[Windows RT General] kephax:
This guide is made based on my experience and based on the other thread: "[Tutorial] Install Windows 10 for ARM32 on your Surface 2".

It is not complete yet. I will be adding files and more clear instructions slowly.

Do this at your own risk. Your device may be bricked. I am still not sure if the SecureBoot fix should be executed on 8.0 or 8.1
