My ASUS Eee PC is 6 years old and is still hanging in there. I only use it for writing books. I haven't done anything to it other than put in a new battery (pain in the backside) so it is running the original VISTA operating system and Windows Office '07. ASUS doesn't make these computers anymore - nor do they have batteries for them. I had to order a battery from Taiwan and install myself using a video I found on YouTube. Since its memory is so small, I wouldn't think Windows 8 would fit on it. My recommendation, leave it well enough alone as ASUS won't be able to help if you ruin it. I love this little computer and will cry when it no longer works. There is nothing else its size on the market today. My ASUS Eee PC is 6 years old and is still hanging in there.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works great. Windows found the drivers and installed them without the need for intervention.

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.

It comes with Windows 8.1 Pro if you get the 512GB version. I run Photoshop on it with no problems.

Yes it will work with windows 8.1 the drivers are included but you might just want to go to the asus website to make sure they are up to date.

I did it. It is free. If you don't get an upgrade offer came up when 1st initiating and Registering Windows after you start the machine the 1st time, you can Google "Windows 8.1 Upgrade" and select the download from the MS website. You can also check the list of updates in the Windows Update app in Control Panel. It takes a while to download and install.

It should come pre installed. The Windows 8 code is on the side of the comp.

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.

It is shipped with 8, but after applying all Windows 8 updates you can download and install the 8.1 update.

It should be compatible USB is generic and it is USB 2.0 so windows 8.1 will be compatible because USB drivers will be generic hope i helped

Yes you can install 8.1 --- however, my computer crashed with a hardware problem and is now in the HP repair shop. I wish I never purchased this computer.

I assume that you have the Ubuntu version of the Netbook, yes... you can load windows 8.1 on this BUT you would be better off if you could simple by the system with 8.1 pre-loaded on it. Buying the MS 8.1 package on top of the low cost system would be financially a bad move. Good luck!

No, unfortunately it only comes with horrible Windows 8 pre-installed. You will need to get a copy of Office or subscribe to the cloud version.

Yes, most units come preloaded with Windows 8.1 or just go into settings, update and recovery then windows update and install all available updates which will include Windows 8.1

8.1 is just the upgrade of Windows 8 so should it should work. Just make sure if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit OS when you download the driver

Yes, I have Windows 8.1 and just installed it. Works great and easy to install.
