This is a modified version of Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro. I call it "Windows 9"
It was designed to bring back the UI from Windows 7, while keeping the kernel improvements from 8.1
You need a license key to activate this operating system.
If you are in college, check if you have a Microsoft Imagine subscription. You can usually get an 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro license key from Microsoft Imagine for free.
Windows 9 is x64 only - this will not work on 32 bit systems.
If affected by a black screen issue after windows update, please visit this page for instructions on how to repair.

Third, FIM accelerates incident response and forensic analysis. In the event of a breach, security teams must determine the scope of the damage. By reviewing FIM logs provided by SEP, analysts can trace the timeline of an attack, identifying exactly which files were compromised and when. This visibility allows for faster remediation, as administrators can restore systems to their "known good" baseline with confidence that no backdoors remain.

All pre-installed software/tweaks belong to the companies/people who made it.
