It is not an upgrade, but recovery media to install Window 8 from clean system disk.

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

I use Hauppauge. Hauppauge come's with a disk that is compatible to windows 8.1.Pro. However Microsoft will still charge you 10.00 for windows media center via download. Windows Pro Pack is only an upgrade from Windows 8. So if you have Windows 8 and the one you have works then it will work for 8.1 Pro.

It comes with Windows 7 Pro installed as part of Microsoft's downgrade option, but actually comes with the license key for Windows 8 and an installation DVD for Windows 8 if you would like to upgrade it yourself.

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

No, there is no Windows 8 Pro version of the S7. You have to buy the Microsoft upgrade package. The upgrade package does not include the Media Center which was free until Jan 31st (sorry). Still I like the computer.

The item I ordered has been upgraded to Windows 7 Pro. It was a rebuild from an XP configuration.

Yes - if you purchased it with Window 8 - the upgrade to 8.1 is free. You'll see it in your Updates when it's available to upgrade.

No. It has Windows 7 Pro. You would own the license to Windows 8 Pro and could install that as well, but comes loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

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.

When I purchased this Zenbook in 9/2012, it was possible to upgrade to Windows 8 for FREE until Jan, 2013. I know it is possible to upgrade and I am assuming you can still do it on the Microsoft Windows website. Not sure about Windows 8 Pro.
