Windows 8 build 8513 (win8 gdr soc intel)

Windows 8 build 8513 (win8_gdr_soc_intel) is a build of Windows 8, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 3 January 2020.

This build and its related Nvidia and Texas Instruments partner-specific compiles are the earliest available builds to feature the boot screen used in the RTM build, and would later carry over to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. It is also the first build to introduce the desktop and lock screen wallpaper set seen in the final release.

As this build was released to partners on Microsoft Connect, it does not include most inbox applications by default apart from Internet Explorer and the Store.

Updates
Some updates were released for this build via Windows Update, updating it to build 8513.102.

Installation
Turn off all network adapters even if you set the BIOS date for the machine, otherwise after the hardware setup it will automatically adjust to the current time via online time syncing and thus activate the timebomb, and remind you of installing a newer build at the first boot.
