Product details say this comes with Windows 8 64-bit OS, but the technical details say it comes with Windows 7 Home Edition. Which is correct?

As stated it comes with Windows 8 and I've already installed the Windows 8.1 Update; it runs even faster.

I can install Win 7 home premium 64 bit on this computer for an additional $100. You will get official Win 7 disc dvd + COA license. Configuration + drivers install included. Please email me this request when checking out on Amazon. Thanks!

It comes with Windows 8.0 64-bit. I found out that Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit OEM runs best since the OEM version automatically installs the needed hardware drivers. Note that the AMD CPU is not compatible with a few programs. It also cannot be configured to run Windows 7 as many casual users want the same OS at home as at work and Microsoft recently purged Windows 7 from the retail market.

Mine came with a Windows 7 Professional installation CD, presumably that was the OS installed before I replaced it with Linux.

My system came installed with Windows 7 Pro and also came with Windows 8 Pro DVDs. So, it comes with both.

Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. As are the Windows 8 Pro recovery disks included in the box.

The unit I ordered had Windows 7 installed by the seller. If you can have the seller install Win7 you are going to be better off. Win 7 is the best Operating System to date. Very, very stable software. Better than 8 or any others And this is coming from Computer experts and my own experience.

The current (5/30/14) version on Amazon is advertised as being configured with Windows 7 Home Premium. It had better come with that I just ordered it and I really don't like W8. I bought a W8 laptop for my nieces birthday and set it up for her then she loaded 8.1 and a lot of system changed.

I bought one early this year, same specs except it came with Win7 Pro 32bit.Did not ship with "system recovery disk set" or a recovery partition on the HD. Later, I was sent a "system image" and a Win7 repair disk as an after request. All vendors are different at to what you get in the box, despite the generic description. If you don't get what is listed, complain to the vendor first.

My Asus N61JQ-X1 came with Windows 7 Home 64 bit. It's 64-bit, but 32 bit software runs on it just fine.

The CPU is x64 based processor so I am going to take a wild guess, Yes Windows 8 should be 64bit as well otherwise it will not recognize the entire 4GB anyway but I highly doubt it will be Pro Edition... Most likely Home Edition. --Edit There is no such thing as Home, there is 8/8.1 and 8/8.1 Pro but it is comparable to the home vs pro in previous versions of Windows.

Hi the computer comes with windows 8. I had to change it to win 7 due to incompatibility with some software at the office so I can't tell you right now which version it came with. It doesn't include office.

Windows 7 64 bit. Bought it specifically to avoid getting Windows 8, an inferior OS for a desktop.

Mine came with windows 8. I removed it and installed 7. Made the mistake of reinstalling 8.1 and still hate it.

When I bought it (june 2013) it came with Windows 8. NOT the newest version Windows 8.1

Not sure what it came with. I thought Windows 8 but I was able to upgrade to 8.1 PRO for free. I checked the little documentation that came with the unit and it does not state what OS it included when I purchased it.
