Please add Windows 8.1 to the list (Update 1-3) and all options. I think the 1507 installer will be ok

Windows 8.1 ESD links "vg.dl.ws.microsoft.com" are OFF, so there are no point

8.x is also out of support
but the reason I have skipped it entirely is because it has multiple unfixed elevation-of-privilege flaws - even when you run as limited user, malware can bypass it straight to system and do anything it wants. literally worse than previous 7 or even vista (with server patches) for it's entire lifespan

and with the recent fuckup of SecureBoot, even 10 is in limbo, microsoft is unwilling to re-release eol esd's

Hi AveYo, You can get the ESD files from files.rg-adguard.net

It only index the files (and provide torrent for some of them), it doesn't host them https://files.rg-adguard.net/file/411a77d7-208c-a1a0-19ca-486610662472 = link dead
