Windows 8.1 Preview - Build 9431, 10 years later
Channel: ThatRandomToast
Date: 2023-06-26

On 26 June 2013, Microsoft released the official preview of Windows 8.1 to the public. This build has the famous betta fish (pun for "beta") boot logo in a minimalist design style, which is temporary until it is reverted to the Windows 8 logo later. Windows 8.1 is the first step to undo controversial changes made to Windows 8, such as the removal of the #Start button. Other changes such as a redesigned PC Settings app and new personalization options for the Metro UI are also present in this build. This video is specially made for the 10th anniversary of the public release of this build.
