Windows 8 RTM is widely shared online

Many users find it easy to download two full versions of Windows 8 such as Professional or Enterprise including 64 bit and 32 bit versions. However, there is no "unlocking" way that is considered to be completely successful.

It's not hard to find the path to download Windows 8 RTM for nearly a week.

Less than a day after Microsoft announced Windows 8 operating system to switch to Release to Manufacturing (RTM) phase, which was completed to put into production, this version was immediately shared quite a lot on forum pages. . The source of the leaked data is from foreign sites and is transmitted by the Vietnamese community through forums. Initially, the network community " fevered" a link that was supposed to be a 64-bit RTM version but was soon discovered to be " fake."

However, tech enthusiasts don't have to wait too long for just a few hours later, the Windows 8 Enterprise N version has been shared. This is the original version, does not include files to boot directly as well as missing some other software such as Windows Media Player. The way to burn to disk, USB and create an installation is difficult, but it attracts nearly 200 comments on Windowsvn forum.

The Start interface is like Windows Phone, which stimulates the curiosity of many users.

Two versions that are considered to be the most complete such as Windows 8 RTM Professional and Enterprise (both 32 bit and 64 bit) appear later but have so far attracted more than 10,000 views as well as more than 400 comments. Other forums such as Vozforums, diendantinhoc . also discussed very actively about this topic.

Most downloads are in torrent format (with peer-to-peer sharing) with file sizes of over 2 to over 3 GB. Some integrated versions of 32 and 64 bit should be larger, about 5 GB. Because there are many people sharing so the download speed is always very high."It took me only 30 minutes to download the 64-bit installation due to more than 2,000 seeds and nearly 1,000 peers, " said adamhann. The server addresses in Vietnam are always prioritized to use because of the high download speed.

Currently the biggest problem that members have is activating Windows 8 RMT. Unlike the previous two test versions, Consumer Preview and Release Preview, the RTM version forces users to have a "genuine " key to activate. Because it was new at the beginning, the "unlocked" tools did not appear much. The ways shared on the forum have been implemented but many people have failed the test.

Windows 8 "unlocking" is still impossible for some users.

"Knowing in advance is not possible to activate and only has a way to extend the trial period but I still decided to delete the old Windows XP completely for Windows 8 installation", member minhthang168 said while waiting for the machine to install the new operating system. . If the user does not activate soon, it will lack some functions such as not being able to log in to an online Microsoft account, changing the avatar, wallpaper and themes in the external touch interface. Many others also said that they will still install the operating system but wait to buy the " key" because the price is not too expensive.

Windows 8 is receiving many compliments from its users. In addition to inheriting the simplicity, lightness, good hardware compatibility from Windows 7, the new version also offers a new interface that supports good touch. Most computer models are getting enough drivers when installing, except for those using discrete graphics cards, the rate is lower.
