Description
The bootleg is very strange in the way it was made. The author used a Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro ISO instead of a normal 8.1 ISO to edit, and they supposedly use Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter as their host OS. NTLite was used to make the bootleg.
As for the few edits that were made, a few components relating to VPNs and what not and the immersive control panel are removed.
