Windows 8.1 Enterprise - buy the maximum efficiency as a single license Windows 8.1 Enterprise is the most comprehensive edition of Microsoft's operating system version 8.1 - it offers a fundamental overhaul of the previous version while retaining its key innovations: in particular, the visually completely new Metro design, which for the first time offers a uniform user interface across all end devices. The so-called "Modern UI" design (UI = "User Interface") displays all frequently used apps and other tools in simple, minimalist icons in tile form. Under the innovative desktop interface, which now also includes the familiar home screen of the older versions, Windows 8.1, especially in the Enterprise edition, offers a whole range of important exclusive functions and options that are indispensable in companies, especially for the creation and management of networks - including comprehensive security and data protection: In addition to Windows To Go, which allows users to take the entire Windows 8.1 operating system with them on the go via a USB stick, this includes DirectAccess, for establishing a remote connection between client computers and company networks even without a VPN, as well as AppLocker, which can be used to restrict the execution of programs and scripts on end devices, and BranchCache for accelerated data access in company networks. The purchase of the 8.1 Enterprise Edition as used software from Softwarehandel24 offers users the advantage of being able to use this operating system, which was offered by Microsoft exclusively as a volume license, as a single license. In addition, Windows 8.1 Enterprise is compatible with many older hardware systems, which further expands the circle of users. In Softwarehandel24 Onlineshop you can find Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition as well as other Windows operating systems as single-user purchase version in different editions, which the regular trade does not carry, as well as many other Microsoft programs. The following overview presents all the typical exclusive features of Windows 8.1 Enterprise, as well as important general features of Windows 8.1. Exclusive features of the Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition The Windows 8.1 Enterprise with its exclusive plus of functions and features is mainly designed for larger companies and organizations for which remote availability plays an important role in addition to network administration. The following features in particular make up the decisive added value of Windows 8.1 Enterprise here: Windows To Go Creator With Windows To Go, users of Windows 8.1. Enterprise have everything they need to immediately use Windows 8.1 Enterprise on any end device in one hand: as a USB stick. This feature expands the possibilities for using the Windows operating system even on non-company computers, for example by freelancers or only temporary employees, who thus also gain temporary access to the network. With features such as Start Screen Control, the start screen can be defined in advance by the administrator in order to define uniform use across all users. DirectAccess DirectAccess allows for Windows 8.1. Enterprise to create a proprietary, IPv6-based remote connection that allows users to access resources on a corporate network without having to start VPN. Administrators can use it conversely to access remote users' machines to change policies and update software, for example. BranchCache BranchCache is used in Windows 8.1. Enterprise to optimize the transfer of content over wide area networks (WANs) - it can be used to cache content from file, remote and web servers on local clients and servers. As soon as files change at the source, Windows 8.1 Enterprise does not transfer the complete files, but only the blocks that have changed. This also applies when accessing via DirectAccess or other VPN scenarios. The advantage is thus the reduction of network traffic and the increase in access speed to all content. BranchCache can be particularly useful when connecting branch offices. AppLocker This exclusive feature in Windows 8.1. Enterprise restricts access rights to run certain programs and scripts to strengthen the security of end devices as well as the data on them. SideLoading SideLoading allows with Windows 8.1. Enterprise to install internal company apps on domain PCs and tablets without using the "official" method for deployment. In addition, SideLoading provides access to more apps on mobile devices than through commercial app stores such as Google Play. Other features in Windows 8.1 that are important to businesses Enterprise As the most comprehensive of all Windows 8.1 editions, Windows 8.1 Enterprise also offers other features that are especially important for businesses, especially when it comes to creating and administering networks and security: BitLocker - So that the hardware is always protected. Sometimes it's quite banal: The laptop just drives on in the subway in front of your own eyes, lies forgotten on the seat in the train - or was actually stolen! To ensure that all sensitive company or personal data stored on it cannot be misused by the "finder", the integrated BitLocker prevents this by encrypting it securely. BitLocker To Go is the counterpart