Is Windows Embedded 8.1 suitable for everyday use?
I have my laptop here (metabox wa50sj) and picked it without an OS since it’s much cheaper and I want to handle it myself. My concern is whether Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro with Update can run as a daily driver. I get it for free through my school. My planned use includes MS Office, Autodesk Inventor, video/photo editing, and some gaming. Thanks!
Windows Embedded 8.1 Pro brings the complete capabilities of Windows 8.1 to devices tailored for industrial use within smart systems. Experience enhanced power handling, better connectivity, and stronger enterprise integration through a Windows 8.1-powered intelligent platform that supports business expansion.
It seems like you're describing a system with basic functionality—just regular browsers, explorer, and maybe some other essential tools—without the extra features of Windows 8.1.
You need that. My laptop has a bloated HP install, and it would have been great if I didn’t have to remove everything.
