Hi guys, great work with this thread, keeping Win 8 alive! A far as I understood, it is possible to integrate Server 2012 updates into Win 8, but how and is there some sort of guide on how to start from a fresh ISO and get everything working? I saw that 2012 and 2012 R2 have the same EOL, so it would be possible to use Win 8 until 2026, with a reasonable level of security on my old laptop?
@exrvbhinjomk https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...too-many-updates-prior-to-january-2016.85789/ ESU updates (2023-11 and later) cannot be integrated offline.. without using BypassESU's Wim-Integration first unless they change the updates and block client editions, the updates will work until 2026
Thank you for your answer, really appreciated! Just to make sure that I get it right, it would be enough, if I don't want the added hassle to create an updated ISO, to just perform a live installation: Original Windows 8 (Industry Embedded) Enterprise ISO install -> install all these updates from his folder And then use Bypass ESU Blue to get the latest updates and then the WSUS Proxy for future ones? Does that make sense? If yes I would try it later.

Thanks, next time I'll update the NDP48 only for Windows 8.1. But how about monthly NDP48 and NDP481 for my Windows 10? Should I update both or just NDP481 only?
ESU patch integrated into .wim/.winre works great for: Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation ROK HP TR,EN,PT,ND,SV 20160129D Thank you abbodi1406
Thank you for this tip =) Combining these keys + cleaning datastore + one-time use WSUS proxy (BypassESU Blue v2 already installed) allows me update my ADDC servers with 2012R2. Also after this, i can change back WSUS setting to point my own local WSUS server (our company use WSUS to save traffic) and find new ESU updates. All other 2012R2 servers works great without using these keys, just BypassESU + WSUS proxy for initial scan and install.
