I informed you in the previous "WinReducer Project - Status Information (01 may 2022)" about major changes in the WinReducer Series software :
2/A - WINREDUCER SOFTWARE
This is one of the most important piece of the entire WinReducer Project renewal, all individual software in each WinReducer Software Series, you usually used since June 2015, will be regrouped to propose only one software with all functionalities in each "WinReducer Series" ! For example, in the "EX-Series", you will get all functionalities in one unique software from EX70, EX80, EX81, EX100 and EX110 !
==> All changes will be progressively implemented until it will reach the v4.x.x.x development branch on 15 June 2023 !
Starting on 19 June 2022, there will be a lot of changes to implement in a regular release basis ... it will provide an entire renewed User Interface and User eXperience with even more configuration customization options and internal changes : I started from a blank page to be sure to propose something totally new and very innovative with all previous functionalities as well as all missing functionalities you requested.
2/B - WINREDUCER SOFTWARE MONTHLY SCHEDULE
The official monthly schedule has been also reworked to provide a more efficient software version release system because there will be a lot of changes to implement and because the WinReducer Project is community oriented, you will be able to discuss about the changes during all steps !
Here is the new monthly release schedule for the next years :
- Week 1 : new versions for "FREE", "EXTREME", "VIP" and "VIP+"
- Week 2 : new versions for "VIP" and "VIP+"
- Week 3 : new versions for "VIP" and "VIP+"
- Week 4 : new versions for "VIP" and "VIP+"
==> Each week, the software version will be available on Friday, Saturday or Sunday !
2/C - WINREDUCER SOFTWARE YEARLY SCHEDULE
Since the previous Project Status information, I confirm the availability of the next development branch dates.
- 17 June 2022 : WinReducer Forum Upgrade to support upcoming software

- 01 July 2022 : "WinReducer ES-Series and EX-Series - v3.5.1.0" software, which will be the beginning of functionalities implementation and will introduce the new software monthly release schedule
- 02 November 2022 : "WinReducer Series - v3.6.x.x" software development branch

3 - WINREDUCER.NET WEBSITE AND FORUM
All these important changes, which are coming, will reflected by a profound modification of the website as well as the forum.
3/A - WINREDUCER.NET WEBSITE
The website will continue to evolve, as already engaged, with:
- changes in the WinReducer Store with new licenses
- changes in the software download and information pages with new software
3/B - WINREDUCER.NET FORUM
The Forum will evolve on 17 June 2022 !
The most important changes will be done in the forum because this is the center of the WinReducer Community, so it deserves to evolve too.
But do not worry, the entire database will remain intact and you will be able to always find all your previous topics and discussions !
In fact, all forum categories will be simplified to provide an easier way to access to the information you need.
4- WINREDUCER PROJECT SOFTWARE CONVERGENCE
As already explained, you will find less software in the WinReducer.net website and forum but still the same functionalities as well as all requested or missing options.
The main particularity is that the WinReducer Series software will share the same development platform as the WinReducerOS software ... but not the same goal :
- the WinReducer Series software will fit perfectly to users who need a directly accessible and very dedicated software to achieve fast and precise Windows customization tasks
- the WinReducerOS software will be much more dedicated to users creativity and will require much more work in order to create your own solution
==> you will have the choice, depending on your skills level and/or your creativity, between two different software solution (one for direct execution and one to create and share your own creative execution) ... but with the same philosophy (the Windows customization) !
------------
So, let's begin the most fun part in few days !
------------
I wish you to have a nice day and stay safe !

Hello guys,
A new development cycle is about to begin and it will prepare the next WinReducer Project evolution.
So, as usual, I will share with you many information and an updated schedule, for the entire WinReducer Project, which means information about the WinReducer Series and WinReducerOS software !
1 - STATUS OF THE WINREDUCER PROJECT
First of all, a lot of people asked me during the past months, if the WinReducer Project was dead ... let me be straight ... the answer is : NO !
The WinReducer Software will continue to be updated regularly ... and yes, I assume, for the moment, this is done with less updates than few years ago.
This new development cycle, we are talking about today, will be the latest stone to the biggest evolution of the WinReducer Project : in few words, integrate the WinReducerOS software as well as keeping the specificity of all WinReducer Series software in the long term vision I had since I dreamed about WinReducerOS !
A huge work has been silently done since many years to provide you a much better and much more interesting evolution for the WinReducer Project ... for this, I never counted my hours, days or nights to think about the future of the WinReducer Project, to test it, to review it, to modify it, to create it and to share it with all of you !
So, believe me when I say, enlighten by all the work done, that even if I'm silent I'm working on the future of the WinReducer Project !

