Windows 8.1 RTM Pro/Enterprise original iso's will be leaked by Wzor


Recommended Posts

Will anybody plz help me in getting the .net framework 3.5 installed in 8.1 rtm leak?

you have to force it to install via the command line. the exact command you need slips my mind though atm sorry

I downloaded the 8.1 Enterprise x64 iso and the upgrade feature worked just fine.  I had all my settings, applications, etc after install.  It took about 20-25 minutes from start to finish.

 

That being said, it won't activate yet using my Windows 8 Enterprise key.

Same here. Has anyone been able to activate it using an enterprise key (mine is from technet)?

Turn Windows features on / off  didn't work for me, as already suggested, drop to elevated command line and:

Or, you can use the Windows installation media as the file source when you enable the .NET Framework 3.5 feature. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 installation media.
  2. At an elevated command prompt, run the following command:
    Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:<drive>:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
    Note In this command, <drive> is a placeholder for the drive letter for the DVD drive or for the Windows 8 installation media. For example, you run the following command:
    Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

I was able to activate my Windows 8.1, using my Windows 8 Bios KEY.

 

1) Get your Windows8 OEM/BIOS Key using a program like SIW Pro.

 

2) Continue to install 8.1 like normal (full format) and when asked for a serial enter one THAT IS NOT AT ALL FLOATING ROUND THE INTERNET. (DO NOT ENTER YOUR OWN)

There are 2 different keys

For Windows 8.1 Core
For Windows 8.1 Professional 

Use the one for your Computer which you originally got. So if you had Windows 8, not Pro, select that one.


3) When you reach the desktop you will notice you are not activated this is fine! Right click the start button and choose "Command Prompt (admin)"
4) Enter slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (Replace the Green X's with your RETAIL/OEM Windows 8 key)

5) Restart PC once the box comes up saying "success"
6) Restart PC and done.

 

Your PC will now be fully activated using your own OEM Key.

Just an update on my Surface Pro. Found out why it wasn't booting off USB, it wasn't a UEFI bootable USB drive. So I installed vanilla Windows 8 back onto it and from there was able to reimage the Surface Pro using my backup :) All is well! my SP recovery partition is screwed however.

 

Installed Windows 8.1 on my desktop, went without a hitch. It's running beautifully!

Just extract the ISO to the surface pro and run setup.exe from there. No need to boot from a USB drive.

I cant get this string to work, I point it to my external hard drive nothing happens, I point it to my DVD drive and my drive just keeps spinning. and nothing happens. And 2 question...I installed my Win 8 keys and I'm activated, but I still have a water mark. And as you can see in the pic I posted why does it say that my SecureBoot is not configured correctly?

So don't enter a CD key that is not your own and also do not enter your own?

I'd recommend you take the 8.1 ISO file, double click it to mount it, run an elevated command prompt and enter command pointing to mounted ISO drive as it took several minutes for me to complete, will take much longer on an external HDD or DVD drive. "SecureBoot isn't configured correctly" is just as it says, you have to configure Secure boot in your UEFI BIOS. If it's disabled, enable it. If you can't find that option, check for a BIOS update.

Looks like it isn't finding the files? Does it eventually give an error?

So don't enter a CD key that is not your own and also do not enter your own?

 

The keys floating around do not activate themselves, but allow you to install OK. But you dont enter your own OEM/BIOS key here, as it wont install.

 

THEN

 

You follow the rest of the steps, entering your own key in cmd like I said. Win 8.1 will then use your OEM/BIOS Key and be fully activated.

Yes. Did this with my 8.1 preview VM. Worked fine, but only had the option to keep my files. All apps must be reinstalled.

 

That's fine, I just have to grab my tablets OEM key so I can activate after or did it not ask you for a key at all?

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
