Note
If you want to change the display language of Windows, do so after AutoOS is fully set up.
Step 1: Before installing, please join my Discord Server to receive installation support and stay informed about future updates or changes.
Step 2: Download the latest Windows 25H2 ISO file from here (Log into your Google Account if you get an error). Other ISOs are not supported to guarantee consistency.
Step 3: Download your Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth driver (No Audio, Chipset, etc).
Intel: Ethernet · Wi-Fi · Bluetooth
Realtek: Ethernet (Win10/Win11 Auto Installation Program (NDIS) - Not Support Power Saving)
If your device is older and not supported by these drivers go to the Drivers / Support page or your Mainboard / PC and download them from there.
On Prebuilts and Laptops you may need to disable VMD Controller in your BIOS or download the disk driver (Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver) otherwise you may get a BSOD.
Extract all .zip files (for .exe files, there may be an extract option in the setup, otherwise use 7-Zip, NanaZip, or WinRAR to extract them) and move all extracted folders into one folder.
Step 4: Open PowerShell as Administrator.
Step 5: Paste this into the PowerShell window to download and run the deployment script.
$PSDefaultParameterValues['Invoke-WebRequest:UseBasicParsing'] = $true
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinodin/AutoOS/master/deploy.ps1 | iexIf you get any errors during the script, it’s most likely because your current operating system has disabled services that are required. Make sure to use a default installation of Windows to run the script.
Step 6: Once the script finished, restart your computer and boot into the default option. Make sure to keep your ethernet cable connected or connect to your WiFi in the setup. Then wait for Windows to finish installing.
Step 7: Once finished, wait for AutoOS to open up (On slower systems this may take a minute).
Step 8: Select your settings and click "Install AutoOS". This process will take around 30 minutes.
If you want to delete your old Windows partition and merge the unallocated space with the AutoOS partition, use Minitool Partition Wizard Free (decline each offer in the installer). Then use the Delete function on the old Windows partition and the Extend function on the AutoOS partition and max out the slider. Click apply and restart. Make sure to delete Minitool Partition Wizard Free again after you are done.

If the debugger is not attaching to the process, you are required to set EnableLua to 0 and restart your PC. This has been a problem for 5 years and Microsoft hasn't provided a fix:
