Windows 8 build 7871 is a Milestone 2 build of Windows 8. A screenshot of this build with Redpill on and the charms bar displaying was shared on 11 May 2020[1], as well as confirmation of its kernel version number.

This build is likely more similar to build 7875 rather than 7850, although it uses the Windows 7 branding like the latter.

Unlike 7875, the watermark does not say "Microsoft Confidential".

Finally, similarly to builds 7867 to 7901 (client) and 7904 (server), it uses the Arial font for the title bar and watermark. The EULA hash is also drawn in this build.