5 - WINREDUCEROS - v2022.x.x.x
WinReducerOS is still in its alpha development stage, there are many things I'm not satisfied of ... so to be honest, the different beta/stable status will be reached not before the mentioned dates in the paragraph 2 of this "WinReducer Project - Status Information - 01 May 2022" named "WinReducer Schedule" !
6 - WINREDUCER "ES - File Validator", "ES - Logo Changer", "ES - Wim Converter", "ES - Wlan B&R", "EX-70", "EX-80", "EX-81" and "EX-100" planned Limited Support, End Of Support and End Of Life

Hello guys,

10 years of pleasure, 10 years of researches, 10 years of discoveries, 10 years of hard work, 10 years of days and nights work, 10 years of coffee, 10 years of wonderful discussions, 10 years of bugs, 10 years of requests, 10 years of ideas, 10 years of sharing, 10 years of amazing users community, 10 years of amazing forum members, 10 years of amazing facebook members, 10 years of amazing translators, 10 years of amazing forum moderators, 10 years of wonderful registered users, 10 years of passion, 10 years of development, 10 years of software, 10 years of thinking to the future, 10 years of ES-Series, 10 years of EX-Series ... 10 years of adventure ... and it seems to be yesterday !
The 05 October 2011, the WinReducer Project got its final name ... and the Project was finalized with a first step of development to create the website and forum as well as to propose many software solutions to customize Windows ... and a second step which was WinReducerOS (already named in 2011) !
Yes, the 05 October is an important date for the WinReducer Project, his official name and Project status in 2011 and his official WinReducer..net website and forum in 2012 !
So, for this event, one day is not enough, to thank you for your help, contribution, ideas, reports, sharing ... there will be 10 days to celebrate 10 years of WinReducer Project with many surprises !
For example, today you will see a new software website page and a new forum dedicated part for WinReducer EX-110 ... to customize the new Windows 11 Operating System which is already available. With it, a new chapter of the WinReducer Project will be opened, because this will be the 5th Windows Operating System to get a WinReducer Software support !
The First EX-110 official version will be available on 8-9-10 October 2021 and will be based on the EX-100 interface v3.x.x.x. ... do not hope to much about it for the moment ... the customization options will be available progressively with the same schema of the EX-100 release schedule and rhythm since 2015 !
The WinReducer Project has a new software project : WinReducerOS ... which is also in an alpha phase, increasing progressively the number of options ... this is just the beginning of this new adventure !
I can assure you that the work on the ES-Series and EX-Series software is not finished because a v4.x.x.x is already planned in 2022 !
So I really want to send an enormous THANK YOU to all users, members, translators, moderators and registered users for your passion in making the WinReducer Project better and better every day and by exploring new ways to customize Windows ... I'm very happy to have you on my side since all these years.
With WinReducer ES-Series, EX-Series and WinReducerOS software, you will get the most complete customization solution to create or modify what you want or need !
I wish you to have a great day !

In June 2021, 6 years after the official release of all WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" software ... all your software will begin to evolve to become one entity : "WinReducer Series".
All software and categories will be entirely reworked with major changes (new design, new U.I., new U.X., new removing engine, new functionalities, ...), and will be regrouped by themes (one software for one theme) :
- ES-Series : acronym for "Easy and Simple" software, to achieve easy tasks with a high level of efficiency

- MM-Series : acronym for "Multimedia" software, with all options for reading and converting, all audio and video files using a Media Center graphical user interface
- PR-Series : acronym for "Professional" software, with all options to create your WinReduced 10 and Server ISO, as well as your MS Office ISO
- ... more will be available in the future !
==> All these new "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" software will introduce a new software architecture which will be available with WinReducerOS : the modular architecture named "WinReducerOS Modules" based on the WinReducerOS core !
==> All valid serial numbers from WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" v1.x.x.x, v2.x.x.x and v3.x.x.x will be still valid with "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" according to the information which will be available in the WinReducerOS website (not yet available).
4 - WINREDUCER "ES - File Validator", "ES - Logo Changer", "ES - Wim Converter", "ES - Wlan B&R", "EX-70", "EX-80", "EX-81" and "EX-100" planned Limited Support, End Of Support and End Of Life :
The countdown is started for all these WinReducer Software for both the Limited Support (L.S.), the End Of Support (E.O.S.) and the End Of Life (E.O.L.) :

5 - WINREDUCER.NET VIP MEMBER AREA

I informed you in the previous "WinReducer Project - Status Information (01 may 2022)" about major changes in the WinReducer Series software :
2/A - WINREDUCER SOFTWARE
This is one of the most important piece of the entire WinReducer Project renewal, all individual software in each WinReducer Software Series, you usually used since June 2015, will be regrouped to propose only one software with all functionalities in each "WinReducer Series" ! For example, in the "EX-Series", you will get all functionalities in one unique software from EX70, EX80, EX81, EX100 and EX110 !
==> All changes will be progressively implemented until it will reach the v4.x.x.x development branch on 15 June 2023 !
Starting on 19 June 2022, there will be a lot of changes to implement in a regular release basis ... it will provide an entire renewed User Interface and User eXperience with even more configuration customization options and internal changes : I started from a blank page to be sure to propose something totally new and very innovative with all previous functionalities as well as all missing functionalities you requested.
2/B - WINREDUCER SOFTWARE MONTHLY SCHEDULE
The official monthly schedule has been also reworked to provide a more efficient software version release system because there will be a lot of changes to implement and because the WinReducer Project is community oriented, you will be able to discuss about the changes during all steps !

