The Enterprise Edition of Microsoft's operating system has been tailored to the needs of businesses by the Seattle-based software company. As a result, Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise includes, in addition to all the features of the base version of Windows 8 and the improvements from the Windows 8.1 update, various extra features missing from the end-user versions of the operating system. The operating system also comes with a revised user interface that helps the user work efficiently with the system. One of the winning features of the Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition is that it can run across multiple platforms on desktop computers, notebooks, tablets and smartphones. Thanks to optimised support for touchscreen devices, you can also work professionally on smart devices.

Greater security for business networks

IT security is an absolute priority, especially in the professional environment. Businesses with a Windows 8.1 Enterprise key get the key to maximising the security of their business networks without overly restricting employees' freedom. This security concept includes special user authentication procedures via virtual smart cards and the option to use fingerprint sensors for user authentication through the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF). In addition, AppLocker lets system administrators centrally block access to and execution of programs, scripts, clients and installers, and assign individual access rights. On top of this there's DirectAccess, which lets users access business resources without needing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.

Disk encryption and Windows To Go

Like the Enterprise version of its predecessors Windows 7 and 8, version 8.1 with BitLocker technology has also been developed specifically for professional use. The disk encryption optimised for the current version lets the user encrypt both the system drive and any hard disk drive or removable media. This BitLocker improvement is a great advantage for businesses that want to keep their sensitive data secure. Another feature in favour of Windows 8.1 Enterprise is the handy Windows To Go feature. With the help of this feature, you can immediately transfer a fully functional business operating system, including protected business applications and data, onto a bootable USB stick. Ideal for working in a secure environment with no restrictions while travelling on business.

A return to old strengths

Alongside all the innovations and special features, the business version also offers the convenience of the end-user versions. In the Enterprise Edition, for example, the Start button makes a comeback, making navigation considerably easier. The optional switch between the Metro-style interface with its familiar tiles and the standard desktop also ensures noticeably improved operation across various end devices. A Windows 8.1 Enterprise key is therefore worthwhile for all professional users looking for an operating system with a modern user interface, intuitive usability and high security standards.
