No. Not worth the money! Mine crashed after 30 days and it was going to cost me more to ship it back and have it repaired than I paid for it! Save your money!

NO. I bought mine from BEST BUY. They charged me an additional one hundred dollars for a four piece Windows recovery set.

Mine did which was one of the reasons I bought it. However you can also download Windows XP to a computer.

Sorry, I can't answer that question because I returned it without opening the box. However, if I remember correctly, it came with everything that one would need to use it. Also, I need to figure out how to correct my review. I said this does not work with XP, and I meant to say Vista. The information on the box just skipped over Vista.

The Restore Partition is included on new computers for reinstalling to original factory settings or you can request the OS disk from Dell if you are the original owner. Here is more info--- http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19332656

Not on the one I bought. It came with Win 7 Pro and installation disk and not much else. If you have a lot of "freebies", I would delete them and you might want to run Spybot to see if there is any spyware. Spybot search and destroy is a free program and does a good job.

came with window 7 pro pre-installed, and with a windows 8 disk - I assume there's a downgrade license from window 8 to windows 7 - not sure otherwise

Mine has the XP Professional system on it. It works well. but it has a low graphics card that is easily replaced, if you plan on doing any higher end gaming.

Hey Rob,The Dell desktop does come with a restore disk. And that's a big 'Thank God'. Although I bought this pc as a birthday gift for my brother, I also have Windows xp. I am not, computer, savvy enough to advance to Windows 8. And now if something happens with my pc, I just can borrow the restore disk and be up and running again like nothing ever happened. Thanks, Rick

Mine did not come with a restore disk. A restore disk is used when you have to wipe your computer, either if you've received a virus, etc. and need to re-install the operating system.

Hello, Yes, they have a legal copy of XP on the unit. We install Windows 7 on these units, but if you request it, we can re-install it with Windows XP Pro

Yes. It was loaded and setup with Windows XP Professional before the hard drive was formatted.

I can honestly say that I know it does come with Windows 8, but it's been quite some time since I had it so I can't really remember if it was Pro or not. Sorry.

Mine does not have the XP pro installed, and I do not know if it can be installed. Mine has Windows 7.

it comes with W8, but no, no disk, and you have to make your own restore disk. Hope this helps.

Hello Brian, the answer is, there is no installation instruction,however, there is a user manual that comes with it, for "after" installation use. I upgraded from XP Pro and used the XP operation system disk to format the drive and then installed the win 7 professional disk. Hope i made sense to you...
