Windows 8 build 8441 is a build of Windows 8, which was released to Microsoft partners through the Ecosystem Engineering Access Program (EEAP) around late June 2012.[1]

The build was first seen under the Pro[2] and Preinstallation Environment SKUs; the Preinstallation Environment has been publicly available since 2015, and the full x64 Dutch version was later uploaded to BetaArchive on 11 June 2020. A variant of this build's Preinstallation Environment under the Simplified Chinese language was supposedly uploaded to the Chinese website BetaWorld on 21 February 2018,[3] but at the moment this cannot be confirmed or refuted as it is not publicly available.
