It’s honestly a bit disappointing when a good idea doesn’t fully work the way it should. Tomex OS Pro is one of those cases. The concept behind it is genuinely practical, well thought out, and clearly aimed at users who want a lighter, faster Windows-based system without unnecessary bloat. If a small patch or update fixes one specific issue, this could easily become one of the most interesting optimized Windows builds available.
Over the past few days, many users—including myself—have been looking closely at Tomex OS, a lightweight operating system developed by Tomex together with Opti. Earlier, there was a free (standard) version, which already showed potential. Now comes Tomex OS Pro, a more aggressively optimized edition that promises even better performance.
So the real question is simple:
Does Tomex OS Pro actually improve things, and if yes, by how much?
Let’s go step by step.
🧠 What Is Tomex OS and Why People Are Interested in It
Before diving into the Pro version, it’s important to understand what Tomex OS is trying to achieve.
Tomex OS is essentially a stripped-down, optimized Windows-based system designed for:
- Lower RAM usage
- Fewer background processes
- Faster boot and responsiveness
- A cleaner experience without Microsoft’s extra apps
This type of system appeals especially to:
- Gamers on low-end or older hardware
- Users who dislike Windows bloat
- People who want a “just works” setup without endless configuration screens
The standard version was already usable, but resource usage was still noticeably higher than some competitors, such as OptiOS 11. That’s where Tomex OS Pro enters the picture.

⚠️ Disclaimer
Modified or optimized Windows builds remove core security features and update mechanisms. These systems are best suited for offline use, gaming, or experienced users who understand the trade-offs. Always test on non-critical systems and keep backups of important data.
🔐 What Makes Tomex OS Pro Different From the Free Version
Tomex OS Pro is not publicly distributed in the same way as the standard version. Access was originally provided through Tomex’s own channel membership system, where users received a download link and an installation key.
One important clarification needs to be made here:
This ISO is not freely redistributable, and it should not be shared without permission. Looking for leaked copies is unnecessary, especially when good free alternatives already exist.
That aside, the Pro version focuses on more aggressive trimming and optimization compared to the standard release.
📦 ISO Size and First Impressions
The first noticeable improvement comes even before installation.
- Tomex OS Standard ISO: nearly 4 GB
- Tomex OS Pro ISO: around 2.8 GB
This is a significant reduction. A smaller ISO usually means:
- Fewer bundled components
- Less preinstalled software
- Faster installation
So right from the start, things are moving in the right direction.
⚙️ Installation Experience: Fast and Refreshingly Simple
Installation is almost identical to the standard version, with just one extra step.
During setup, you are asked to enter a key/password, which is provided to legitimate Pro users. Apart from that, the process remains very simple.
Unlike stock Windows 11 installations, you are not forced through:
- Microsoft account setup
- AI feature configuration
- Endless privacy permission screens
Instead, it’s mostly:
- Next
- Next
- Install
The entire installation typically finishes in under five minutes, which is something many users genuinely appreciate.
🎨 First Boot and Interface Choices
Once the system boots for the first time, it uses a light theme by default. This is a personal preference issue, but many users—including myself—switch to a dark theme immediately to reduce eye strain.
Theme choice aside, the real focus here is performance.
📊 Resource Usage: Where Tomex OS Pro Really Shines
This is where the Pro version clearly separates itself from the standard edition.
Fresh boot resource usage (Pro version)
- RAM usage: ~1.1 GB
- Background processes: ~62
For comparison:
- Tomex OS Standard: ~1.7 GB RAM, ~81 processes
- Stock Windows 11: ~3 GB RAM (or more) with no apps installed
Even after installing drivers and a few games, Tomex OS Pro typically settles around:
- 1.3 GB RAM
- ~72 processes
That is extremely light for a Windows-based system.
At this point, Tomex OS Pro finally stands neck-and-neck with OptiOS 11, whereas the standard Tomex OS clearly lagged behind.
✂️ What Has Been Removed or Disabled
To reach this level of efficiency, Tomex OS Pro removes or disables many components.
The system comes without:
- Microsoft AI apps
- Weather, Mail, Maps
- Cortana
- Paint 3D
More importantly, unlike the standard version:
- Windows Defender is fully removed, not just disabled
- Windows Updates are paused by default
This explains the lower resource usage. Updates can still be enabled manually, but doing so will naturally increase background activity.
🎮 Gaming-Focused Essentials That Are Still Included
Despite aggressive trimming, Tomex OS Pro still includes everything required for gaming and general compatibility.
Out of the box, it comes with:
- Visual C++ Redistributables
- DirectX
- .NET Framework
The Microsoft Store is also included, which is useful for users who own games or apps tied to Microsoft accounts.
There is also an optional WebView component, which some Microsoft services and game launchers rely on for login and validation. It runs in the background, so if you don’t face login issues, you can simply avoid installing it.
🚀 Built-In Launchers: A Great Idea That Currently Doesn’t Work
One of the most interesting features—introduced in the standard version and expanded in Pro—is the launcher downloader system.
Originally, this allowed users to automatically download:
- Steam
- Epic Games Launcher
- League of Legends
- Valorant
In Tomex OS Pro, this idea was expanded further with a game launcher that could download and set up games like:
- GTA
- Minecraft
- Counter-Strike
All with one click, already optimized.
On paper, this is fantastic.
Unfortunately, this feature is currently broken.
❌ Why the Launcher Feature Is Broken
The scripts used by these launchers rely on GoFile, the hosting service where the required files were stored.
GoFile changed its backend behavior, and as a result:
- Download links no longer work
- Scripts fail with errors
- Launchers cannot fetch files
This isn’t a design flaw, but rather a dependency issue. Still, from a user perspective, the feature is unusable right now.
It’s a shame, because this was one of Tomex OS Pro’s most practical and user-friendly ideas.
🌐 Workaround: Games Are Still Available
Even though the built-in launcher doesn’t work, the games themselves are still accessible.
Users can manually download them from Opti’s official site:
https://www.optijuegos.net/
It’s not as convenient as a one-click launcher, but it works.
🛠️ Additional Tools and Scripts Included
As with other Opti-based systems, Tomex OS Pro includes several small utilities and scripts:
- Driver detection tools
- Lightweight apps like 7-Zip and CPU-Z
- Steam installer
- Optimization scripts
- Appearance tweaks
- Optional Cortana re-enable scripts
These are extras, but useful ones, especially for users who like fine-tuning their systems.
⚖️ Final Opinion: Is Tomex OS Pro Worth It?
From a technical standpoint, Tomex OS Pro is clearly:
- Lighter than the standard version
- Faster to boot
- Much lower on RAM and process usage
In terms of raw performance, it finally competes directly with OptiOS 11.
However, the broken launcher system is a real drawback. If that feature is fixed through an update or patch, Tomex OS Pro becomes a very strong option. Without it, the difference between Tomex OS Pro and OptiOS 11 becomes much smaller—especially considering OptiOS 11 is freely available.
Supporting a creator by using Tomex OS Pro makes sense if you value the project and its direction. From a purely practical standpoint, both systems currently offer very similar experiences.
🧠 Closing Thoughts
Tomex OS Pro shows how good a lightweight Windows system can be when done right. The foundation is solid, performance is excellent, and the vision is clear. All that’s missing is a small fix—but that fix matters.
If Tomex or Opti releases a patch for the launcher issue, this system could easily become a favorite among performance-focused users.
