Im searching a windows 8.1 iso ho download fast for that NO ARCHIVE.ORG (mirror germany or spain)

So I recently got a new laptop and I looked at my old one and I was like: "Let's downgrade this thing to Win 8.1" So I did it, but now I have driver issues. I can't use Bluetooth, can't connect to the internet and there are probably some other issues. Does anyone know what I can do, because I'm really bad at finding drivers.

I switch operating systems on my PC every two weeks or so so want to try out Windows 8 next.

I’m trying to install Windows 8 on my Dell Optiplex 9020 but when I boot from my flash drive, I get a blue screen, it pops up so fast and goes away before I can see it. I’ve tried messing with the UEFI seiings and this and that but it doesn’t work.

All help is appreciated.

Hi all,

Back when Windows 8 was in the market, I used it strictly as a desktop OS and, yeah, I disliked it.

But nowadays I am rediscovering it and am finding it to be a surprisingly competent and daresay beautiful OS. So, I thought to myself, "I have a few spare euros, can I actually experience Win 8 in its full glory?"

So, my question is, what hardware tablet or touch laptop would you suggest me to try and find on second-hand online marketplaces, which would enable me to experience win8 in its full glory, as the Redmond decreed it to be (tm)?

Obviously, this is just to scratch an itch, not to do actual work. I am looking for something which was mass-produced enough to have a chance to be found 12 years later, with good enough specs (I don't want a cheap netbook wanna-be, I want the best), and something which is relatively cheap nowadays.

Any suggestions? Maybe some Surface Pro or Dell or Lenovo ThinkPad? I honestly don't know what hardware was the best in that era and Google is not very helpful.

I was looking through my stuff and found an old Wacom tablet, quickly memories came flooding my mind, I thought of using it, any good digital art programs for Windows 8/8.1 ? Preferably free but paid is also ok

Hello r/windows8, i am trying to sideload some apps from a post about OEM apps, but one of the apps require the bundle "Win.JS.1.0.RC", which I can't seem to find anywhere online, does anybody have this bundle? If so, can they archive it?

I need to download windows 8.X It does not matter if its 8/8.1. Where can i download it?

I had a windows 11 pc, but i cooked the fries and all because i had it on dirt all day, and now i only have this old windows 8 PC that i cant even play roblox because of support ending, is there anyway i can get steam to work in windows 8 i've seen various tutorials but they didn't work for me.

(The flair is "Bug" because i couldn't find any related flair)

So I have a Dell Optiplex 780 USFF that I installed windows 8.1 on. Beside the fact that it sometimes lagged and threw bluescreens with error codes like "bad_pool_header" or "memory_management" it worked fine. Recently it started to do that more often, and I was tired of it, so I opened the pc up and got rid of all of the dust possible, I took out the CPU, RAM, etc, blew out everything and slapped it all back together. It worked but only for a few days, cause yesterday it threw at me a memory_management bluescreen and a few other ones. I opened up the pc, took out RAM, and both slots were filled up with dust (idk how but okay), I blew everything off, slapped everything back together, and now it just bootlops with showing the "IO1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" bluescreen and enters automatic repair. I tried to boot that SSD on a diffrent pc and I got exactly same thing happening. I have also alreday tried fixing bootloader in cmd few times but that did not work. Anyone can help?

I've looking for windows 8.1 All in One (x32/x64) Iso, i found some isos but i don't know if it's safe, where i can download it safetly? Microsoft sucks, they removed old Windows versions from their site.

that lets you run windows 10 win32 apps? maybe even uwp?

I am curious about that can I use 8.1 drivers on server I tried install it and use GPU driver worked but I cant get the sound wifi and Bluetooth. Right now I am gonna try deploying drivers directly to the iso. What can I also try.

IK i have made another post not long ago, but my curiosity is peaking rn. Does anybody have the OG image with no ui of the ferris wheel background that appears in the windows 8 photos app? I reverse searched it and found nothing sadly. And if you do, could they send it to me or in the comments?

Alot of the posts on here abt sideloading metro apps are about doing it on 8.1, but I have to ask. Is it possible to sideload on Windows 8.0? Because I haven't seen anything on this subreddit about it. And if you can, is it a specific version of windows 8.0 like with 8.1 (needing to use embedded industry enterprise)

I dont have any social media except yt and 80% of the Reason why i visit or use reddit is for this sub reddit and its not good to know this sub reddit does not allow videos or Gif from being uploaded(while windows 11 and Windows reddit allows to upload).. For me , I lost interest with Posting on windows 11 and windows Sub Reddits because in most cases, they lock topics(which i create) much faster and most of the times, they wont even approve posts, this sub reddit allows freedom which is awesome but the Limits of not allowing users to upload Gif or videos is bad, Can you guys lift this limit so we can keep the End of 2024 interesting and Celebrate 2nd year Jan 10, 2025 (without Microsoft updates) for Win 8.1 with more Fun topics?

Also how do you guys upload yt videos here ? if i attempt to post, on this area, only yt link gets shown, how do people get the embedded yt player showing up ? do we need to add embed links or do we need to have higher karma to gain the Permission to be able to share yt videos ?

Also, Do you think official Employees from Microsoft will be Monitoring all Windows Sub Reddits or Everything on Reddit related to Windows is unofficial ?

I found my old surface rt and I bought a charger for it and if still won't turn on and there is no indication that it is charging but I don't know how to fix it

how do i get windows 8 im trying to put windows 8 on a vary old laptop (dell latitude d600) it has a intel petium m and 1.5 gb ram is there a way to bypass windows 8 system requirements?

Earlier I was installing radeon latest drivers (I think it was 17.7.1) after installing only taskbar was visible, all icons and cursor gone. After restarting I was greeted with green colored screen, so I went to my restore point and tried installing drivers via Microsoft update in settings and still the same.

Thanks for any suggestions.

All the drivers for the touchpad and touchscreen appear to be for Windows 10 only, from Lenovo's website. Are there any available for Windows 8.1?

I haven't run windows in years, went Mac for a little bit and now full time Linux. I kinda want a partition for updating camera firmware, maybe old games and try some older pre subscription versions of Photoshop and other RAW editors. If I wanted to physically use 8/8.1 - as it's genuinely the only windows I ever liked - how at risk, making sure I never enter bank details, am I?

Hello guys, I just wanted to ask if someone has an iso of Windows 8.1 with all the drivers installed, because when I installed it the network and Bluetooth and touchpad didn't work :(