for the encryption of USB sticks and external hard drives. Domain Join for managing endpoints in a corporate network is an important feature, especially for remote provisioning of data and programs. Domain join allows a computer to connect to a corporate network offline via Access Directory - without the need for a physical or VPN connection. Using the integrated Domain Controller, IT administrators manage all network computers united under one domain. Policies are created and managed centrally via DirectAccess, so network computers share a common database and security policy. It can also be used to manage BYOD scenarios (Bring your own Device - mostly private end devices that do not belong to a specific domain). Hyper-V is used to virtualize data centers. The version also integrated in Windows 8.1 Enterprise can be used for client virtualization, so that virtual servers can be moved or copied between Hyper-V hosts even while the system is running; this also includes hard disk images in VDHX format. Individual systems can be fully isolated with Hyper-V, which also provides security features such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Network Address Translation (NAT) to manage IPv4 addresses. Other security features include enhanced end-to-end security with Trusted Boot and Secure Boot, Windows Defender and Microsoft SmartScreen to detect malicious software behind a URL, Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt files on NTFS volumes of Windows NT-based operating systems, and Windows Firewall. Typical additions and new features for the entire Windows 8.1 release The Windows 8.1. operating system retains the typical fundamentally revised design compared to the previous version Windows 8, but Microsoft responded to requests from many users and now offers some changes with the improved version, which make it easier to use. "Modern UI" tile look and Charms Bar The start screen of Windows 8.1 Enterprise and the other editions still shows the new Metro design with the monochrome tiles. However, users can now switch to the familiar older Start menu view by clicking on the Windows button. Here, they can change important settings directly via right-click or execute functions like restarting or shutting down immediately. In addition, Windows 8.1. offers the following: In Windows version 8.1 Enterprise etc., four tile sizes (Large, Wide, Medium, Small) are available to further customize the icons. More important apps can thus be displayed more prominently on the desktop, with the larger display also showing more functions/live information. A separate "Help and Tips" app is available for this purpose to explain further options. Even with open apps, the active programs in Windows 8.1 can now be displayed in freely selectable sizes - depending on the screen resolution, the simultaneous display of up to four open apps is possible. The display size remains variable even after opening. Windows 8.1. also offers new setting options for the Charms Bar, a tool that was also introduced with the previous version. This gives users immediate access to the five Standard functions "Start, Settings, Devices, Search, Share". Those who want to do without it can also deactivate the Charms Bar in Windows 8.1 Enterprise, as well as the switching function between apps. Furthermore, in addition to the previous integrated Standard desktop backgrounds, you can also display your own or downloaded photos or several in alternation. Update for SkyDrive SkyDrive, Microsoft's online storage service, now has a more powerful synchronization that only updates folders and thumbnails, versus the complete automatic data synchronization with end devices. Files are now only actually updated and downloaded after double-clicking, which saves hard drive resources, and the feature is also especially useful when the Internet connection is weak. New apps in Windows 8.1 There are various new apps for the entire Windows 8.1 version and thus also the 8.1 Enterprise edition, which can be used to do practical things. These include the Calculator app for simple calculations, but also for converting units of measurement, the Alarm clock app including a countdown timer and stopwatch, the Cooking and Enjoyment app with many recipes and a shopping list, and the Sound Recorder app for your own sound recordings, which can be saved directly from the app to SkyDrive. The Photos app contains basic image editing functions, e.g. to adjust the exposure and the color tone. All apps can now also be grouped according to individual preferences.

