What version of Windows 8 does it come with? Pro or Home?

I have home. Then I upgraded to 8.1. It really is an OK computer. The company helped me. I was working with pictures that were 2700 pixels and hundreds of them and it was affecting my machine. They helped me reset my bios and showed me how to make the same photos smaller and the computer now runs fine.

I can't tell what version it comes with - I have used the free upgrade to 8.1 and even there, the PC info page does not identify the specific version. Sorry.

No you need the cheaper 'upgrade' version because you are technically upgrading from win8 regular to pro.

It now comes with Windows 7 Home. If you would like Windows 8.1 you can let us know after you have ordered and we can change it for you.

The old version is windows 8 or 8 with media pro both have available free downloads to upgrade to the new 8.1 or you will have to buy the windows 8.1 Full Install I beleive that it runs about 120 dollars at most retail stores ...Just as a side note you need to make sure that you have windows 7 or later before you purchase you cannot do the install from the other operating systems .Also a word to the wise although your system might meet all the requirements Microsoft didnt bother to tell everybody that their new windows isent compatible with some processor chips (example the dell dimmensions 8300 pentium 4) processor chip wont allow you to to switch to nk which it needs to run the system some processors wont work with this system make sure to check all your specs befor purchase

It comes with Windows 8 pro. After the automatic updates are downloaded and installed it will get updated to Windows 8.1 pro

Hmmm... I thought Amazon had straightened this out. When I ordered mine the add specified Windows 7 Pro, but it actually came with Window 7 Home. I got a $50.00 refund because of the error. Let Amazon know.

This model comes with Windows 8 pre-loaded. Consider C6Z38UT which comes with Windows 7 Pro (but a bit more expensive because of Pro version)

It comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed, but you can upgrade it to Windows 8 Pro via its disc.

It depends on what you buy. You can buy 8.1 Pro in the first place, or you can buy upgrades. If you have Windows 8 already installed, you'll want to do the free Windows 8.1 update. Then you can go to the Microsoft store and do the Professional upgrade. You have two choices there. Buy the upgrade online, or if you've bought it elsewhere, you can just put in the license code.

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

You can get it with Windows 7 Home Premium, it is model 2311 (as opposed to this model with Windows 8, 2310). If you need the features of Windows 7 Pro, you can buy the "anytime upgrade" from Microsoft, although it's prohibitively expensive. Occasionally they sell on eBay for ~$40. If you live near a MicroCenter, they have the 2311 model for $350.

Mine came with Windows 8 pre-loaded. My wife has had a tough time getting used to 8 but it's not too bad.

The units I got came loaded with Windows 7 Professional. They technically have a Windows 8 Professional license, but are running Windows 7 through the downgrade rights which are included with the Windows 8 Professional license. They ship with Windows 8 recovery disks, so if you want to Windows 7 recovery disks be sure to use the built in tool to create those before you actually need them.

It is Windows 7 Pro and comes with CD's to upgrade to Windows 8 OS and drivers

The laptop comes with Windows 8.1 Standard installed. The standard edition will not let you join the laptop to an active directory domain or use the Hyper-V hypervisor to create virtual machines, among other things. I think the upgrade to Pro can be found for around $100.

I have bought 2 of these ... the first came with Win 7 Home and the second came with Win 7 Pro. It was very clearly stated in the product description which version it was shipping with.

If I remember right it comes with a trial version. Have to pay to get it permanently. Research Windows 8 though before you buy. You're not like it.
