Free version of Win8.1 only for 1G memory devices? nonsense!

Yesterday, Microsoft officially released the free version of Win8.1, promised to "free" to OEM manufacturers to pre-install new machines, even 1G memory devices can get a smooth experience. Individual media mistakenly believe that the free version of Win8.1 is only allowed to use 1G memory devices. Is this really the case? To this end, the IT House specifically queries the official Microsoft blog (click here to view).
Microsoft first confirmed in the blog that "Win8.1 with Bing (Win8.1 Bing Edition)" is free 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 who purchase these devices can also experience a smooth and perfect Win8.1 system platform.
The whole text, Microsoft did not mention the "only 1G device use" system limit and other parameters.




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, which is Windows 8.1 with Bing, is compiled based on Windows 8.1 core, further reducing the hardware requirements, and there is no "only" 1G device use.
Because the free Win8.1 is only available to OEM partners, not separately retail sales, later support upgrade to Win8.1 Update, Win8.1 Update2, and even next year's Win9, Win10.
