Hi folks. What is the "N" edition? What is different about it from the other editions? Thanks.

The N edition is for the European market. It comes without Windows Media Player. It is the result of a European lawsuit against Microsoft for bundling non-essential apps into the OS.

Welcome to the Win 8 Forum, both of you.

Thanks for that info. I did not know about the N designation for Europe. Does this edition also not have IE and Win Defender, or are those included?

Thanks. But I have never see this edition. Does any body know the differences?

The N edition does not include Windows Media Player. This was removed to stop a lawsuit in Europe.

Thanks for your information~
