If I were to install Windows 8.1 with Bing and initiate a store update, would I be able to capture the IR5 ESD download URL?
Maybe, but i don't think they bothered to create it Bing SKUs never had ESD files anyway, only leaked OEM images
As you have already noted is counting by the use of the word 'Update X' total misleading. when you say 'IR4 is August (when Update 2 was released)' - this become nonsense you can count by 2 ways 1. MSDN releases (ISO's) - this is the most used naming cheme on MDL and WWW IRM (dvd_27*) <- AKA RTM - DVD Label IRM_* IR1 (dvd_29*) <- AKA Update 1 (or RTM with Update Rollup) (or GDR) - DVD Label IR1_* IR3 (dvd_40*) <- AKA Update 2 - DVD Label IR3_* IR5 (dvd_60*) <- AKA Update 3 - DVD Label IR5_* 2. count everything (but dont use the word update) IRM <- ISO (dvd_27*) - DVD Label IRM_* IR1 <- ISO (dvd_29*) General Distributet Release - DVD Label IR1_* = Store ESD Code: KB2883200, KB2894029, KB2894179 IR2 <- refreshed Store ESD Code: KB2862152, KB2868626, KB2876331, KB2883200, KB2884101, KB2884846, KB2887595, KB2888505, KB2894029, KB2894179, KB2898514, KB2900986, KB2901101, KB2906956, KB2908174 IR3 <- ISO (dvd_40*) - DVD Label IR3_* Code: KB2919355, KB2919442, KB2932046, KB2937220, KB2937592, KB2938439, KB2938772, KB2939471, KB2949621 IR4 <- refreshed Store ESD - August Code: KB2919355, KB2920189, KB2931358, KB2931366, KB2932046, KB2934018 KB2937220, KB2937592, KB2938439, KB2938772, KB2939153, KB2939576 KB2949621, KB2950153, KB2954879, KB2955164, KB2956575, KB2958262 KB2958263, KB2959626, KB2961072, KB2962140, KB2962872, KB2964718 KB2965142, KB2966407, KB2966870, KB2967162, KB2968599, KB2969817 KB2971203, KB2971850, KB2972280, KB2973201, KB2974008, KB2975061 KB2975719, KB2976978, KB2979582, KB2980654, KB2990532, KB2993651 Embedded Lockdown Manager KB2959936 IR5 <- ISO (dvd_60*) - DVD Label IR5_* Code: KB2932046, KB2934018, KB2937220, KB2937592, KB2938439, KB2938772 KB2939153, KB2949621, KB2954879, KB2958262, KB2958263, KB2961072 KB2962140, KB2965142, KB2965500, KB2966407, KB2967917, KB2968599 KB2971203, KB2973351, KB2976627, KB2976978, KB2977629, KB2978002 KB2978742, KB2981580, KB2987107, KB2989647, KB2998527, KB3001237 KB3003057, KB3014442, Embedded Lockdown Manager KB2959936 EDIT: - fix IRM 29* -> IR1 29* ...(thx abbodi1406 for the hint) - add KB (as far as i know)
So Microsoft officially labels KB2919355 as Windows 8.1 Update, and we are not supposed to use it? then a very few documents/articles later refer to it explicitly as Update 1 try not to include the DVD media label into the "Update" equation they are two separate counts Media label: IRM, IR1... IR5 Update terminology: KB2919355 (1), KB2975719 (2), KB3000850 (3) BTW, (dvd_29*) are IR1, not IRM, and they equal first Store ESD
thx for the hint, fixed #225 add also KB* BTW your Update terminology is misleading KB2919355 (1) -> included in IR3 (and IR4) KB2975719 (2) -> included in IR4 KB3000850 (3) is afaik out side from IRM, IR1... IR5 It also contains patches that are not included in IR5
It's Microsofts's, not mine (although not very explicitly) that's what i said from the beginning KB3000850 is the reason for creating IR5 media, so it's included, dah!
Just wanted to say thanks for the Win_with_Bing_8.1_32BIT_English_OEM.img link in the first post. I spent soooo many hours trying to fix my tablet without success until I found this and then BAM! Fixed! Will keep seeding this for years.
Hello guys! I'm new here will this run in a new laptop with windows 10 (pre installed) ? Windows 10 auto update and task scheduler always made my disk working in 100% which makes my laptop very slow. If yes? Can I place it in a usb stick and then boot from there?
Are you still seeding this? I'm finding no seeders, and I'm trying to download this to reinstall on my HP Stream 8. I currently have Windows 10 on it, but it is such a disaster, and it makes the tablet completely unusable. Also, I just want to say that I can't believe what a PITA it is to get this version of Windows 8.1.
Is there any links for the Spanish, non-Single Language edition? I have a Toshiba Laptop that had that, but its hard driive crashed and Windows 10 is too slow for it (it has a s**tty, dual-core Atom based CPU). Thanks
first post in this forum, thank you so much for the updated link, and i hope it is reliable. downloading now and will try soon!
Nope, that's the Spanish Single Language, and I need the non-Single Language edition (I tried to activate it with the original key from the laptop, but Windows says it is from another edition of Windows). Can somebody help me? Thanks!
Hello everyone, the link I have chosen before was Windows 8.1 with Bing. That is CoreConnected, am I right? I am finding for Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing, that is CoreConnectedSingle Language. Problem is, the link above is for the Spanish version? or do I have to change the language using a script somewhere? Thanks.
