Description
The OS is a modified Windows Embedded 8.1 ISO. A few components relating to VPNs and the immersive control panel are removed. Most of the telemetry has been disabled, while introducing new ones which you'll see later on. Other than that, the OS is mostly a stock install.
The ISO was made using NTLite on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
