Yes. Also when you set up your account with Microsoft you can upgrade to 8.1 free

The fact you bought it used should not make a difference whether or not windows 8 is installed. Because it comes pre installed you won't have to pay for it. worst case scenario is you factory reset it to get access to it

Just bought one of these for a client in Africa. It did come with Windows 7 installed, Windows 8 installation was an option during initial setup. I just skipped the Win8 setup. With Win7 installed, it is a respectable laptop for the money.

It came with Windows 8. No Microsoft suite and a bunch of useless other junk typical of a HP.

yes and it comes with Windows 8 Cd's so you could upgrade. But a friend of mine told me Windows 8 isn't doing well right now, so don't use the cd yet. Until they fix their issues

No it does not come with an operating system. You have to install what ever operating system you currently have on your laptop and then install all of your drivers and software that you have.

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

Mine came with Windows 8 -- BUT -- Amazon has a friendly lady you can call LIVE before you buy (I did--I spent 30 minutes comparing two different ASUS computers). I never thought to specify that I wanted Windows 7. You should call Amazon when you are ready to buy.

This laptop comes with Windows 8, antivirus, Skype, Microsoft Office 2010 but has to be activated with product key which you will have to purchase.

Well, mine came with Windows 7 installed and a disk with Windows 8, if you want to "upgrade" which I did not because older software will not work.

This one does not come with an OS. There is a similar model number with the same hardware that does comes with Windows 7, however.

It has Windows 8 included. It's not the latest version of windows 8, but you can upgrade for free off Microsoft's website if you want to.

I have not tried to install other OS but since it is a touchscreen, Windows 8 works quite well.

Mine came with Windows 7 professional installed and with recovery disks for Windows 8 should you want to upgrade.

It comes with Windows 7 64-bit. I would never buy a computer with Windows 8!

No I haven't seen the need to do so. Windows 8 only gets me touch type stuff and I don't see the need in a non touch screen laptop.
