Windows 8 build 8277 is a build of Windows 8, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 4 January 2019 as an x64 checked/debug version. It is the last build to use the flag from Windows XP, Vista and 7 in both the setup and charms bar. Despite having a higher build number than the official Consumer Preview, it was compiled nine days earlier, in a similar fashion to Windows Vista build 5712, Windows 7 build 7106 (winmain) and Windows 10 build 10102 (winmain prs). This build still uses the Windows Developer Preview boot screen branding instead of the "betta fish" as in the official Consumer Preview build.

Unlike build 8220, this build shows the Microsoft Confidential watermark in both the desktop and winver.
