Microsoft first confirmed in the blog that "Win8.1 with Bing (Win8.1 Bing Edition)" is provided free of charge to OEM partners. At the same time, with the latest Win8.1 Update platform, Microsoft allows the corresponding hardware partners to produce cheaper hardware devices (lower version). These tablets, laptops, ultrabooks and other devices only need 1G memory, 16G storage space. .

Ordinary users can experience a smooth and perfect Win8.1 system platform by purchasing these devices.

Throughout the original text, Microsoft did not mention "only 1G devices use" system restrictions and other parameters.

With the original English text:

“And most recently with the Windows 8.1 Update, we are enabling our hardware partners to build lower cost devices with only 1GB of memory and 16GB of storage that provide Customers with the fast and fluid experience they expect from a Windows device. ”

This free version of Win8.1, Windows 8.1 with Bing, compiled based on Windows 8.1 core, further Reducing the hardware requirements, and not "only" & rdquo; 1G devices.

Since the free Win8.1 is only available to OEM partners, it is not sold separately, and later supports upgrading to Win8.1 Update, Win8.1 Update2, and even Win9 and Win10 next year.
