Product description
The top business edition of Windows 8.1
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Windows 8.1 Enterprise is the business edition of Windows 8.1 with BitLocker encryption, Client Hyper-V virtualisation and Windows To Go, which lets you start a work environment from a certified USB drive. It runs both Windows Store apps and classic desktop programs. Support for Windows 8.1 ended on 10 January 2023, so the system is best suited to legacy applications, testing and devices that newer versions of Windows do not support. The licence works with both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version.
Windows To Go
An enterprise feature that creates a Windows 8.1 workspace you can boot from a certified USB drive on PCs certified for Windows 7 or later.
BitLocker encryption
Protects the data on your drives; on InstantGo devices, automatic device encryption can be extended with BitLocker features.
Client Hyper-V
Built-in virtualisation for test environments and other operating systems – in the 64-bit version on a SLAT-capable processor with 4 GB of RAM.
Protection from start-up
Secure Boot, Trusted Boot and Measured Boot guard the start-up process, while Windows Defender protects against viruses and other malware.
Fingerprints and virtual smart cards
Sign in with a fingerprint and use multi-factor authentication with virtual smart cards whose certificates are protected by the TPM chip.

Frequently asked questions
Does Windows 8.1 still receive updates?
No. Support for Windows 8.1 ended on 10 January 2023, and Microsoft does not offer an Extended Security Updates (ESU) programme for it. Microsoft Edge 109 was the last supported browser, and Microsoft 365 apps are no longer supported on Windows 8.1. The system keeps working, but without security updates.
How does Enterprise differ from Pro?
Both editions offer BitLocker encryption and Client Hyper-V virtualisation. Windows To Go – booting your corporate Windows from a certified USB drive – is an enterprise feature you get with the Enterprise edition.
Where can I download the installation media?
Microsoft no longer offers Windows 8.1 for download – its software download page only links to the Windows 8.1 lifecycle information. You therefore need your own Windows 8.1 Enterprise installation media in the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
Is the licence transferable?
Yes, this is a transferable licence. You can move it to another computer once you stop using it on the original one and remove the product key there (with the slmgr.vbs /upk command in an elevated Command Prompt).
Does the licence work with both 32-bit and 64-bit?
Yes, the licence key activates both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Client Hyper-V requires the 64-bit version.
What language will the system be in?
The default language depends on your installation media. You can add more languages in the Language section of Control Panel – including Czech, Slovak, Polish and Hungarian.

Installation and activation
- Prepare Windows 8.1 Enterprise installation media (32-bit or 64-bit) – Microsoft no longer offers Windows 8.1 for download. Boot the computer from the media and install the system.
- On the Start screen, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt in the results and choose Run as administrator.
- Enter the command slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (replace the Xs with the licence key from your e-mail) and press Enter.
- Enter the command slmgr.vbs /ato – Windows will try to activate online, so the computer must be connected to the internet.
- Use slmgr.vbs /dli to display the licence information and confirm that the system is activated.
