Is this computer's operating system ready to run out of the box? Does it also have "Word" or a newer equivalent?

It does not have "Word", can't even type an envelope. The system is ready to go out of the box. P.C. Hopper

The OS is ready out of the box but it only has a trial of Office. I purchased Office 365 for $99 it works on 5 devices and includes everything. Great pc so far!

No it is not, word tablet is all you get. Have to purchase Office separately.

It's got Windows 8. So, do you mean DOWNgraded? Or are you being facetious?

The computer actually has Windows 8.1. Much more desktop-friendly than 8, especially when you download the recent update. I work with it almost indistinguishably from the XP experience, only much much faster. And I was able to load the Word 2002 disc I had gotten with my previous computer. All my old word documents are now transferred (through a flash drive) and accessible. And I can create new ones and save them as well. Technically 8.1 does not support Word 2002 but aside from a message to that effect every now and then when I'm saving a doc, everything works seamlessly.

yes, yes, and yes, Not a bad machine at all. I suggest you get the Win 7-64 however and 8 GB RAM. Win 8 is too clunky. Must have been the Win 95 dev team who made that.

You will need to install an OS and drivers, but you are able to run right out of the box.

Nope! The machine has been flawless from day one. I've had the computer for about 9 plus months.

Absolutely! I've been running it on a Win 8.1 computer for 6 months and haven't had any problems. This is still one of the best basic word processors I've ever used.

Depends on what has been loaded on the computer. Mine had ms office so in my case, yes.

Geeze - It was $84. It had Word and Excel on it but it was 10 years old. I'd only use it for a backup or dedicate it for e-mail. The keyboard is not for typing long papers.

Not sure about the RAM, I'd have to check. Should be able to upgrade the OS though. It comes with Win8.1, and win 10 tech preview looks to be built from the same inner workings.

Yes, it came equipped with a limited version of Word, but that was more than adequate for me. It is a great computer, I really enjoy it.

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

I love my Hp envy 11-g . I downloaded Libre Office, a free Open Source Office suite, as powerful as Microsoft Office. It can read and write Microsoft Word documents.

The Eee PC does not have MS Word right out of the box. You must go install it. It does have MS Works, which has a word processor, but its not as powerful as Word.
