Windows 8

I'm a big fan of everything that gets achieved here, however I was running into an issue that I think will start popping up in a few places. There seems to now be 4 updates for Windows 8.1 that have LDR Updates (update-bf.mum) available; Normally LDR updates can be integrated using DISM by pointing to the extracted update-bf.mum. However I ran into some trouble attempting to integrate these updates using Add-WindowsPackage PowerShell Module. Considering PowerShell should provide most of the DISM functions i was curious if LDR Updates are possible with Add-WindowsPackage. Otherwise I yet to find a powershell equivalent of a couple of other functions, but that could b…

Are there any? I've started to update to 8.1 installation now that you can get the W8 OEM key from the BIOS with a handy tool. However, when testing the image I've made, the old W8 keys I had do not work anymore. Again this is not for activation only temporary/trial install. Core and Pro since that's what customers at work use.

Just Curious; Does WinToolKit use Dism or Pkgmgr to integrate updates on Windows 8?

Hey @Mov AX, 0xDEAD I want to try my hand at debugging an A5 BSOD on Windows 8.0 that I get on my Threadripper system, although I'm a complete novice at doing this. I want to try and trace to find the exact cause of the A5 BSOD on my hardware. It happens even in the windows 8.0 PE environment. Can you show me how to get started on this? Windows 8.0 has native kdnet support at least so that should be easier to get started with I think.

I've generated an `AutoUnattend.xml` file using `Windows System Image Manager` program that is included in the `WAIK` package (now called `ADK` for Windows 8/8.1) to install Windows 8.1 in a unattended way. Now I would like to add an attribute in my `AutoUnattend.xml` file to automatically select the OS Edition that I want to install, to bypass the OS selection screen. I know that this screen can be bypassed 'cause I've seen it in other Unattended Windows ISO's but I don't know how to do it. In the image file that I've uploaded there is the screen that I would like to bypass by automatically selecting the unique Windows image edition that exists in the image (Which is…

Anybody know why Microsoft declares MS Office 2003 incompatible with Windows 8--other than to goose MSO sales? MSO 2003 installs fine on my Windows 8 Pro and Word, Excel and PowerPoint all seem to launch correctly and save files. Just curious if there is some unknow issue lurking before I put it on a production unit. I've searched the net and seen the incompatibility warnings but no explanation.

I won't be able to uninstall the updates, but are there any other consequences?
