Windows 8 Start Menu Evolution! 

Me i was using Windows 8 Pro from 2012 to 2014 a windows 8.1 update - And after that i used this os from 2014 do 2022 - On my Desktop I upgraded to Windows 10 LTSC 1809 but on my laptop i am still sticking to Windows 8

windows 8 had an initial concept of interface for mobile devices, but that also intends to fit desktop

My childhood was Windows RT 8.1 which I knew for the name „Windows 8.1” It was interesting since I found it was „RT” after 2 years with seeing that tablet. I was suprised how there was no modern browser support and some of the x86 apps were gone

i remember using windows 8.1 and messed around with the themes until i upgraded to windows 10 in 2022

I can relate to this back in 2012 as a kid I used to use my dads laptop witch was an acre aspire touch I liked the metro UI because of how it was easy.

@@exxon55_8rt Definitely easy on tablet. Just try it on desktop though. Desktop is what metro UI was really not made for. Lol. Being the reason why the start menu made Windows 8 a failure.

@@JonnyForThe3 bro I used desktop too I no complaints about the os

@@exxon55_8rt I’m not complaining, I’m just saying why people disliked Windows 8 and stuck with 7 for desktop PCs.

8 years later...

I think no. Windows 8 didn't have them. Windows 8.1 RTM did have those. I have installed that one on a VM that's why. It's build 9600 when he shows Windows 8.1 RTM, which is correct.

@@random_person618 Open Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. If BuildLabEx is: - 9600.16384.winblue_rtm.130821-1623 = original RTM - 9600.17031.winblue_gdr.140221-1952 = Update 1 - 9600.17238.winblue_gdr.140723-2018 = Update 2 - 9600.17415.winblue_r4.141028-1500 = Update 3

@@generixer6250 Man. Build 9200 is of Windows 8, and 9600 is of 8.1 (RTM)

​@@random_person618 Updates does change the full buildtag. Also, check out BetaWiki.

@@reychandor452 Thanks for replying to a six month old comment, and I have one thing to say: You didn't understand what I was saying. Thank you for writing such a long comment though.

Windows is Windows 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

cuz they didnt change the theme in the first build

windows 8 was still formally called 'Windows 7' in branding SKUs up to around Build 7850. Then it was switched to 'Microsoft Confidential'

@@NobelTech sounds ironic since its already leaked to the public lol

Yep

I have downgrade to Window 8.1 is good

Yes. I am a desktop user.

As a desktop user,i love windows 8

i have never used touch screen computers before but windows 8 was my favorite

@@Diogo2cool ok

I agree

@@opbolt2155 how did you know I commented?

time travel. Simple

@@EgorFed1 time travel? I’m in 2022? Are you in 2035

@notmeerroblox yes, I do!

nice pfp

You are wrong

let me explain. early builds of windows usually look like the previous version, gradually they add some of the new features in a milestone. after the milestone phase, there's a beta phase, usually previews for technical use, during this phase, users can test the os before it was released. after the beta phase, there's a release candidate phase, in this phase, the os is ready for release unless bugs emerge. after release candidate, it will go to rtm then into marketing and general use. i hope this comment helps you understand why early builds look exact same to the previous.

Hi,brawl star

It's the earliest build.

This is NOT a place to promote your channels.

who cares

it's been one year- @MinNeTi

the windows 8 start screen comes from windows phone 7

it's still windows 8, early builds of windows may look the same as its previous version

well yes but actually no

Really early builds of windows versions tend to identify themselves as the predecessor to that version (so really early windows 8 identified as windows 7)

De facto, this is the case. But this is the beginning of all beginnings.

the first start screen is a testing feature hidden due to redpill

beta versions of windows do not have aero enabled by default.
