The main difference between Windows 11 N and the standard edition therefore lies in the missing media features. While the regular edition of Windows 11 is ready to use immediately for playing music, videos, or video conferencing, the N edition offers more control but also requires some additional setup. Those who want maximum compatibility and convenience usually stick with the normal variant; those who prefer a leaner system or their own software solutions will find Windows 11 N a good choice.
Windows 11 N - Without multimedia, with full control
Windows 11 N is a special edition for Europe that offers all core features of Windows 11 but without preinstalled multimedia apps such as the Media Player or music and video tools.
Difference from the standard version
Unlike the regular version, media features in Windows 11 N must be added manually. This makes the system leaner but requires a bit more setup.
