Microsoft rolls out super-light Windows 11 but it's not for everyone

The new operating system will be based on a command line interface (Command Line) and will be named "Microsoft Validation OS". It is designed for software or hardware vendors, developers or technicians to diagnose and mitigate problems. It will help build hardware and software around Windows 11 without having to install the full version.

"Microsoft Validation OS is a lightweight, fast, and customized operating system based on Windows 11 that you can use in the factory or lab to diagnose, mitigate, and repair hardware problems in the process. Windows device manufacturing Validation OS boots into the Command Line environment to increase stability in the factory environment and support the running of Win32 applications. It will help with the transition from hardware, raw software to product for consumers to become smoother," Microsoft shared.

As you can see in the Microsoft description above, Validation OS supports Win32 applications to help with the diagnostics of a Windows 11-based project in development. This stems from the fact that the Win32 API provides direct access to the system hardware and has various tools for diagnostics.

Note: Validation OS supports both ARM64 and AMD64 architectures. It is not easy to get used to Validation OS because it uses a command line interface, not the familiar Windows graphical interface.
