    I had 3 times installed today on my Laptop, now it's working fine.

    • First were that I was get activated and after installing the WMC while the MS Messages was telling it's Ok as well as my WMC Key, I got deactivated. And something else were happen because the screen was freezing in some parts and the updates (3 of them) were hanging at every start!!
    • Second, activated using the same key as first, I was getting problems with Updates again and find it's the Graphic Driver update for the nVidia which forced the crashing's.
    • Third installed and activated with same key again just fine. Downloaded the Graphic Driver from Guru3D.com and now all work well and will hopefully further on!
    No more WMC for the time being, and in reality, I even don't need that!

    You will only be able to activate Windows 8.1 Single Language edition, this hasn't leaked yet...

    There are several Core Editions, the standard one is Win 8.1 (the Core version, index:2) on the Retail ISO.

    Then there are versions for that so called emerging markets:

    CoreSingleLanguage (that should be yours)
    CoreCountrySpecific

    No, there's 1 iso for Enterprise, 1 iso for Single Language and 1 iso that contains both Core and Pro, only the last one has 2 version that can be determined by the key.
    You need a separate Single language ISO that hasn't been leaked yet and it wasn't on the list of ISOs WZOR was going to leak iirc :sorry:

    Most likely it will last a while like it did for Win 8 :hmm:.

    Core edition - This is simple Home Premium version, which changed name in Core. For Home using.

    Pro edition - Edition for businesses and other. Same as Ultimate version of Windows Vista/7.

    The problem is that you need to have a key, that is something that probably most of the users in here don't have

    Kind of interesting. I installed 8.1 in UEFI mode, without SecureBoot (motherboard doesn't have it), and I only saw the SecureBoot watermark once, back when I wasn't activated. I have Ultra Fast Boot enabled, and a UEFI GOP VBIOS too on my GPU, and no more SecureBoot issue watermark.

    Yep, if you have a legitimate key anyway :cool:

    That might be true for home user, but not for many people on MDL, I need it for remote desktop for example, and many here on the forum will need it to boot from VHDs and/or use HyperV.

    That's just true. To many restriction regarding Networking etc. in Core versions. Just for people who using a single computer and didn't connecting to any network, except to surf the Internet, the Core version is enough!
