Also is there any place to download this software that is missing on the Windows 8.1 N version?

 

Apparently Windows 8.1 N is missing media software, but Microsoft aren't specific on exactly what isn't included.

How is this not specific enough

It's most likely nothing to worry about.

This version of Windows 8.1 N includes the same functionality as Windows 8.1, except that it doesn't include certain media-related technologies (Windows Media Player, Music, Video, Skype). As a result, you'll need software from Microsoft or a third party to play or create audio CDs, media files, and video DVDs, stream music, take and store pictures, and use a webcam.

 

Honestly, with the exception of Skype you probably wouldn't use the standard software that comes with Windows anyway.

Oh I didn't see that page, thank you.
