Join my Discord Server: discord.com/invite/NEkfvzkbdA If an extended kernel for Windows 8.1 drops, then I will try to get it work with Discord and other apps unsupported already in Windows 8.1

extended kernel*

sorry about that mistake. i was in a hurry while uploading

[@laalpattharkedevata]

@@userwin64 ok

[@PurblePink8678]

Hopefully we can run Windows 10 uwp apps

[@Vichingo455]

Tried to install on my main and it misses a lot of drivers. It's usable but if I could get drivers it will be better.

[@PurblePink8678]

If only sideloading Metro apps was foolproof...

[@Buddymangaming]

And Windows 8.1 is my favorite! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CuteePieTheVideoEditor2021]

Me Too😊

[@1234yoyov]

Windows 8.1 was trash😂

[@Buddymangaming]

@@1234yoyov NO!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡

[@nikoskampourakis4613]

​@@Buddymangamingyes it was trash because there were tiles on it and made your operating system more like an tablet

[@2anchors]

Trash for you, golden for us loved the tiles​@@nikoskampourakis4613

I remember my old HP 6730b I passed over to my mom when her laptop broke until the HP broke and she got a new one, the HP couldn't run anything newer than 8.1 without turning off after some time

[@funey9541]

I have a 6910p which runs windows 10 smoothly

[@Straya1]

In 2021, They made Edge available on Windows 8.1 due to Internet Explorer end of support

[@Frolicky]

me be jammin out to these beats bro

[@Ronnocbot]

Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro is one of the best Windows OS's of all time. It is so optimized, and very light weight. Windows 7 will always be my favorite, but 8.1 Embedded/Windows Server 2012 R2 are right up there with it.

[@GGGUY999]

had to put it in 1.5x speed for normal speed

[@TBRHS]

Maybe next time use Supermium?

[@ShizukoMurphy]

It's a good video, but by the way, I can drop a link to a working discord for 8.1

[@leosleoleos]

@@leosleoleos May I know your discord? I'll send you a link there.

[@leosleoleos]

@@ShizukoMurphy why can't you send it on youtube if you don't mind me asking? also another question, when you mean by ''working discord for 8.1'' do you mean by the last version of discord to work on windows 8.1 if yes that's actually cool imo

[@leosleoleos]

@@userwin64 that's so cool

[@4sravanthi]

I wanna use 2000 Professional SP4, XP Professional SP3, Vista Business SP2, 7 Professional SP1, 8.1 Pro 2014 Update, 10 Pro 1809 & 11 Pro 23H2!!

[@Ronnocbot]

What are you trying to install it on? Make sure the processor supports NX (intel socket 775 or newer)

[@2009-Windows-7]

In my opinion, it’s really good

@@userwin64 idk why it was hated

[@Televisionuploads]

@@2009-Windows-7 its because of the start menu on desktop its like a tablet start but if you have a surface rt it would be better or surface pro the old ones from 2012

[@deudz]

​@@2009-Windows-7because it was made with tablets in mind not PCs

[@Ronnocbot]

@@2009-Windows-7 Windows 8.0 killed its reputation. Pretty crazy that a minor tweak can make the whole OS so much better. 8.1 is solid.

[@WindowsDestroyer]

Great Video. But you should probably speed it up more next time.

[@userwin64]

i could but for 100x speed it will lag the video

[@Wish914]

@@userwin64 you could use jumpcuts, like cut out certain parts of the video instead of speeding it up

[@userwin64]

maybe

[@jerylematthew1]

I rememberd windows 8.1 on 2012 on my Dads PC

Windows 8.1 didn't exist in 2012. Are you talking about Windows 8?

you sure about that lil bro.

@@BreadPT Yes.

[@deudz]

windows 11 is just windows 10 but "prettier"

[@Ronnocbot]

@@deudz Windows 11 is "pretty" but nothing like Windows 7/8.1. Windows is now about scraping as much data as possible from end users where before it was a useful tool that you OWNED.

goofy ahh windows user

[@TonitoPlaysRoblox]

I still remember having a laptop running windows 8.1, I still have it even to this day tho the screen is damaged and some of the apps I know by hooking it up to a tv still works on it.

[@TonitoPlaysRoblox]

The apps I know by far is Roblox, and an app I installed on GitHub, I don’t really know about discord and those other apps.
