    WOW! DAZ has started secret project :eek::p

    BTW, nice simulation of a genius's work but experienced eyes can check certain hints about it....:biggrin5:

    -DAZ will not jump to 2.7 directly for version number of Windows 8 loader. It may start from 1.0 if it ever made by DAZ :)
    -Check date added. 9 Feb 2012......WOW!!! DAZ has Windows 8 loader even before release of Windows 8 Release Preview :eek:
    -Check rating. DAZ loader can't get 3.3/3. It would have 5/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :eek:
    -DAZ uploads Windows 7 loader in zip format, not rar :cool:
    -DAZ link source can't be youtube/fu*ktube, it would have our beloved MDL :)

    Newbie Guide


    1. Install Windows 8 Pro with this key: Professional = xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-CRYQH – retail key


    2. Now move mouse to lower RIGHT corner of your screen and from the settings (icon - cogwheel) select 'PC Info'
    2.1. Click on "Get more features with a new edition of Windows"


    3. Select "I already have a product key", enter the WMC key. Professional WMC = xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-QGJXW - retail key for Windows Media Center


    4. Wait WMC instalation


    5. In the View tab of the Folder Options dialog box, there are two options you need to check:
    5.1 "Hidden files and folder": select "Show hidden files, folders and drives"
    5.2 Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"


    6. Replace the file data.dat in the store folder with the data.dat in this attachment. Store folder is in windows\system32\spp.


    7. Move your mouse to lower LEFT corner of you desktop and RIGHT CLICK, select Command Prompt (admin) then type in the prompt window:


    slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx


    Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx is YOUR OWN WMC Key


    8. Activate your Windows:
    8.1 Move mouse to lower RIGHT corner of your screen and from the settings (icon - cogwheel) select 'PC Info'
    8.2 Click ACTIVATE

    Random question. I have a Pro Key, cost £25.

    Also, have input my Pro WMC Key and am now running Windows 8 Pro with WMC.

    Does this mean the WMC Key can now be used to activate Windows now it has been activated? (After an OS reinstall)
