How to Download and Install Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing

Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing is a special edition of Windows 8.1 that is designed for low-cost devices and comes with Bing as the default search engine in Internet Explorer. This edition is not available for purchase, but it is preinstalled on some devices by the manufacturers. If you have a device that came with Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing, you may want to reinstall it or create a backup media in case of system failure. However, Microsoft does not provide an official ISO file for this edition, so you will need to use some alternative methods to get it.

In this article, we will show you how to download and install Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing using two different methods: using a generic Windows 8.1 ISO file and modifying it, or using a third-party tool that can extract the edition from your device.

Method 1: Using a Generic Windows 8.1 ISO File

This method involves downloading a generic Windows 8.1 ISO file from Microsoft’s website and modifying it to include the Single Language with Bing edition. You will need a valid Windows 8.1 product key (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) to download the ISO file and activate Windows after installation.

  1. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows8ISO and select your language and edition from the drop-down menus. The editions below are valid for both Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Professional.[^1^] [^2^]
  2. Click on Confirm and then choose either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your device’s architecture.
  3. Click on Save to download the ISO file to your computer.
  4. Once the download is complete, you will need to modify the ISO file to include the Single Language with Bing edition. To do this, you will need a tool called UltraISO, which you can download from https://www.ultraiso.com/download.html.
  5. Install and run UltraISO on your computer and open the ISO file you downloaded in step 3.
  6. Go to File > Properties and change the Volume Label to “WIN81SLBING”. This is important because this is how Windows identifies the edition during installation.
  7. Go to File > Save As and save the modified ISO file as “WIN81SLBING.iso”.
  8. You can now use this ISO file to create a bootable USB flash drive or DVD using a tool like Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.[^1^] [^2^]
  9. Boot your device from the USB or DVD and follow the installation instructions. When prompted for a product key, enter the one that came with your device or skip this step if your device has a digital license.
  10. After installation, you should have Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing activated on your device.
