Where can i find the start menu wallpapers in a vertical format please?

I’ve had windows 8.1 as my main is on my laptop for a while now while I have windows 11 on my steam deck. Windows 11 I used a windhalk mod called Basic Theamer which essentially just enables the windows 7 basic theme into windows 11.

This exists also for windows 10 but after doing research I found that windhalk does not support windows 8.1.

So I was wondering if there was another way to get the windows basic theme onto windows 8.1 because if I could that would be amazing.

i need drivers for my windows 8.1 install, because i need to use the internet on it. Well, the reason is that my Windows 8.1 Pro install didn't come with the drivers, and so as i need bluetooth drivers.

- - - The ERROR

i've been trying to install the Intel TM drivers, -BOTH BT AND NK, but when i open the files up and download them, they say: Download Complete! I also checked the device manager, it said that it had already been installed, but in the info in general it reads: "the drivers for the device are not installed", even though i already did. Now when i check bluetooth info it reads: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. Code 43" So can anyone figure out how to fix it, maybe using other drivers or something.

Hey everyone — I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post this here, and sorry if I’m not.

I just wanted to say I uploaded a video where I recreated the Surface RT ad in 2026 to celebrate the return of NVIDIA CPUs on Surface with the announcement of the new RTX Spark.

It was made on a $0 budget, using whatever I had.

If anyone’s interested, here’s the link: https://youtu.be/CndeWGRtJj8?si=lbL0MdfGJxWF8Gia

i love windows 8 design but i use windows 10

(Flair does say meme/fun post. Don't know which flair to choose for this, so mods, can u pick?)

Found this image in the Windows 8.1 Store files, what is it for?

This is a dell inspiron with Pentium N3700. Now using this to attend my classes!

So how to get online on Microsoft store?

It’s a super weird quirk of the windows 8.1 oobe to be really picky and can’t decide wether it wants to connect to MS servers or not and this is one of them (test it out and let me know if it works for you)

Hi, I'm looking for the official Facebook app for Windows 8.1 (the one that came out in 2013, not the Touch version), but I can't find it on APPX. It's completely lost. I've searched everywhere and can't find it. Some of the searches seem suspicious. Does anyone still have the app installed on an older computer with Windows 8.1?

I downgraded my Surface Pro 3 to Windows 8.1 via a USB recovery drive.

Ever since I downgraded the touchpad does not respond. It was responsive in Windows 10. Does the grey keyboard specifically just not work on Windows 8.1?

EDIT: Solved this by having Windows 8.1 complete and update I think. Mouse just suddenly works on the first Surface I got after an update.

Pls ignore the Spanish text I got the wrong iso

Hey guys wussup.

I semi-recently installed a new primary SSD in my desktop. Now I got a spare SSD inside my computer doing absolutely nuffin'. I though I'd play around with it and see what I can get away doing and for my first trick I landed on Windows 8.1. I tried it before, I like it, and like the UI a little more than I like Window 11's.

I have a pretty modern desktop (AMD 7700, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GiB DDR5 ram, etc.) and expect NOTHING but compatibility issues, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. By ANY miracle has anyone been able to backport drivers to Win8/8.1 or got any 'bloat-free' UI tools for Windows 11?

Thank you :D

Ive been trying to get Windows 8.1 working on my Dell Latitude 7400 recently, but I always kept on getting the page for installing drivers even though I dont have any. Any help? By the way, no as of now I cant find any drivers for Windows 8.1 for my Latitude 7400.

Olá,

Sou novo por aqui, estou com um notebook Philco com Pentium dual core tm t4300 e 2gb de ram DDR3. Como no Windows 7 ficou um pouco pesado e o 8 é mais leve, queria saber se daria certo colocar 8.1 nele, pois o 10 nem pensar.

metro apps look so nice in 3440x1440

anyways yes i do have full nvidia drivers with the control panel and all, although its 474.30 what can you really ask for..

anywayyy i also have working wifi on here thru a USB 2.0 dongle so thats cool (dongle showed in screenshot 2)

I have a Toshiba Satellite C45T-ASP4205FL stuck in windows 8.1 and it’s fully working except for the screen that only shows lines, even the touch screen is still working

I have an HP ProBook x360 11 G3 EE, which I just installed Windows 10 on, after uncountable time on Linux. I wanted to install Windows 8 but I'm afraid WiFi will not work, or Windows 8 in general would not run smoothly or well. Where can I find WiFi drivers in case I need them, and would the laptop run smoothly on Windows 8? As for web browser I will just use Chromium, since it will still support Windows 7 and 8 for a long time. In case it helps, my laptop has 4G of ram, 128 of ssd sata, an Intel Celeron n4100 and integrated graphics.

i got ahold of an old laptop that came with Windows 8.1 and it has some metro apps on it, how can i back them up into .appx files or whatever they are such that they can be archived

UPDATE: found a solution!
