The performance gains are often massively exaggerated. Modern PCs are bottlenecked by hardware, not background services. Disabling Defender may give a 1-2% FPS boost, but it’s like removing seatbelts for better gas mileage.

The build number. Microsoft’s official 24H2 development builds have numbers like 26100.xxx (e.g., 26100.1). By including this, the modder implies their custom OS is based on a recent, "modern" codebase, not an old 21H2. However, verifying this without installing is impossible.
Users with 4GB RAM, old HDDs, or Intel Atom/Celeron processors that choke on official Win11 (due to TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and RAM requirements). Raven OS claims to bypass all hardware checks. | Metric | Stock Win11 Pro 24H2 |
AtlasOS is a documented, open-source script that modifies your existing Windows 11 installation. Because you start with a legit copy and only remove services yourself (via scripts), it’s far safer than a pre-modded ISO.
