Doesn't come with any discs or warranty. Mine didn't last 30 days! They offered to fix it for more than I paid for it. I wouldn't recommend it!

You have to select the computer based on the OS as I did. I needed an XP OS, so that is what I bought and was specified. They sell laptops with all kinds of different Operating Systems. BTW, I recommend the seller and the laptops I bought from them (2).

Hi Really depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation. If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine. The install took 15gb of my hard disk

Mine had windows 7 installed but it comes with the Disc to install Windows 8.1. You can install either system, but can't install them as a dual boot system. Either one or the other.

I ordered mine installed with Windows 7 ("downgrade" option). It came with disks for both operating systems and (I think) disks for recovering both operating systems.

I can answer that. I still have the instructions for it. it says:"Supports Operating Systems: Windows 7. Vista and XP." I have used this many times not only for my self but my friends. It is an excellent program and easy to use.

Mine came with XP. Should have done my homework! Bought in Jan and lost support by April.

Hi, no, ours came with Windows XP installed and included a disc. Very good deal, decent refurb, still working.

That computer comes with Windows Vista... Its pretty old computer -- you'd be better off investing your money into something newer. It does have Nvidia onboard graphics... I mean it works but it depends on what you want to do. If you're trying to play games, this won't work. If you're trying to browse email, watch youtube videos and basic ordinary stuff... Yeah this should work fine. But I still highly recommend you buy something else that is newer. Good luck

It came with windows 7. I emailed the company and told them the situation and they sent an XP hard drive free of charge and didn't want the Windows 7 back. They sent it next day delivery. They were very prompt and helpful.

Mine came with Windows 8. If you are used to XP then you will have a difficult time with windows 8. However, it is worth learning as this is a touch screen machine. The windows 8.1 download will help get the operating system to more closely resemble XP so I recommend downloading it (free download from Microsoft) when you set this machine up.

Ask HP if they'd give you a Windows XP recovery CD. You know... you could probably find an XP torrent if you can't get the disk from HP. You're entitled I think, since you have a license for Vista already. Or... you can get a Mac which has an OS better than XP (and can install XP as well). Check it out. I think ChangeWave reported that 20% of people really liked Vista while 50% really liked XP. That's good reason to "downgrade" to XP, right? If you'd agree, realize that the same study showed that 80% of people really liked Mac OS X Leopard.

Vista and 7 are virtually the same in terms of system requirements. It has Vista 32bit, meaning you need Win7 32bit. A 64bit OS will not work.

Hi,I still have the packaging and it lists Windows Vista as a supported OS, it also lists Windows 7 (no mention of 32 or 64 bit) but I can confirm it works well with Windows 7 64-bit.Hope this helps you in taking the plunge.Listiel W.

I doubt it. In the system requirements, under OS it only says Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Mine came with XP which was described in the both the description and tech details. It appears they offer Windows 7 refurbs as well.

Mine came with windows 8 installed, however if you want another Operating system you may need to install it yourself.

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