can win 8.1 be put on it

I assume that you have the Ubuntu version of the Netbook, yes... you can load windows 8.1 on this BUT you would be better off if you could simple by the system with 8.1 pre-loaded on it. Buying the MS 8.1 package on top of the low cost system would be financially a bad move. Good luck!

What are your goals, are you a newbie? That is have an interest, but haven't done this before correct? OK, you can install Windows 8.1 on the ASUS or any other O/S. Do you want a dual boot (Ubuntu-12.04 and win 8.1) you can do that too. You will need a CDs for both O/S and the Ubuntu Book.Read learn, help is available from Ubuntu.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

The same physical computer can be purchased with Windows 8 pre-installed. It's model DS01, instead of DS02 or DS03. So the answer is obviously yes, but I do not know if it is easy to install 8 from scratch. As for 8.1, it's my uderstanding that you would upgrade from 8.

8.1 is just the upgrade of Windows 8 so should it should work. Just make sure if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit OS when you download the driver

On the box that it is "Windows 8" ready -- you might need to down the latest software from www.buffalotech.com or you may not. Does not mention 8.1 but may work.

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

I have not tried it on 8.1 but it did work on Win 8 so it seems likely that it would. John

I do have Windows 8 installed (not 8.1) and works fine. I believe it will have no problem working on 8.1 either.

Yes. Even though it shows Windows 8, it has been shipped for several months with Win8.1 installed.

I think it can be installed on 8.1, but since it is outdated, there are not any more updates. This site may help: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/officeversion_other-word/word-2000-crash-with-windows-81/6ea471c5-b3f7-48a9-ae7d-1bf0aac18ec3

Yes, then you can update it to Windows 8.1 It is a little complicated to use but I love it!

of course not, there is no cd to install windows 8.1, it is saying that is compatible with windows 8.1.

Not available with Win 8.1, but you can upgrade to Win 8.1 for free using the Store App available on your DX4380-UR22 (you are actually better off without Win 8.1, but that's an answer for a different question).

I don't know about the 8.1. I used it on a ideapad Lenovo laptop with Win 8.

I have used it with a Win8 machine. Not sure if 8.1 would work. In fact, I had more issues w/ making it compatible w/ a Win7 machine than the Win8 one. Hope that helps.

Yes for Windows 8.1 64 bit. Windows will install driver and then it will be updated with Windows Update.
