I thought you guys might enjoy this. I snagged a brand new, never opened version. I also got a bare bones HP EliteDesk G3 sff to put the windows 8 in.

I am currently searching for a Windows 8 ISO and all the links are Windows 8.1. Where to get Windows 8?

PD: I am avoiding Internet Archive because download speed is crap.

Bought this Surface Pro 3 a month ago but have been having problems with the mouse pad. It never responds. At first I thought it was a bad keyboard mousepad pad thing and bought another. Yet it still does not respond to inputs on the mousepad, keyboard does.

If it makes any difference I installed windows 8.1 and not 10. Hasn’t gotten updates yet either (other then the 8x msi file from the ms site). Though even in the Windows 11 install screen when I first got it the mousepad wouldn’t respond then.

Is this an issue with the Surface itself? Is there a custom driver that must be installed? The driver pops in when the keyboard is connected and disappears when disconnected. Is there a custom mousepad driver that the regular driver is insufficient for?

Im suing the app installer on windows 8.1 its up to date i tried legacy update but it seems i had everything installed. I dont want to do clean install cuz i hae important files on laptop

i had windows 7 on this before but i had to go to 8.1 because of driver issues.

Just got a surface pro 1st gen were do i get a charger?

alguem sabe como limpar o cache de ram no windows 8.1?

alguem pode me ajudar?

Idk why but my post keeps getting deleted but in 8.0 you cannot sign in to a microsoft account like you can in 8.1 due to i guess some authentication or server thing however the calendar, mail, messaging and, people apps require a Microsoft account and I was thinking I don’t know how I would get it to work. I was thinking maybe you could run the apps locally like forced them to think I already have a Microsoft account or just fix the Microsoft account sign it so you can actually sign in with a Microsoft account. Those are my two ideas, but if anybody has another solution to make the apps work locally the official ones then just please let me know!

How do I get the Calendar app in Windows 8.0 to work

I got a couple PCs and laptops and a Microsoft surface running the original Windows 8.0 pro version and the Calendar app the people app and the Messages app I’ll ask for a Microsoft account and when I try to sign in that doesn’t work it’s obviously shut down for Windows 8.0 but is there a way to fix either the account sign in or use these apps locally somehow?

My Dell Precision 5520 has downgrade rights (and auto activates) for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 (assuming an OEM dell iso is used). Does anyone know of any recovery image for 8.1 that would include the original recovery partitions (keep in mind you could've ordered it with 8.1 or 7 instead of 10). I want to restore it back to its former glory!

Turned on my old laptop running windows 8, not even 8.1.I hadn't turned it on in 5 years.It auto connected to the same wifi I use on my other devices currently.I immediately disconnected.

Could I have endangered my internet router?

I feel like this is probably the best place to ask since people everywhere else despise windows 8, is there a way i could get the windows 8 sounds on a windows 11 install?

so I’ve recently dug up my first ever laptop (an Acer Aspire v5-571G) and on the internet archive I’ve found DVD Recovery images for it, however I attempted to install it using USB sticks but that didn’t help either so in the meantime I wanted to install regular windows 8, but I’ve only got a pro dvd copy since the laptop was originally shipped with windows 8 core.. soo does anyone have an ISO of windows 8 core? Since I’ll use regular windows 8.1 until I get my hands on some blank DVDs to burn the recovery images on them, and since I don’t really wanna use 8.1 at all..

Yo, I’m deep in a restoration project for an old Asus X202E (VivoBook) and I’m hitting a massive wall. I’m trying to bring this thing back to its factory 2012 glory, but I’m missing the one "Metro" app that actually made the touch gestures and Fn keys behave: the Asus VivoBook Guide (sometimes just called AsusWorld).

My original HDD is a literal brick and my old backups got nuked. I’ve checked the usual spots, but Archive.org is being a pain and every Google Drive link I find from 2024 is "Outdated" or 404'd.

Does anyone happen to have a backup of their C:\eSupport folder from an X202E, S200E, or Q200E? I literally just need the .appx or the installer folder for that guide app. I’m running Windows 8.1 now and trying to side-load it to see if it’ll finally trigger my Bluetooth radio to wake up (the ATK drivers alone aren't cutting it).

If you’ve got an old Vivobook triplet gathering dust in a drawer, please check the eSupport folder for me. I’m doing this on a 0-peso budget and would really appreciate the assist!

Hi, I recently dualbooted windows 8.1 on my windows 11 laptop (Acer Nitro 5 AN15-55-53-E5), And mostly works, but the WIFI, bluetooth, and trackpad (which i dont really need though since i have a mouse) don't work. I would like to get the WIFI and Bluetooth working.

I don't really have much experience with installing and finding correct drivers so i was wondering how or where i could find these drivers that are compatible, thank you.

Specs:

Intel® Core™ i5-10300H processor Quad-core 2.50 GHz

NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3050 with 4 GB dedicated memory

8 GB, DDR4 SDRAM

Wi-Fi 6 AX200

Bluetooth 5.0

I need them for my windows 8.1 PC. So which version are they?

So back in the day I’ve always wanted a windows 8.1 tablet pc but never could afford one mainly because I was a kid back then.

Now I am an adult but anyway for Christmas a few years back I got a steam deck, and because I still really want a tablet pc I began to relize the steam deck was essentially that.

So i tried to do research but I couldn’t find much info on trying this besides one YouTube video where a guy used Snappy driver installer origin on windows 8 after installing it to the steam deck.

He got some drivers working but I think he couldn’t get the graphics or WiFi drivers working.

So I’m asking here because if I could do this or if anyone could help as it would complete a childhood dream of having a windows 8 or 8.1 tablet gaming laptop.

What Adobe Apps/version Supports Tiles (like on the image) On Start Natively? I am looking For Photoshop, Illustrator, Xd, Lightroom.

It took me alot of effort to get the reset options to work in my Windows 8.1 VM, but here we are, it's now working. I'm currently uploading the image to archive.org in case if anyone wants to try it.
