    I get a recovery image of Windows 8.1 China with Bing x86.
    As far as I know, only a few models of the tablet in China have the system.

    I'm not sure if it is feasible to recreate it. If you want, PM me with link to it and I'll take a look into it when I'll have some free time.

    EnterpriseG can only use en-US and zh-CN. Unless you plan to use Chinese?

    1) Is the telemetry really off in this?
    2) What antivirus everyone suggests for this EnterpriseG build?
    3) Can Windows Defender be installed on this?

    I converted 19041 build and so far so good. I would be grateful for answers.

    1. No. EnterpriseG by itself does not disable the telemetry, you need to disable it yourself.
    2. Check some and use the one which you think is the lightest
    3. Defender is installed, but permanently disabled by Product Policy.

    Noob here, I have some questions if you don't mind:

    3. Extract edition files to sxs directory found in the extracted archive (use Extract Here option in your archiver)
    5. Extract language pack to lp directory
    6. Extract install.wim from your ISO to the main directory of the extracted archive
    7. Rename extracted install.wim to something other and export a prerequisite index from it to new install.wim
    8. Run the Command Prompt as an administrator and cd to the folder you have extracted the archive to
    9. Run full_build.cmd and let it do its magic

    a) In steps 3 and 5, can I use 7zip to extract those files? What is the preferred method? I tried using 7zip, it was successful but there was a "payload data" error. Idk if that is okay.

    b) What is the preferred method for extracting ISOs?

    c) Step 7 was extra confusing. Here is how I understood it: I rename install.wim to something else like abc.wim. Then a prerequisite index has to be exported to the new install.wim. First of all I do not know what a prerequisite index is and I don't know how to export it either. Then what confuses me is that in order to get a new wim I would have to run the script full_build.cmd, that happens in step 9 right? So how would I export a prerequisite index to the new wim when its not there yet?

    d) And finally how do I repackage the iso?

    Yes, open the esd file in 7zip and select all files inside and drag/drop them in the sxs folder.

    ISOs can be opened/extracted by 7zip too.

    That's a rebuild option, rename original install.wim to old.wim (example) and export the index to a new install.wim using imagex or dism.

    repacking can be done by oscdimg commandline or a ISO mastering tool like UltraISO.

    Wait so I have to build the new wim then export the index from the old wim to the new wim right?

    No, rename the resulting wim to old.wim and run this dism command:

    Code:
    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\old.wim" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /Compress:max /checkintegrity

    My guess: The step is for getting a clean WIM with only one index inside.

    What should be mentioned at the extraction steps is, that there will be Overwrite? prompts from 7-Zip. Some files exist in more than one ESD (they are identical).
