    Still not understand with tutorial given you.
    Ambidav wrote (first page) to make Win 8.1 AIO (with the Enterprise version) with 6 subfolders. While Bodmas wrote (Page 101) to make Win 8.1 Pro (it seems WMC version with x64 only) with 5 subfolders, integration update files (x64 only), Windows activation and .NET 3.5 feature.
    How to integrate Win 8.1 (without the Enterprise version) along with the update files (x86 and x64)? Thanks. (Sorry, I'm begineer with this deployment)

    please specify what you want and I will guide you from beginning to end.
    if you know how to mount and unmount the windows image indexes and you only want to learn how to integrate updates file the please mention here this info:

    full path of mount directory?
    full path of updates directory
    if 32 bits or 64 bits or both?

    example of updates integration:

    mount the image and type this command for updates integration.
    Code:
     Dism /Image:E:\win81\mount /Add-Package[FONT=&amp] /PackagePath:E:\win81\packages\Windows8.1-KB2862152-x64.msu  [/FONT][FONT=&amp]/PackagePath:E:\win81\packages\Windows8.1-KB2868626-x64.msu[/FONT][FONT=&amp] /PackagePath:E:\win81\packages\Windows8.1-KB2884846-x64.msu[/FONT][FONT=&amp]  /PackagePath:E:\win81\packages\Windows8.1-KB2900986-x64.msu  [/FONT]
    this command will integrate each updates in accordance of the above mentioned order. you can add all your updates with adding like above. each color is for each update. color is for indicating purpose only.

    rest you know how to proceed further.
    you have to mount for each index and integration of updates for each mounted index.

    please be clear; what indexes you want.
    core, pro, pro with wmc?

    suppose you want the following 6 indexes:
    1. Win 8.1 core x86
    2. Win 8.1 pro x86
    3. Win 8.1 pro with WMC x86
    4. Win 8.1 core x64
    5. Win 8.1 pro x64
    6. Win 8.1 pro with WMC x64

    then guide is here:

    create a folder named Win81aio in your E drive and create 6 subfolders in it namely x86, x64, Win81, Mount, Packages86, Packages64
    View attachment 27268
    Next extract your windows 8.1 32bit iso to the win81 folder then move the install.wim from win81\sources to the x86 folder

    extract your windows 8.1 64bit iso and copy its install.wim to thex64 folder
    Now place all your 32 bits update files (msu files) to Packeges86 folder
    place all your 64 bits update files (msu files) to Packeges64 folder

    Then open Deployment and imaging tools CMD as administrator and enter the following command 1 at a time

    Code:
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:e:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:e:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /compress:maximum
     
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:e:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:e:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1 Pro" /compress:maximum

    I have my Windows 8.1 AIO with x64 Recovery Mode.
    What is the best way to integrate only the Update 1 without updating everything and maybe break my Recovery Mode ?
    Updating will change only INSTALL.WIM or also the BOOT ?

    The first page states, "extract your windows 8.1 32bit iso to the win81 folder then move the install.wim from win81\sources to the x86 folder extract your windows 8.1 64bit install.wim to the x64 folder". Which ISO's are those? Do I need the Pro or Core or Pro VL to extract from.
    Thank you

    It seems more difficult to activate with a script while installing. I'm thinking it maybe simpler to run cody's tool or one of the kms solutions after installation.
    I want to make an AIO of all flavors of 8.1 and include a folder with instructions or tools to activate.
    Thank you

    It's the Retail ISO you need, which is simply named 'Windows 8.1' and holds Pro (Index 1) and Core (Index 2) in the WIM.

    So, the procedure is to install from AIO disc?
    During installation, I'll be asked for a key? Type in gVLK key?
    Run MS Toolkit to activate every 180 days?

    To get the choice what version to install, an ei.cfg file is needed, so key input becomes optional likewise.

    Well, I'm following the instructions on page one of this thread which has a cfg file that allows any version to be installed.
    So, if I follow the instructions on page one, I don't need to use a key?
    If I use MS Toolkit, I don't need to use any command line kms?

    Yes, you don't need a key.

    Yes, you don't need to use any command line

    When I get to ...
    Dism /Image:C:\win81aio\mount /Get-TargetEditions
    ...it tells me that it is unable to access the image. So, I tried to delete everything and start from scratch. It tells me it can't
    delete the info in the MOUNT folder because I don't have administrator rights. I'm the only one on this laptop. I have administrator
    rights. I have to launch Linux to delete the mount folder.

    I start from scratch. when I get to the line to add Media Center, it tells me it can't mount the image because it's already mounted.
    How can it be mounted when I deleted it.
    When I get to ...
    Dism /Image:C:\win81aio\mount /Get-TargetEditions
    it tells me it can't find the image.

    So, it seems the developer kit wont even let me start over. Is this laptop damned to not be able to use the developer kit again?
    Do I have to delete the developer kit or would there still be an image stored somewhere?
