Windows 8.0

Windows 8.0! The hated operating system that came out in 2012, brining lots of hated and loved features to windows, such as UWP, UEFI Class 3 support, Metro Apps, The start screen, Ribbons, and more! The reason why people might choose this over 8.1 is because: It has almost the same amount of APIs windows 8.1 has, you can change out the Windows 8 explorer with the Windows 7 one, and most importantly, UEFI CLASS 3. The randomserver team has listed a lot of patches for 8.0 here, so enjoy!
