Support for Windows 10 will officially conclude in October 2025, prompting users to seek alternative solutions for security and updates. Users with devices that do not meet Windows 11 requirements can install it on unsupported hardware using a tailored ISO and a tool called MicroWin. To create a personalized Windows 11 image, users must run a command in the Windows terminal to activate WinUtil, which allows downloading the latest official ISO from Microsoft. Users can customize their installation settings and generate a modified, lighter ISO. After creating the ISO, it can be transferred to a USB drive for installation. This method helps extend the lifespan of older PCs as users transition from Windows 10.

Many users find the standard Windows 11 taskbar distracting and prefer a minimalist approach with a transparent taskbar. Windows 11 has a native transparency option under Settings > Personalization > Colors, but it typically results in a frosted glass effect. The TranslucentTB app, available for free on the Microsoft Store, allows users to customize the opacity and color of their taskbar. To use it, users should download and install the app, find the TranslucentTB icon in the System Tray, and select "clear" from the Visible Window menu for full transparency. Users can also adjust Security and Privacy settings if the app does not function properly. TranslucentTB offers dynamic behavior options, allowing the taskbar to change transparency based on user activity, such as becoming transparent only when a window is maximized.
