I have upgraded to 8.1, and it seems to be working alright. I can't be sure that the issues I have experienced are due to 8.1 or to something stupid I've done or the fact that the computer is getting old. It still works and does all of the computer-y stuff it's supposed to do if that's what you're asking.

Yes ! Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit runs great. Max out the memory and add an SSD for better performance if you can

Yes. I installed Win 8 without recovery media, and activated it with the serial number in BIOS, and then upgraded to Windows 8.1 successfully.

Yes, you update accessing the Windows Store. Don't try updating in the Windows Updates, the first time that I started updating, among the following updates, there was a update that made my Windows incompatible to update to windows 8.1. I had to spend sometime to find out how to fix. If you buy this laptop on first is better you update to 8.1

That's not a question, and yes, you can have Windows 8.1. It's a free upgrade for any and all Windows 8.0 users. You just have to update the system and then use the Microsoft store app inside the machine to download and install it. Decrapifying the laptop, updating it and getting 8.1 installed will take the better part of an evening, though.

Sure can. My Windows 8.1 machine automatically detected the appropriate drivers and installed them for me.

Yes you can install 8.1 --- however, my computer crashed with a hardware problem and is now in the HP repair shop. I wish I never purchased this computer.

It seems to work fine with Windows 8.1. When I originally installed I only had Windows 8.0 but after the update I experienced 0 issues with compatibility.

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

I had Windows 8 and it worked perfectly. Then I downloaded Windows 8,1 and it still worked like a charm.
