Could I get it with Windows 7?

get the a03us version, that's the one with windows 7. Otherwise, you can do clean install and get all the drivers/software from samsung update software.

I think you would have to install it on your own. Even then, I think it is pretty complicated to get any computer that comes with Windows 8 to run on Windows 7. I looked into it for a while but ended up giving up and just going with a Windows 8 computer. I bought this computer about 6 months ago but ended up returning it within a week because the wifi didn't work at all.

Yes, you can do it and it will work. All drivers and software are available in the Samsung Support Web page. But you have to buy a Windows 7 license and you have to start from the very beginning, that is, creating a new partition and formatting it. I call Samsung Customer Care and they told me this should work but they will not support it. Considering time and money required to make it happen, I quit, hoping that Windows 8 would, eventually, improve. But again, it should work fine. Series 9 Ultrabooks are among the very very best. Good Luck

Yes, but why would you want to? I'd stick w/Windows 7 and wait for 10 (or whatever they are calling it) to come out.

We now have an older PC from you. It came with W7 on it, and it works wonderfully. We are very pleased with it.

All your answers can be found in the specs on this model I believe. I wanted the Windows 7 because of the ease in using this platform. However, if you look deeper into different venders offering this product you might find one with the Windows 8. As for an upgrade to that I believe you could. Contact microsoft for that answer.

I'm sure it is possible. I just put windows 8.1 on mine a few days ago. Keep in mind you will need to buy windows 7.

Yes, you can. Simply put, yes. I used to have an XP. It does work on it. 7 is old, It will even work on windows 2000. Which I also, had where it worked. So yes, go right ahead and upgrade to 7.

Yes, Windows 7 has the driver for it built into Windows. Meaning you will not need to down load a driver and install it. This is completely plug-n-play.

Likely if you put Windows 8 on it. However, it does come with Windows 7, or Vista even. Installing Windows 8 on it is no problem, and provides a speed benefit.

You generally will not get a windows cd with most new systems. The os should be fully functional out of the box. The office program is a trial and you will need to purchase a key or you can download a free word processing program such as open office or similar

You will have Win 7 at initial launch. The unit comes with Win 8 discs to add if you want. I can't speak to the Win 8 option because I'm not using it.

At the time I bought it, I only really cared about it being Windows 7, so I'm not sure. Sorry.

It came with Win 7 installed, which is what I wanted. An IT friend suggested it. Doesn't think Windows 8 and the touchy-feely screen is quite ready for prime time.

Yes. The game can be installed and played on Windows 7. However, it may crash often. So save regularly if you want to put up with that.

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.

There is a 32-bit version of Windows 7 available for purchase. However, please check for PC hardware compatibility in microsoft's website prior to purchasing it.
