N versions are IE8 and WMP12?

The N Edition is the same thing only without WMP 12 dude. I have heard that they are also harder to activate unless you have a real key. I believe the N edition comes with IE 8 still though.

No problem dude, just here to help

 

I have downloaded the MSDN Copys and IE is missing, as well as MediaPlayer and MCE. This is a simple fix with 2 downloads from MS website prior to installing just add them to the setupcomplete.cmd to have them install.

 

What I heard about N releases is that they don't includes WMP and IE. Are free from this two applications...

 

nice post, that is a little odd that yours did not come with IE because the MS UK Store says that it is only lacking WMP. Oh well, good catch though.

 

Found it odd to I was under the assumption that only WMP and MCE were missing.

 

for info, for english versions,

the N iso 64bit size is 2.70GB (2*908*555*264 bytes)
the normal one is 3GB (3*224*686*592 bytes)

for the 32 bit, the N iso is 2.07GB (2*228*641*792 bytes)
and the normal one is 2.32GB. (2*501*894*144 bytes)

 

maybe there are multiple editions of N or something like that. Or MS had a typo on there store page lol.

 

maybe that as well. Sorry guys I have never tested the N edition so I really have no idea what the difference is other then using online sources.

 

Me too lol. If you want to truely find out then install the N edition on like VMWARE or something and see exactly what is changed. lol

 

There are two versions of Windows 7 N.

The first one was without IE and without WMP but got scrapped together with the Windows 7 E version. It has *clientn* in the filename.
