Windows 11 Pro N is a 64-bit PC operating system with Windows 11 productivity and Pro business features, supplied in the N edition. It is for buyers who specifically need Pro N and understand that certain media technologies are excluded from this edition.
Core and Pro capabilities
- Arrange open apps with Snap layouts and separate activities across virtual desktops.
- Use BitLocker drive encryption on eligible hardware to help protect stored data.
- Configure Remote Desktop host access to reach the PC remotely.
- Join an Active Directory domain or Microsoft Entra ID where an organization requires it.
- Use built-in Windows Security and Windows Hello sign-in with supported hardware.
What the N edition changes
Windows 11 Pro N does not include Windows Media Player and certain related media technologies found in standard Windows 11 Pro. Some media apps and features may not work as expected until the optional Media Feature Pack is installed from Microsoft. Choose this edition only if you need Pro N rather than standard Pro; the edition of the key and installation must match.
License and compatibility
This is a perpetual digital retail license for one compatible PC. The emailed key activates Windows 11 Pro N only, not standard Pro or Home. Check Windows 11 requirements, including a supported 64-bit processor, at least 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, UEFI Secure Boot capability, and TPM 2.0. Internet access is needed for setup, updates, and online features.
