I purchased one 4 weeks ago.It came with Windows 8.0 which was very difficult to work with.However, there is an easy upgrade (free) for windows 8.1 which is much better.Be prepared, you will have to purchaseOffice 2013 as the software will not accept key codes for anything but Office 2013.

My computer came with the Windows 8.1. If your machine comes with Windows 8.0 you can download Window 8.1 from the Microsoft website at no additional cost.

Mine actually is! Which I'm guessing makes it a newer model because it also has a windows button. I don't know why they haven't updated this posting...

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are latest versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system. Windows 8.1 looks similar to that of Windows 8, but consists of more advanced and updated features. Check the link below for a more explicit comparison of the two versions.Source(s):http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-windows-8-and-windows-8.1

It's windows 7 from this seller, but there are other sellers which have windows8 on this same device. Usually read product information to be sure, but this one is windows 7.

I did not get the Windows 8.1 as several people I talked to said they had some difficulty with it. All of the PC's at my company have Windows 7 installed and my unit does as well. All operate without difficulty and easy to operate.

Hi Pamela, It doesn't have the 8.1 version of Windows included. You will still need to download the 8.1 update. Microsoft provides the updates here. Its super easy but extra work. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial I hope that helps

Windows 8 is a major overhaul to the Windows setup that most people do not like. I specifically bought this computer because I did not want Windows 8. So it is probably Windows 7 because there is still some demand for it out there.

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.

If it is the same version I bought, purchased in January 2013, it did have windows 7 not 8

When I check the system applet, windows 8.1 is displayed as the operating system, rather than windows 8.1 pro. So it's either home or "standard", assuming there is such a thing.

Windows 8.1; even if it was Windows 8, you get free upgrades to the latest Windows 8.x
