G'day good folks,

I need tips/recommendations. I'm setting up an tablet with removable keyboard with win10, but naturally I cant get the touch to work. I wanted to test with win8.1, but I can't find any good pirated versions to test with.

Does anyone here have any go-to site for pirated OS's? I have gone through most of the links in the mega thread, but I'm quite new at the pirate part so any advice is highly appriciated!

Don’t pirate windows.

Download the official ISOs and then use an activation tool instead.

I don’t think the above scripts work with 8/8.1 but you can likely find activation scripts for them.

Saw the script for win8.1, but sadly my experimenting has come to an end since Microsoft removed the ISO from their page. Thank you for the tip though, did not know about massgravel

Massgrave works with 8/8.1 just fine, just not with the HWID method afaik.

Afaik, you can just download windows and run it, you'll just get an "activate windows" prompt that might be annoying. It's great if you just want to try something out if you need windows to update firmware of a peripheral.

Search up the device's name with "touchscreen driver" before doing anything. See what operating system it supports.

Try Pop OS instead, it works great with touch and pen input on my tablet laptop.
