14 DAY TRIAL // Just like Windows 8, the new 8.1 also comes with N and KN versions, which boast basically the same features as the original build of the OS, but do not include Windows Media Player and related technologies.
Microsoft has just made the Media Feature Pack available for download separately, thus giving users of these particular versions of Windows 8.1 the option to install Media Player on their computers as well.
According to Microsoft, this pack works with the following OS versions: Windows 8.1 N, Windows 8.1 Pro N, Windows 8.1 Enterprise N, or Windows 8.1 KN, Windows 8.1 Pro KN, and Windows 8.1 Enterprise KN.
The 32-bit version of the package comes as a 60 MB download, while the 64-bit version has approximately 85 MB in size.
