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.

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.

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.

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.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
