To understand if this OS will work for you, you must understand what has been removed and what remains.
If the OS crashes or fails to boot, try these fixes:
Use Rufus. When selecting the ISO, Rufus will prompt: "Image is hybrid. Write in DD mode?" – Select Write in DD mode (not ISO mode). This preserves the bootloader structure. Also, set Partition scheme to GPT and Target system to UEFI (unless your PC is pre-2012, then use MBR/CSM).

As of late 2025, Microsoft has pushed AI features (Copilot, Recall) that are hardware-dependent. The Phoenix team has announced that a "Neon 24H2" build is in beta, but the 22H2 build remains the most stable.
Because Microsoft ended support for 22H2 in October 2024 for standard users, this custom build relies on security patches being manually integrated. You will not receive automatic security updates. If you use this build, you must manually download cumulative updates (if you trust them) every 6 months.
