WinReducer will read the data from your Windows 8 installation files and then you can get started. You can also click the Extract an ISO box and point WinReducer at the ISO file - it will automatically extract the ISO file to a temporary folder.Īfter pointing WinReducer at the Windows 8 installation files, select the edition of Windows 8 you’ll be using and click the Mount button. You’ll next have to copy the contents of a Windows 8 installation disc to a folder on your computer and point WinReducer at that folder. This is the most tedious part of the process - it’s smooth sailing after this. ImageX and osdimg are both included in the same package, so you only really have to download four different tool packages. Just download the software and install it as you normally would, then click each check box and point WinReducer at each installed program’s. The message tells you you’ll have to manually download certain tools that WinReducer requires - click OK to continue.Ĭlick the Download links to visit each program’s website and download the appropriate software. Launch WinReducer after extracting it and you’ll immediately see an error message. It’s okay to experiment with it on your own, but don’t use it to customize an entire organization’s mission-critical Windows 8 installer discs just yet. That said, WinReducer includes a warning that it shouldn’t yet be used for production purposes. This software is technically in beta at the moment because of how new Windows 8 is, but it worked fine for us.
