Does Windows 7 installation disc ship with the laptop?

No, but you get recovery media for Windows 8.1 Pro. You could always create your own recovery disks and also use a backup service. This is a fantastic laptop that comes with a good price. I bought mine last month with 16 gigs of ram and I just love it. There's no bloatware installed, the hardware works like it is supposed to at blazing speeds, and it's a nice looking laptop.

it came with windows 8 pre-installed, but no physical disc. their is, however, a backup partition on the hard disc that can restore the system to factory defaults. I believe you can also burn a copy of the windows 8 backup DVD from the system recovery settings.

Unfortunately No it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Windows comes pre-installed, you can always wipe it up and auto-install the windows natively without a dvd . I'm genuinely happy with the laptop using it for about an year now, works great, feather lite.

Windows 7 is already activated on the U30JC. BTW, the recovery DVD creation process took over 2.5 hours.

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

No, you only will receive a DVD that restores the hard drive to the factory image. OS cds are no longer available from the OEMs.

You can install Windows (or Linux) using a USB thumb drive. Search the Microsoft web for Windows USB/DVD Download Tool and you will find the correct tool and instructions on its use. Here is the URL: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

Mine came loaded with Windows 7, but it has an official Windows 8 sticker on the bottom. Win 8 may be included somehow, but I'm just not interested enough to find out where.

When I received mine, it was Windows 7 Pro with Windows 8 Pro discs (for upgrade).

Likely not. Your Windows 8 installation is likely on DVD. Most Microsoft install disks are on DVD due to their size. Now, if you want to switch over to linux, there are many distros that will install to your hard drive from a CD. Everyone should experience building a desktop. Way to go!

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 depends on which seller you buy it from. Mine did. Look at the items the seller lists that the PC comes with. A good seller will include a recovery disc with any PC.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed, and 2 "restore" CDs for Windows 8, or at least that's what they are labeled. Honestly, I like Windows 7 so well that I'm not worried about pursuing Windows 8, especially since this model doesn't have a touchscreen.
