Which operating system does this have Win 7 or 8?

Sorry. I cannot be of much help here, as AMAZON's data column listing says WINDOWS 8-The DELL specs further down the page say 7. Wish it was a WINDOWS 7 CPU or that AMAZON would clear up the ambiguity here. I'd get it if it was WINDOWS 7, for sure.

This laptop runs Windows 7. I just unpacked mine and booted it up. If you are trying to avoid dealing with Windows 8 feel confident purchasing this Dell.

Mine came with Windows 7 but I'm not sure what they're putting on it now. I would think you could still find it with the older OS.

It comes with Windows 8. If you want 7, you have to put in a request on Dell's site.

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

Is it compatible with only windows eight desktop computer? I don't understand running windows 7 and 8 on the same computer.

On the new computers the OS is Windows 8. Other soft ware depends on the machine itself.

Yes. I don't think the software specifically states win8 but it works just fine on my laptop.

This OS can better take advantage of modern hardware than Windows 7. That is about the only advantage to using Win8 vs Win7.

No but you can buy the older models with windows 7. But, why would you not want windows 8?

Windows 7 64 bit. Bought it specifically to avoid getting Windows 8, an inferior OS for a desktop.

No it is a free upgrade. Windows 7 is still preferred in most corporate environments and Win 8 offers few benefits if you don't have a touch screen so they are giving you the option to upgrade in the future. It is a no strings attached deal.

I have no idea. I got this one because it had Windows 7 and I did not want 8!

I have win 7. But with the software it should support Win 8. The box says Vista and Win 7.

I don't know about Windows 8, I don't use windows 8, but I do run Windows 7 without any problems at all.

I am not currently using Windows 8. For the applications and software that I am using it is quite good the most recent version of the Windows operating system which I use this device is Windows 7. The oldest operating system in which I use with this device is Windows XP
