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


Recommended Posts

Not true...

Are you sure? The disc has a full Windows image, the store update is supposed to be just an huge update. When you upgrade from Discs it will be probably be just like upgrading from 7 to 8, from the Store it'll be just like installing a service pack without programs installations being messed with.

 

 

People make a big deal out of not giving it to MSDN/TechNet right away but how have they handled SPs in the past?  Did MSDN get those right away when the OEMs did or was there a delay as well?  I know the general public never got SPs right off the bat either so it's nothing new in that regard with 8.1.

 

Honestly I think it's no big deal, developers do have the preview and I doubt any major API changes have been made from preview to rtm so from that side it's still the same.  Maybe MS will change it's mind and give it to developers, a bit later, maybe mid Sept.

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

It doesn't do anything, I just see my dvd drive working but nothing is happening.

Using an external CD ROM mine took about 12 minutes to complete. On another note, I run Emsisoft Anti-malware and it picks up the following:

 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSAC3ENC.DLL as a Gen:Variant.Graftor.6958(B) and classifies it as high risk. False positive possibly? Hopefully?

Edit: Does not pick it up on retail Win 8

Can anyone explain to me why in my watermark (actually why I even have a watermark now??) it says that SecureBoot isn't configured correctly???

 

 

Forget the secureboot question it's been answered already, didn't see it. But I would like to know I still have the watermark at all when my Win 8.1 is activated?

I don't have a external CD ROM...anybody know another way??

I already installed Windows 8.1 RTM, and for some reason it seems much faster than the Windows 8.1 Pro Preview.

That's what I want to hear... how much improvement as compare to Windows 7 in your opinion on a rough estimate..

I think that Windows 8.1 is much better than Windows 7 and Windows 8 combined. :)

You can also extract the .iso in windows and upgrade that way. Works just as well

Sorry I'm not sure what your talking about, but I have the RTM installed already I just want to get .NET 3.5 installed.

Anyone having any issues creating bootable USB or DVD for the installation? I just get an error on the last parts of the copy process.

 

Tried both USB and DVD. 

 

Also running directly from the ISO for an upgrade fails with "Something went wrong". Any tip?

Gonna install it tonight then... Thanks for a quick reply...

You're welcome, dude. 

 

Is there a way to activate it?

Yes. Just use your legitimate Windows 8 key. :)

You need to make sure it's activated. If you're 100% sure it's activated, just restart and see if that helps.

Just keep in mind guys that the RTM build that you're likely installing is according to Microsoft themselves, not up to snuff to run on production machines and needs a post RTM patch that they plan to put out via Windows Update.

Put this on my laptop last night and activated with my Win 8 key. Works great, however font on some things like windows and IE looks somewhat blurry kinda like the preview did. Start8, Decor8, and ModernMix work great too!

Sorry I'm not sure what your talking about, but I have the RTM installed already I just want to get .NET 3.5 installed.

 

If your still unable to install it manually as per the instructions I posted earlier, your other option is to download .NET framework offline installer. You can get it from here http://www.askvg.com/download-microsoft-net-framework-3-5-offline-installer-for-windows-8/

You need to make sure it's activated. If you're 100% sure it's activated, just restart and see if that helps.

I've restarted a couple of times already, and when I check in systems and security in systems it says that its activated.

Ok, I got it sorted. I attached the portable burner to a different computer. Not sure why that happened, but most like the AV software.

 

So now I'm running Win 8.1 activated with my original Win8 key. All is good and I'm really liking the changes that have been implemented!

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
