablet post recent Moment 4 update?

I have a old surface go with 8GB, I'm trying surface linux using fedora so far so good feel much more smooth than win10 image and I'm looking your video but 3.4 is quite high I'm having the same memory usage with browsers tabs open in edge or firefox, only down side so far I'm not able to make the camera work properly but it's not like I was using it anyways

What about roms like ggOS or kernalOS

After a few tries I got it running on an older tablet pc but the “no system required “ version I installed was the Enterprise version of win 11 😅

every tiny iso has the entreprise version

A battery test on the Surface would be cool to see with the tiny 11 version if it got like an extra 30 minutes

It seems fairly similar so far, but I might not notice 30 minutes one way or the other tbh.

​​@@scaryifliteral what do you loose with tiny 11 as compared to normal windows 11?

I'm thinking of installing tiny windows 11 on surface go 1. Normal 11 runs fine. I didn't even have to really bother with avoiding cpu support detection. Will surface pen drivers work

@@SlyFox247 it kind of does, wouldn't say it's good but i guess you could label it as "fine"

I use a Surface Go 3 Pentium 4GB-R(AM)/64GB-S(torage) and when i leaved the S mode, started to run slow, so i'll install Tiny11 when the warranty expires

From what I see you got the moment 2 update? That means you can update this version even further? Some people said that you can’t so I could decide to get the version or not

During the first installation just make sure to login with the local account only (not Microsoft account)

You can clone the Emmc to a Nvm ssd and make that machine good

yeah, you just need to install it manually

People give Apple crap for selling models with 8GB of RAM, which I think should be long gone by 2023. However, it is absolutely beyond me why Microsoft ships a devices with 4GB of RAM. Even to hit a price point there is absolutely no excuse to ship a device with 8GB of RAM in 2023 (or even 2018), much less 4GB of RAM; especially considering RAM is not upgradable.

To be fair, there's like a thousand dollars between the two devices lol.

You can install Tiny 11 on anything? … Duo1?

Linux can.

It is way better with Linux on it.

Can't hurt to try,,,,I hope 🙏 😞 😌
