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


Recommended Posts

When I updated from the last leak that I had installed, I didn't lose anything at all the only way I knew that 8.1 RTM was installed was by the watermark. Is that suppose to happen?

has anyone actually done a proper "upgrade" without loosing files.

on 8.1 pro

i never had the choice, 

 

 

You can't with the current ISO's

 

the ISO only allows install. if you add the ei.cfg that allows ugprades to the install. it will fail because it uses your existing windows key to verify the install. and as we all know, you need the leaked keys to install, so it will stop with an error that your key is invalid.

 

since I pretty much just reinstalled windows due to HDD changes, I'm waiting for a proper upgradeable install, as there's absolutely no reason for me to reinstall from scratch. and no I buy into the whole "you should always to a clean install" BS. never had an issue with it, not on an NT based windows OS anyway. 

 

Actually you could probably do an upgrade if you used the cmd command to change your windows key to the leaked one, then ran the upgrade, then changed your key again.

Worked for me.. downloaded the iso and mount it. Open the setup and in replace for settings and apps was available for me

Thats not an upgrade ... thats just keeping your metro apps, not your installed programs ... those have to be re-installed again

So you're calling me a liar? Oomgz Office 2013, imgburn, chrome magically installed on its own i guess...  Clearly you havent even installed 8.1 from the sounds of it. 

As I stated before, worked fine for me also.on 3 separate systems

You have US english windows ? could be an issue with anyone installing english windows outside of the US will automatically be given UK english version by the automatic installer. 

The original Windows 8 editions were:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8 Pro
  • Windows 8 Enterprise

Which version of 8.1 did they manage to leak? "Pro" doesn't appear to have leaked, at least with "Pro" in the name.

When you change your installation key to your retail key, the watermark is removed.

I installed the media center package and used that key and I still have a watermark

Did you try to copy the source files to your HDD and run the command with those source files?

no I didn't, let me try that see what happens. I'm getting to the point where I just want to wipe this bitch clean, start fresh.

 

Do you mean the source file or the sxs files?

Windows 8 (Core) and Windows 8 Pro are both available in the same leaked ISO. All three editions leaked.

sxs

 

edit: Here is the KB about the issue btw:

If it fails there is an alternative solution in there via gpedit

Still didn't fix the black window border/titlebar text problem.

I am afraid there are some things that Microsoft will never fix such as the one you mention,

or having forgotten icons deep inside the OS from previous versions of Windows,

or replacing the system icons that now is a mix of Vista & 7 icons,

or  improving the font smoothing,

or  removing the hideous explorer borders

or add basic functionality to core metro apps

or...

I use a reg hack to make the border width smaller:

Thx Neobond.I was aware of the hack.In fact i am using it.

 

I was reffering more to a completely borderless look of the explorer like Office 2013 has.

Any one using 8.1 having issues with dual monitors? It only seems to see one of mine, I haven't imaged the drive yet so can't go back to Windows 8 to test, I am thinking it may be the 326 beta drivers I am using, though it was best to use them as they were for the 8.1 preview, is it safe to use the WHQL drivers?

So what is the difference between RTM and these versions right here? Why should it be worth installing this version over RTM? Pls answer someone..

There is no difference? The leaked .iso files are the RTM version.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
