'''Windows 8 build 7867''' is an internal build of [[Windows 8]]. It was first shown running on an ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8660 SoC and NVIDIA Tegra 250 development kit at the [[w:Consumer Electronics Show#2011|CES 2011]] [[w:trade show|trade show]] to demonstrate the capabilities of the then-evolving [[w:ARMv7|ARMv7]] architecture, along with builds [[Windows 8 build 7898|7898]] and [[Windows 8 build 7900|7900]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvzJmRBS84w Microsoft CES 2011 Windows OS Announcement - YouTube]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKc_XGuvNIk Microsoft shows off ARM processors running Windows - YouTube]</ref> A low-quality camera recording of the build which showed demonstration of the [[Paint]] application running on the same Qualcomm SoC prior to the event was later uploaded by former [[Windows]] division president [[w:Steven Sinofsky|Steven Sinofsky]] on 30 October 2022, along with video footage of builds [[Windows 8 build 7792|7792]] and [[Windows 8 build 8090|8090]] in issue 104 of their account of events during his time at Microsoft, titled ''Hardcore Software''.<ref>Sinofsky, Steven.

The original partner drop for both the retail and debug client releases of the build's unstaged ARMv7 installation media and [[Preinstallation Environment]], including software development kits and raw symbol sets for [[w:Nvidia|Nvidia]] were eventually uploaded on 8 September 2024. The [[w:Qualcomm|Qualcomm]] drop was uploaded on 4 December 2024, followed by the [[W:Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments]] drop on the BetaWiki Discord Server 2 days later. This is the last build that uses the [[Windows 7]] branding on the [[watermark]], <code>winver.exe</code> dialog, and the login screen.

== New features and changes ==
=== HAL extension support ===
This is the earliest available build of Windows to support hardware abstraction layer extensions, which allow platform developers to quickly provide support for [[w:system-on-chip|system-on-chip]] devices by adding interfaces for interrupt timers and controllers, as well as direct memory access (DMA) controllers.
=== Driver management ===
System drivers now use a dedicated registry database located in the <code>Windows\System32\config</code> directory (as <code>DRIVERS</code>). It is used by the Windows servicing stack to facilitate driver installation, and contains a list of relevant driver components,<!-- DRIVERS\DriverDatabase\DriverFiles --> hardware IDs,<!-- DRIVERS\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds --> references to driver metadata (INFs)<!-- DRIVERS\DriverDatabase\DriverInfFiles --> and definition data for each installed driver package.<!-- DRIVERS\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages -->
=== CES 2011 demonstration differences ===
Various aspects of this build were either changed or disabled during the CES 2011 demonstration, two of which are likely a result of file replacement originating from later builds originating from shell development branches:
*The ''User Tile'' seen in builds [[Windows 8 build 7785|7785]] through [[Windows 8 build 7866|7866]] is disabled.
*The branding observed within the watermark was temporarily changed to "Microsoft Pre-release Windows Operating System", in a stark contrast to [[Windows 7|its predecessors']] branding commonly seen in Milestone 1 builds.
*The [[Windows Fingerprinting Service]] is disabled, as evidenced by the lack of the [[Microsoft Confidential]] leak warning in the watermark and the missing EULA hash.
*The desktop background was changed to the one seen in the [[Windows 7 build 7600.16385|RTM build]] of Windows 7, in place of the blue-green gradient Milestone 1 wallpaper that was used since [[Windows 8 build 7762|build 7762]].
== Bugs and quirks ==
=== ARMv7 port differences ===
Due to the earliness of the ARMv7 port, aspects of the operating system that exist in x86 do not exist on ARM:
* The older CMIv2-style component store (containing the binaries used to assemble the Windows Foundation base image) is present alongside the newer Windows side-by-side (SxS) component store.
* The .NET Framework is not present, despite components depending on the Common Language Runtime (such as [[PowerShell]]) being included.
** Most applications that rely on .NET Framework such as the [[Snipping Tool]] and [[Windows Media Center]] do not exist.
* The Warbird obfuscation layer was not yet ported at this stage in development - components relying on it, such as the Metro shell (provided by <code>twinui.dll</code>), security components (such as the Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB) security processor drivers) and software licensing components are not obfuscated.
* The Windows Search indexing engine does not exist at this stage in development.
