Windows Embedded 8.1is a family of operating systems, initially positioned to work on terminals, ATMs, self-service systems, for equipment used in production, medicine, trade, presentation, security, etc. These operating systems are based on desktop versions of Windows 8.1, but they are distinguished by optimization for low-power hardware by reworking the system kernel, which, for a minute, can give a second chance to life for weak computers. Plus, Windows Embedded 8.1 lacks certain functionality that comes with the corresponding desktop versions. In particular, Windows Embedded 8.1 installs without much of the Metro functionality. On board there is only the Store, the OneDrive client, the "Photos", "Camera" applications and the Metro version of the Internet Explorer browser.



Windows Embedded 8.1 allows, like a regular desktop version, to connect a Microsoft account and use its capabilities, in particular, to synchronize data between authorized devices. The only thing is that Windows Media Center cannot be implemented in it, which, to be honest, few people use, preferring third-party programs to work with media content. Well, the industrial version of the system weighs two and a half times less than its desktop counterpart.

The assembly includes only those editions of the Windows Embedded 8.1 family that can be comfortably used on ordinary desktop computers. Well, as you may have guessed from the SevenMod nameplate in the assembly name, I added some functionality on my own.

Here is the successor to the assembly Windows Embedded 8.1 RUS-ENG x86-x64 -8in1- SevenMod (AIO). The changes are minor. For the most part, this is updating Windows Embedded 8.1 updates to the release date of the assembly. Nevertheless, please love and favor!