Windows 8.1 Pro - the powerful version of the innovative Microsoft operating system as used software Windows 8.1 Professional is Microsoft's convincing answer for all users who were not satisfied with the previous version. The main reason for this was the completely revised so-called Metro design, which displayed the programs and other features in visually reduced, monochrome icons in the style of tablet and smartphone interfaces, also known as tiles due to their square basic shape. In addition to the return of the familiar home screen  , Windows 8.1 offers a plus of further improvements and, especially in the Pro edition for companies, a whole range of indispensable business functions, which are essential for the management of networks and the related security rules as well as the protection of data. Windows 8.1 Pro - designed for use in SMBs - offers features such as Domain Join to allow end devices to access a network even when offline, BitLocker to protect data, especially on mobile devices, and the powerful Hyper-V virtualization technology.  The purchase of the 8.1 Pro Edition offers the great advantage that this Windows operating system can also be used on older hardware systems. In the Softwarehandel24 online store, you can find Windows 8.1 Pro as a single-user purchase version, as well as other editions, older or newer operating systems, and many other Microsoft programs. The following overview first presents the most important new features of Windows 8.1 Pro, followed by important features of the entire Windows 8.1 version. Features of the Windows 8.1 Pro edition Windows 8.1 Pro, with its additional features and characteristics, is primarily aimed at those companies and power users for whom network security and virtualization in particular play an important role. The following features offer comprehensive possibilities here: Domain Join in Windows 8.1 Pro One of the key features of the Windows 8.1 Pro edition is the Domain Join feature - essential for companies to manage end devices in a network. Domain join allows computers to connect offline to a corporate network via Access Directory without the need for a physical or VPN connection. Offline domain join is governed by DirectAccess policies, including defining remote provisioning rules. All network computers united under a domain are managed by an IT administrator via a domain controller - a server for central authentication of computers and users in a computer network - so they have a common database and security policy as well as a unique name. Using the built-in Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), they can modify the domain policy or create new ones. Windows 8.1 Pro also makes this process easier than with older versions. It also makes it easier for administrators to manage bring-your-own-device (BYOD) scenarios involving devices that don't belong to a specific domain, which typically include personal mobile devices such as laptops, tablets or smartphones. Hyper-V for Windows 8.1 Pro Also integrated into Windows 8.1 Pro is the new version of the Hyper-V virtualization technology. This offers the ability to completely isolate individual systems, as well as the use of various security features such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) at the hardware level, and Network Address Translation (NAT) to manage IPv4 addresses. Hyper-V is used to virtualize data centers as well as smaller environments. With the version available in Windows 8.1 Pro, Hyper-V can also be used for client virtualization. Virtual servers can thus be moved or copied between Hyper-V hosts while the system is running. In addition, Hyper-V also handles images of hard disks in virtual hard disk (or VDHX) format. Secure hard disk encryption with BitLocker How quickly it happens that a tablet and laptop is lost or even stolen. Much more critical than the loss of the mobile device is the fact that sensitive or even personal data stored on it can no longer be used or misused. BitLocker, which is integrated into Windows 8.1 Pro, at least prevents this data from being viewed by unauthorized persons or used for criminal purposes by securely encrypting it. For this purpose, the practical "BitLocker To Go" tool also offers the option of encrypting USB sticks and external hard drives. More features in Windows 8.1 Pro In addition, the Pro edition of Windows 81st offers enhanced end-to-end security with Trusted Boot and Secure Boot, Windows Firewall, as well as Windows Defender and Microsoft SmartScreen, a filter to detect malicious software that could be loaded from a URL. And with the Encrypting File System (EFS), files on NTFS disks can be securely encrypted under Windows NT-based operating systems, so that they remain confidential and protected even if unauthorized persons gain access to them through poorly protected access rights or the theft of disks. The most important general innovations and features of the Windows 8.1 version Version 8.1. retains many of the basic innovations of the previous version Windows 8, but improves on many details with which users did not get along or were not satisfied. Basically, the idea of offering a uniform user interface across all devices running Windows 8.1 has been retained. Tiled look "Modern UI The typical tile look of the new operating system is the most striking feature for users: Instead of the previous list with all frequently used programs, etc., all used and Standard apps are now shown in a so-called "Modern UI" design - where UI stands for "User Interface" - also called Metro design by Microsoft. In version 8.1 Pro, but also in the other editions, users can switch to the Start menu view familiar from older versions of the operating system by clicking on the conspicuous button with the flag. Right-clicking gives them direct access to important Windows settings, as well as the options to restart or shut down the system. Users with Windows 8.1 also have the choice of whether the operating system