New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Setup[edit | edit source]

  • If launching SysPrep whilst the system is redpilled, a few screens similar to when install.wim was manually deployed would appear - such as the EULA.

Storage Spaces[edit | edit source]

This is the first available build to include the Storage Spaces feature.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Running in VMware[edit | edit source]

To install or run this build in VMware Workstation, the hardware compatibility version must be set to versions 8.x/9.x/10.x; otherwise, a bugcheck will occur.

OOBE background[edit | edit source]

Like any previous build since 8032, this build's Windows 7 OOBE background is distorted in that the image got squished in monochrome on the left, with a black space being left on the right. This bug was never fixed, as the legacy OOBE was removed with the integration of Redpill features to the main codebase of Windows in build 8128.
