Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
Tiny10 and Tiny11 were debloated stand-alone ISO's by a developer who chose some of the most despised default features & apps, and removed them in advance from the install media. Based on media from recent years these are still available, but appear to have been surpassed by the more versatile "Builder" approach where you can do more of a personal selection of extraneous features to retain or eliminate.
So now it's "Tiny11 Builder" which is like a template script you select your features from, and you have to supply your own Windows ISO which you download from Microsoft:
https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder
After the process is complete you end up with your own custom Tiny11 ISO, debloated according to the Powershell builder script.
Using your Tiny11 ISO no differently than the original ISO from Microsoft, you can then clean-install that same debloated version on target PC's instead.
Once installed, it does have a smaller resource footprint, but this is Windows 11 so it's never going to be exactly "tiny".
Alternatively, Ameliorated seems to have taken a similar path to Tiny11, also for Windows 10 as well:

So you're removing the possible access to play my old games I bought?
It's on Github, but you have to provide your own Windows ISO for legal reasons.

New Update allows you to adjust how much RAM is pre-assigned for the GPU (way easier than doing it manually via BIOS)
Something like Tiny11 (or its builder tool, which is easier to audit than a pre-built ISO) should do?

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.

Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

Ask HN: How do you “clean” Windows from all bloatware?
I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

I missed the old windows so i tried to recreate it
Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.
What are some alternatives?
