Was that Windows 8.1, or Windows RT?

Full Windows 8.1 thanks to Intel's x86 tablet push at the time.

Windows RT never made it to any other devices besides the Surface RT iirc and was pretty much an immediate failure.

I dumpster dived a Nokia Lumia tablet that had RT on it. It got used as a kitchen Youtube viewer for a couple months before I gave it away.
