Windows 10 - N And KN Versions

Around since Windows XP. If you know your system has either Windows N or KN installed, it is important that you download the relevant version of Windows 10. Upgrade paths must follow the previous version, e.g. Windows 7 Pro N upgrades to Windows 10 Pro N

The N version of Windows comes without a media player baked into the system. This version stems from a European Commission order back in 2004, which fined Microsoft €497 million for anti-competitive practices.

The KN version stems from an antitrust ruling in South Korea. This version removes Windows' media playing capabilities. At the time, it also removed the now-defunct Windows Messenger. The December 2005 ruling by the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) also fined Microsoft $34 million.

Microsoft released the Media feature pack for Windows 10 N and Windows 10 KN editions recently. It can be used to add the missing components and applications to Windows 10 to restore the functionality when installed, it will turn the N or KN version into a regular version of Windows 10.
