Windows 8.1 Pro OEM

Product detailed description

Microsoft has improved what you already know well

The desktop you're used to - with familiar folders and icons - is still here. And not only that - thanks to the task manager and more efficient file management, it's actually better than ever. You can tap or click to go to the desktop and back to the start screen at any time.

Customize Windows to your liking

Photos, news from friends, favorite apps and websites - you can put what's most important on your home screen. Choose your colors and arrange things the way you like. You turn your favorite apps, websites, and people into tiles that you can resize, move, and arrange as you like. Some tiles display information using animations, so you'll immediately notice what's new. You will immediately be informed of status updates, weather forecasts and tweets after logging in. A slideshow of your favorite photos appears on the lock screen. Plus, you can take Skype calls and take photos before you unlock your computer. Instead of entering a password, you can unlock your computer by drawing strokes on a picture with your finger or mouse. Triple tap or click on your dog's snout? Depicting a smile on your toddler's face? That's up to you.

See more, do more

In Windows 8.1, you can work the way you want and seamlessly transition from one to the other. While chatting with a friend, find a Wikipedia article and discuss it. Watch a video while you're polishing your resume. Depending on how big your screen is, you can display up to four apps at once.

Your Windows wherever you need it

When you sign in to any Windows 8.1 PC with your Microsoft account, you'll see the same layout, apps, and settings.

SkyDrive - always have your files at hand

SkyDrive is a free online storage service that is included with Windows 8.1. You can automatically save documents, photos, and other files to SkyDrive so you can access them anytime from any computer or device. You can also use SkyDrive to protect your files if something happens to your computer. SkyDrive can also be used to share and collaborate with others and view files on mobile or non-Windows devices.

Internet Explorer 11 - fast, smooth and perfect for touch

Internet Explorer 11 is designed for touch - now has larger tabs, simpler controls, and responds smoothly to gestures. Internet Explorer takes advantage of hardware acceleration, so websites load faster and browsing is smoother.

Skype, video, voice and instant messaging

You can quickly and easily call any phone number. All video and voice calls between Skype users are free, and messages are delivered to you instantly, no matter what you're doing.
