Atlas OS is a bootleg Windows 10 20H2 edition, created by Atlas Team. It was released on July 19, 2022 and added to the archive on November 15, 2023.

This bootleg is well known for being a specialized "gaming" mod meant to improve performance, and has received moderate popularity on social media. It has also received moderate criticism from people doubting the safety, legality and overall authenticity of the mod.

Description

This OS is a modified Windows 10 20H2 ISO. It's made to boost performance in gaming. It removes a LOT of bloat, modifies the default wallpaper, modifies the color scheme and adds an "Extras" folder with:

  • an "1. Install Software" directory with:
    • an "Install Browser via Script.bat", which is a GUI made to install some browsers;
    • an "Install Driver Software via Script.bat", which is a GUI made to install drivers;
    • an "Install Scoop (must do for Software Scripts).bat", which just installs Scoop;
    • a "Links" directory with links for a LOT of software, and a registry key that modifies the 7-Zip context menu entries.
  • a "2. Install Drivers", with:
    • links for drivers for AMD/NVIDIA GPUs,
    • NVCleanInstall (lightweight NVIDIA drivers installer)
    • A link for a driver installer called "Snappy Driver Installer"
  • A "3. Configuration" folder with a LOT of registry tweaks;
  • A "4. Advanced Configuration" with several other registry tweaks;
  • An "Optional Tweaks" with even more optional registry files
  • A "Troubleshooting" directory with several troubleshooting-related scripts
  • An "Utilities" folder, with:
    • A "DiskQueues" folder
    • A link to the Atlas OS "Game Util" tool
  • Links to the Atlas Discord, documentation, known issues and... wallpapers.

After the OOBE completes the OS will run a script that:

  • Will set a lot of Windows effects for performance
  • Modify the Start Menu layout
  • Reboot the OS

It's partly unattended.