- Week 2 : new versions for "VIP" and "VIP+"

==> Each week, the software version will be available on Friday, Saturday or Sunday !
2/C - WINREDUCER SOFTWARE YEARLY SCHEDULE
Since the previous Project Status information, I confirm the availability of the next development branch dates.

3 - WINREDUCER.NET WEBSITE AND FORUM
All these important changes, which are coming, will reflected by a profound modification of the website as well as the forum.
3/A - WINREDUCER.NET WEBSITE
The website will continue to evolve, as already engaged, with:
- changes in the WinReducer Store with new licenses
- changes in the software download and information pages with new software
3/B - WINREDUCER.NET FORUM
The Forum will evolve on 17 June 2022 !
The most important changes will be done in the forum because this is the center of the WinReducer Community, so it deserves to evolve too.
But do not worry, the entire database will remain intact and you will be able to always find all your previous topics and discussions !
In fact, all forum categories will be simplified to provide an easier way to access to the information you need.
4- WINREDUCER PROJECT SOFTWARE CONVERGENCE
As already explained, you will find less software in the WinReducer.net website and forum but still the same functionalities as well as all requested or missing options.
The main particularity is that the WinReducer Series software will share the same development platform as the WinReducerOS software ... but not the same goal :
- the WinReducer Series software will fit perfectly to users who need a directly accessible and very dedicated software to achieve fast and precise Windows customization tasks
- the WinReducerOS software will be much more dedicated to users creativity and will require much more work in order to create your own solution
==> you will have the choice, depending on your skills level and/or your creativity, between two different software solution (one for direct execution and one to create and share your own creative execution) ... but with the same philosophy (the Windows customization) !
------------
So, let's begin the most fun part in few days !
------------
I wish you to have a nice day and stay safe !

The WinReducer Software will continue to be updated regularly ... and yes, I assume, for the moment, this is done with less updates than few years ago.

The 05 October 2011, the WinReducer Project got its final name ... and the Project was finalized with a first step of development to create the website and forum as well as to propose many software solutions to customize Windows ... and a second step which was WinReducerOS (already named in 2011) !
Yes, the 05 October is an important date for the WinReducer Project, his official name and Project status in 2011 and his official WinReducer..net website and forum in 2012 !

With it, a new chapter of the WinReducer Project will be opened, because this will be the 5th Windows Operating System to get a WinReducer Software support !
The First EX-110 official version will be available on 8-9-10 October 2021 and will be based on the EX-100 interface v3.x.x.x. ... do not hope to much about it for the moment ... the customization options will be available progressively with the same schema of the EX-100 release schedule and rhythm since 2015 !
The WinReducer Project has a new software project : WinReducerOS ... which is also in an alpha phase, increasing progressively the number of options ... this is just the beginning of this new adventure !
I can assure you that the work on the ES-Series and EX-Series software is not finished because a v4.x.x.x is already planned in 2022 !
So I really want to send an enormous THANK YOU to all users, members, translators, moderators and registered users for your passion in making the WinReducer Project better and better every day and by exploring new ways to customize Windows ... I'm very happy to have you on my side since all these years.

On 05 October 2022, more than 6 years after the official release of all WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" software ... all your software will begin to evolve to become one entity : "WinReducer Series".
All software and categories will be entirely reworked with major changes (new design, new U.I., new U.X., new removing engine, new functionalities, ...), and will be regrouped by themes (one software for one theme) :
- ES-Series : acronym for "Easy and Simple" software, to achieve easy tasks with a high level of efficiency
- EX-Series : acronym for "Expert" software, with all options to create your WinReduced 7, 8.1, 10 and 11 ISO (Windows 8.0 will not be supported)
- MM-Series : acronym for "Multimedia" software, with all options for reading and converting, all audio and video files using a Media Center graphical user interface
- PR-Series : acronym for "Professional" software, with all options to create your WinReduced 10 or 11 and Server ISO, as well as your MS Office ISO [the "PR-Series" name may be subject to changes]
- ... more will be available in the future !
==> All these new "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" software will introduce a new software architecture to bring even more functionalities for the future !
==> All valid serial numbers from WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" v1.x.x.x, v2.x.x.x and v3.x.x.x will be still valid with "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" according to the information which will be available in the WinReducerOS website (not yet available).
