Windows 8

Windows 8 - an operating system developed by Microsoft as a successor to Windows 7. It was released in 2012 and introduced significant updates, introducing new features and improvements.

• Windows 8 Core:This is the most basic version of Windows 8, designed for regular home users. It includes the core functions of the operating system, such as the Metro (or Modern UI) interface, Windows Defender antivirus, Internet Explorer 10 browser, and access to installing apps from the Windows Store. However, it is limited in functionality, for example, it does not support joining a domain and does not include features like BitLocker encryption and Hyper-V virtualization.
• Windows 8 Pro:This version of Windows 8 is intended for more experienced users and business-oriented companies. In addition to all the features of Windows 8 Core, Windows 8 Pro offers additional capabilities such as domain network support, BitLocker disk encryption, remote desktop, and the ability to create virtual machines using Hyper-V. This makes Windows 8 Pro more suitable for business and professional use.
• Windows 8 Enterprise:This is the most comprehensive version of Windows 8, primarily intended for large corporations and enterprises. It includes all the features of Windows 8 Pro, as well as additional tools and capabilities such as Windows To Go (the ability to run Windows from a USB drive), AppLocker (a tool for managing access to applications), and enhanced virtualization features. Windows 8 Enterprise also offers more flexibility in computer management and provides additional security and control tools.

Thus, each of the three versions of Windows 8 has its own features and is intended for a specific audience, depending on their needs and requirements.
