Windows Pro N is a version of the Windows operating system specifically created for the European market due to antitrust regulations set by the European Union. The main disagreement between Windows Pro and Windows Pro N is that the latter does not include certain media-related technologies pre-installed, such as Windows Media Player, Music, Video, Voice Recorder, and Skype.
If you need these multimedia functionalities on your Windows Pro N system, Microsoft offers a separate package known as the "Media Feature Pack." This pack restores these missing features and functions. You can download this pack directly from the Microsoft website. Ensure you download the version corresponding to your specific edition and version of Windows (such as version 1909, 2004 etc.) for compatibility.
Another alternative is using third-party applications which often provide more features than the default Microsoft programs. For instance, VLC Media Player or KMPlayer can be excellent substitutes for Windows Media Player; they support a wide range of audio and video formats. For voice recording, Audacity is a highly recommended tool due to its versatility and rich editing features.
It's also worth noting that while these solutions add back much of what's missing in Windows Pro N versions, software updates from Microsoft may still be necessary to keep your system secure and functioning properly with other types of integrated media services provided by third-party apps.
