if you bought it from a third party vendor and not from Microsoft Store , you can forget about it . I had a similar experience , I got the key from 3rd party Microsoft partner . They don't respond to mails or have any help desk , after MS r contacting MS , they said they cant do anything either and suck it up ! MS can only track if it was purchased from their store .

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

I had a cd with outdated software and a product key wasn't required. Normally a product key is located on the sleeve of the cd that was provided by the seller. You might have to email them. Good Luck

No, this model comes with Windows 8.1, 64-bit. You can upgrade rather easily using the link in the System control panel. However, it may be less expensive for you to just buy a PC with 8.1 Pro pre-installed. Good luck!

One key came with my order and should have come with yours. Perhaps you should contact the company and ask them to send you one. It is difficult to open without a key.

This particular model - 367927U - ships with Pro. There are other models that ship with the base version of Windows 8.

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.

You might need to check the Rosewill website and see if they have an updated driver for windows 8.1. If it is not on the website you may need to contact them to see when and if they have that available.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are asking whether the update comes with the laptop it does not. You will need to go online and download it. It's a trick to it because of how you setup the sign on and password when you first boot into windows 8. You may not have any trouble, but if so just contact customer service for assistance in upgrading to MS Windows 8.1.

Hooch: For the price I paid, I did not expect it to have any software and it did not but I was given the gift by Microsoft of a free upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I personally do not like any one to load up my computer with what they believe I need as far as software is concerned, it means that I eventually need to delete it.

I was able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free through a download offered to me in the same manner as a regular update. The system information just says I have Windows 8.1 and gives no version. Since I have 8.1, I can't go back to determine which version of Windows 8 came installed on the computer. I don't know about Windows Professional.

This comes with a product key, but for windows 8 operating system, does not include microsoft office. I think you may have to get pro (or consider a free alternative like open office or libre office)

I'm out of town this week but will be back Friday and let you know. I used mine for 2 weeks but windows 8 wouldn't work with one of my company programs. Any chance you want to buy mine? Perfect condition, still have box etc. email me at jason@usedrides.com if interested. Jason.

To activate it, there is a code on the back. You have to register your product to make sure that no one is sending around duplicate copies. If that copy doesn't work then someone has already used that key. I would send a message to who you purchased it, or keep trying to contact windows.

It ships with a regular version of Windows 8 and then you can upgrade to Windows 8.1. It does not come with Pro - I saw that as an upgrade for $99.

Here's a link to the page. Make sure you click on Windows 8, not 8.1. You can upgrade to 8.1 later in Windows Store. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

Mine came with windows 7 pro, so no problems about updating, as you know windows 7 is a current system supported by Microsoft, hope this help.
