Windows 8 Elite Black VR2 is a Windows bootleg edition created by Mohamed Elshinawy of Magic Team released in 2012.

Description

The bootleg is a bootable Windows XP SP3 ISO that has a boot selector when you boot it up. It comes with Partition Magic 8.2, Active@ Password Changer (Password Reset 3) and Norton Ghost 8.5. The first and last ones run off of a Windows ME RAM disk while the second runs off of FreeDOS. It is unattended and preactivated. This bootleg was made using Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8. This bootleg comes with additional programs that you can install.

Despite the OS name being Windows 8, this bootleg has Windows 7 branding. The only Windows 8 related branding is in the log in wallpaper, which is from Windows 8 Milestone 3.

Changes from Windows XP

  • Setup OS captions are changed
  • New boot screen with Windows 8 branding and a Windows Vista loading bar
  • New setup background. Time count down is moved to the bottom left while the progress bar is on the bottom right
  • Barely any themes added
  • New icons
  • Several new wallpapers
  • OOBE is skipped
  • The OOBE video is changed to a rather strange one that looks to last 30 seconds
