Windows 8 build 7814

Windows 8 build 7814 is a build of Windows 8. A screenshot of this build was included with the original upload of build 7746 on 3 May 2020. The ISO of this build was shared on the BetaWiki Discord server on 30 September 2021. It is the earliest available build to include the Redpill feature locking mechanism.

Being early in development, many areas still say "Windows 7" and the kernel is still 6.1 (much like the earlier builds 7700 and 7746). The default background image of this build is a bluish gradient with a green tint at the lower right and a message at the top telling users not to leak this build ("shhh... let's not leak our hard work").

Redpill
The 2 March 2020 build of Redlock unlocks various features in this build. It is the earliest available build to implement Redpill.

The Start screen in this build is rather primitive, having only one view featuring every installed application with a tile. It also includes a button to bring up an early search pane. A very early and non-functional snap UI is seen when you exit from the Start screen. A primitive Charms bar is also implemented and is accessible by pressing Win + C on your keyboard, but it is non-functional. New folder icons, along with a preview grid, are present in this build when Redpill is enabled. The next build's Metro is almost identical to this build.

PDF Reader
There is a preliminary version of the Immersive Reader included, accessible by running  with any PDF file as an argument (or without any argument to open a blank page).

Modern Windows Task Manager
A preliminary version of the Modern Windows Task Manager is included as well. It is accessible by running.

Ribbon UI
A partial implementation of the Ribbon interface is present in Windows Explorer; albeit with placeholder icon resources.

Webcam Capture Application
An early version of the webcam capture application is included as well, accessible by running.

Auto Colorization
Create a copy of a theme from, add   to the end of the   section and apply.

Miscellaneous
The Getting Started application from Windows 7 has been removed.