starts with the tile interface or loads the desktop right away. For the choice of background, users can now display their own photos, etc. instead of the integrated pre-selection of pictures. There is also the option to display several photos in alternation. New: The size and shape of the tiles can now be customized to your own preferences. The aim of the completely new Modern UI design was originally to create a uniform appearance across all end devices - i.e. from PCs or laptops to tablets and smartphones - whereby the tile design is more visually appealing on a smaller mobile phone than on a desktop screen. Version 8.1. pro etc. now offers four tile sizes: Large, Wide, Medium and Small. This allows unimportant or rarely used apps to be visually less noticeable, while for popular apps, such as the new Weather app, the larger display makes it easier to use the preview function, as it also shows a lot of live information. Also, the larger displays include a short text info about which program it is, which is helpful for orientation in more technical apps. Helpful: For users who are not (yet) familiar with the Windows 8.1 tile concept, Microsoft has integrated its own app "Help and Tips", with hints for operation, as well as explanatory texts and videos. Show four apps at the same time with Windows 8.1 Pro When apps are open, Windows 8.1 displays the active tile programs in freely selectable sizes next to each other - compared to the 8 version, which permanently displayed the first app on one third of the screen width and the second app on two thirds of the width. The display can be used particularly well on end devices with a high-resolution screen. On desktop screens with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, even four open apps can be displayed. By moving the dividing line, the size of the apps can also be varied after opening. Which app is currently active is indicated by three dots on the dividing line. New apps in Windows 8.1 Windows 8.1. offers - of course also in the Professional Edition - a number of new apps, which some users have surely missed from the smartphone, among others: Calculator app: this lets you perform simple calculations and conversions of measurements, such as kilometers to miles. The app also has a scientific view with more complicated formulas. Alarm clock app: In addition to the typical alarm functions, the alarm clock also offers a countdown timer and a stopwatch. Soundrecorder app: The well-known audio recorder is now part of Windows Blue: The app can be used to make and edit sound recordings, which can also be saved to SkyDrive. Cooking and Enjoyment" app: Here, cooking enthusiasts will find many illustrated recipes for many occasions. The integrated shopping list function makes it particularly practical to use on a smartphone. To create an overview in the flood of old and new apps, they can be grouped together in Windows 8.1, which makes clicking through long lists unnecessary. Charms Bar in Windows 8.1 In addition, settings options are available to turn off typical new Windows 8 controls, such as the Charms Bar. The idea of the Charms Bar introduced with Windows 8 is to provide users with direct access to the five important functions "Search, Share, Start, Devices and Settings". It becomes active as soon as a user moves the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the screen, and fades in. In Windows 8.1 Pro, etc., it is easier to disable the Charms Bar if it is not needed. Moreover, the function to switch between individual apps can also be disabled by clicking on the upper left corner of the monitor. SkyDrive Microsoft's online storage, SkyDrive, has been revised once again for release 8.1. This is particularly evident in the synchronization: While previously, when copying files into SkyDrive via Windows Explorer, the automatic data synchronization of all files stored there with all end devices took place, SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 only synchronizes the folders and thumbnails. The storage service only downloads a file when it is double-clicked. This new setting is especially useful when some of the devices used have less hard drive space and the Internet connection is weaker. All data, both locally and stored in SkyDrive, is managed via the new SkyDrive app. The Windows 8.1 also stores important PC settings and certain backup files in SkyDrive as well. Hardware requirements for installing Windows 8.1 Pro, among others. In order for Windows 8.1 Pro to run smoothly on an end device, it must meet certain hardware requirements. Windows 8.1 Pro is available in a 32-bit and a 64-bit version, only the 64-bit guarantees that certain programs and apps can be fully used. The following basic technical properties must be met when installing Windows 8.1: Processor: min. 1 GHz, with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 RAM: at least 1 GB for 32-bit or 2 GB RAM for 64-bit Hard disk space: at least 16 GB for 32-bit or 20 GB for 64-bit Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 with WDDM driver Buy Windows 8.1 Pro at Softwarehandel24 at a reasonable price in the online store Windows 8.1 Pro is offered - if at all - in the conventional trade as a new single license at a not insignificant price.
