I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate N and installation went very smoothly and I got up and running within minutes. After playing around around with it for a few minutes, I noticed that the Aero features were not working – so I headed straight to the Control Panel to get my Windows Experience Index computed. But everytime I clicked on the compute button, I kept getting this error message:
“The windows experience index for your system could not be computed.
Cannot complete the requested assesment. This system does not have the necessary multi-media support to run the requested assessment.”
After spending sometime Googling, I found out that Windows 7 Ultimate N doesn’t come with Windows Media Player pre-installed. I headed straight to the link below, downloaded and installed Windows Media Player and computed Windows Experience Index again and now I have a rather impressive score of 4.7!
