Where can I find a stripped-down build of win7 in the trash?
There is a nobuk, more or less modern, albeit low-powered. I'm trying to find the easiest axis for it to place a couple of tiny VMs on it. RAM is only 2GB, of which 1.6 is available somewhere (the rest is eaten by vidyuha). In general, ideally, I am ready to allocate about 200 MB of RAM purely for the axis.
At first I looked at light linux, but there is either a complete disaster with drivers (in particular, Wi-Fi, which is critically needed, alas, I can’t write and configure them) and rdp, or initially it takes more than 500 MB of RAM.
In addition to full-fledged distributions, I tried xenserver, it also eats a lot of memory.
And in general, I don’t have enough knowledge on linux, so I decided to move on to plan B. In addition, linux hypervisors have difficulties with forwarding equipment to VM.
Plan b
win2003 and XP - all of a sudden, also a problem with drivers, specifically for network cards, they just fall into the bluescreen, regardless of the version and developer of the installed driver.
Plan B
So far, only wines 7,8,10 remain - but they initially gobble up memory again. At least there are no problems with firewood.
Finally, the question is: Where can I find a castrated Windows purely for launching VBox, or an instruction that says how to cut off everything in general (services, components, etc.), so that the state is on the verge of a dying invalid, but at the same time how does it work?

bare server core eats 180 mb, but you can stick hyperve on it. And there will be problems with the Wi-Fi drivers.
plan D - repurchase of RAM
plan I - learn Linux.
