    This might help clear things up a little:

    What you see with msinfo32 ("Hardware Abstration Layer") is just the build number of hal.dll (6.3.9600.17196).
    What you see when you run dism /? is just the build number of dism.exe (6.3.9600.17031).

    If you're looking for the build number of Windows, check ntoskrnl.exe.

    6.3.9600.17031 = Update 1 (KB2919355)
    6.3.9600.17041 = KB2934018
    6.3.9600.17085 = KB2955164

    You can right-click on ntoskrnl.exe, choose Properties->Details and see the version number there.

    Or, as somebody else previously posted, enter this cmd line:

    reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v BuildLabEx

    I checked the build of the download. it is 6.3.9640.19240
    I will be installing it in about a hour after I get one of my spare PC's back together and clean.
    Will let you all know what it is like and post screen shots.
    As many as I can.

    Yes they sure have.
    There is an agreement that you have to send back to them.
    Never had that before and I have tested Windows XP x64, Longhorn (Vista) and Windows 7 pro.

    Really? I thought Windows 9 was 6.4.{Blah} build. That's strange.

    I have already gotten a request to share the ISO.
    Please don't PM me to share the ISO as I have a large sum of money invested now.
    I also use my MSDN account quite a bit and need my account.
    I will share as much info as I can about this ISO, But I will only share it here on MDL.
    Thanks

    Tks maddog0266, 9640 is a really early build, guess it's basically win8 9200, but I think we could still find quite a number of interesting things .... could you post the full build tag first? Tks again. :D

    It is x64
    Installing right now.
    On the install start screen it says Windows 8.1.
    So I am assuming it is 8.1 update 2.
    Bummer.
