[Q] Avoid 8.1 for Surface RT when updating topic

First post ever. Wanted to post it here but wasn't allowed due to some rules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2092348

Anyway, wonder if you someone could point out which updates (windows updates) should not be installed for the surface RT if you don't want to update it to 8.1. Reason is that jailbreaks only works for 8.0. But some applications, for instance DosBox, seems to need some updates in order to work (or else according to some comments an error occurs which happens to me know). It has become a kind of catch 22 now; You should not update but if it should work you need to update.
Right now I have 123 different updates.

So the questions still stands: What update(s) should I avoid in order to keep the windows on 8.0? For intance, KB.... or updates released after some date.
I have tried to find any relevant info about this but without success.

EDIT: Sorry, just saw the thread probably belongs in "Surface RT General" forum. Me bad.

Thanks in advance.

Android app on Windows Surface 8.1 topic

So I've been doing a lot of looking around and I got a surface w. 8.1 for work as I needed MS Office. The only thing that I would like to be able to do is to MOD it so that I can put Google play on it and run android apps. I see that there is application called BlueStacks an emulator, I downloaded the .exe but the surface gives me the message that it can't run the exe. I went into the device and configured it to all untrusted apps via a YouTube I found and that did not work.
I'm not looking to make major changes to it. I am happy with it but want to add my android app. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Btw I am a complete noob on how to do this.

Surface pro 2 TP graphics problems? and recovery partition topic

Hi guys, bit moth balls around here but perhaps someone else will stumble in to these parts and have an answer

Intel Graphics, yes there driver support is shocking, but whats more annoying is every other day windows update attempts to download and install system updates, it says its successful but its clearly not. I have all sorts of issues with hardware acceleration, some times even youtube videos wont work, Netflix is the same.

So firstly, anyone else have bother with the system updates?
next up, does anyone have any sources of Intel Drivers for the surface pro 2

finally, does anyone know if MS will be changing recovery partitions allowing windows 10 to directly be recovered rather then jumping throught Win8 hoops?
