-'''Windows Validation OS''' (or '''WinVOS''') is a command-line operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released on 30 May 2022 only in the English language and was made for manufacturers to diagnose, mitigate and repair hardware defects that may occur during device development.
+'''Windows Validation OS''' (or '''WinVOS''') is a minimal [[Windows 11]]-based environment intended to be used by Windows device manufacturers as an aid during early hardware design. It is similar to [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]] in that it runs from a RAM disk and boots into a Command Prompt, although it is considerably more stripped down, leaving the bare essentials needed to bring up the Windows GUI and console.
