Unlock Bootloader via Windows 8 64bit?

Has anyone been able to unlock the bootloader using Windows 8 64bit?
My brother has been trying to do so with my One for a while and nothing seems to be working.
Could this be a Windows 8 compatibility issue?

Here you go...

But look at the HD2 you could have windows mobile, windows phone and android on that thing

An HTC one sold with android does not have a windows license. So flashing a windows rom onto it would be stealing/piracy.
That's not a technical barrier to making it happen; but most forums tend to frown on openly redistributing copyrighted material. If it happens it would probably be some tools released to make it possible, with you having to "find" the windows files elsewhere.

Oh... Well...still I'm sure xda will have no business with a windows port of it is closed source

A windows port if a similiar HTC one is released for that os will not happen. Everything down to the bootloaders and partition format will be different and locked. Hardware will probably be completely different in the inside to accommodate the hardware restrictions of WP.
A windows phone ruu contains the os, radio, spl, and carrier partitions. Porting something like that to android and it's 10+ partitions, no.
The HD2 has windows phone since it was a dev device. Right now wp7 runs off test drivers. Android works because DFT released a custom bootloader that loads after the HTC one so they can boot any system they want.
At any rate it would be the other way around. An android port for that device would be technically possible.

Also, HTC eventually released an Android HD2 in Asia, making it even easier.

I think he wanted to intend 'a roma downloadable to be flashed in the device' -in this case I don't know-

Not until the roms are dumped.

Hi, Jacob
You can update to Windows 10 Mobile Preview only from Windows Phone 8.1
First you need to register as a Windows Insider using your Microsoft Account.
Then install Windows Insider application from Store and follow instructions.
But be aware, because current builds are unstable

Sure thing. I can't say whether the XP drivers are included as I have never run XP on my Shift.

Flanimal send me the same link last year. The drivers are great for vista and 7.
Thanks again Flanimal!
I have not yet been able to find the windows XP drivers....
What i have read. If you want speed install the Windows 8.1 Embedded edition. I did not try this myself yet.
It is supposed to be windows 10 but really stripped down. Also known as "Windows 9"
I'm currently running Vista and just got the Windows mobile side Liberated. yaay
Now i can get back to windows 7 an linux
