Windows 8.1 Black Alien Edition is a bootleg Windows 8.1 edition, which was created by Kirk of remasteros.org. It released on June 27, 2015, and was added to the archive on November 25, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 8.1 ISO, which is heavily alien-themed and also focuses on dark elements. It doesn't come with many programs on its own, but to compensate it has a WPI with about 1 GB worth of programs. The OS comes bundled with a cracked copy of Active@ BootDisk which you can boot from the boot selector. It is preactivated with KMSpico v10.0.5b.

The ISO was made using WinToolkit.
