A Windows 8.1 with Bing Product key is different than a windows 8.1 Home or Pro. Unless you have the original recovery disc, you will not be able to activate it. Furthermore, there is no way to create recovery media for for this specific version of 8.1 and even if you do get the key from the bios and type it in, windows won't accept it since it is not the same version that has been created.
As 64z said: "...its designed for low end machines as the manufacture gets it for free and has to leave the default browser as IE with bing as the default search engine...", there is hardly any difference whatsoever, for more info, check out this article created by HowToGeek.
To be honest this is a silly edition and the fact Microsoft doesn't allow you to create media is pointless as you will have to buy a new license unless you can find a way to get a recovery disc or activate it somehow
What does everyone else think?
