Is this a Windows 8 home or Pro OS that it ships with?

Not sure what it came with. I thought Windows 8 but I was able to upgrade to 8.1 PRO for free. I checked the little documentation that came with the unit and it does not state what OS it included when I purchased it.

win 8 not pro and does upgrade to 8.1 free. You have to do updates to win 8 before it can do the upgrade to 8.1

It is Windows 7 64-bit home edition. Not professional. Great computer. Upgrade hard drive to Crucial m4 256 gb as well.

The current (5/30/14) version on Amazon is advertised as being configured with Windows 7 Home Premium. It had better come with that I just ordered it and I really don't like W8. I bought a W8 laptop for my nieces birthday and set it up for her then she loaded 8.1 and a lot of system changed.

Mine came with windows 8 installed, however if you want another Operating system you may need to install it yourself.

It comes with Windows 8 pro. After the automatic updates are downloaded and installed it will get updated to Windows 8.1 pro

My system came installed with Windows 7 Pro and also came with Windows 8 Pro DVDs. So, it comes with both.

This system is pre-installed with Windows 7 pro, and also comes with a license and media for Windows 8 Pro software. If you're looking for Windows 7 pro, it's there already.

It comes with Windows 7 Pro installed as part of Microsoft's downgrade option, but actually comes with the license key for Windows 8 and an installation DVD for Windows 8 if you would like to upgrade it yourself.

You can get it with Windows 7 Home Premium, it is model 2311 (as opposed to this model with Windows 8, 2310). If you need the features of Windows 7 Pro, you can buy the "anytime upgrade" from Microsoft, although it's prohibitively expensive. Occasionally they sell on eBay for ~$40. If you live near a MicroCenter, they have the 2311 model for $350.

When I purchased this unit, Windows 8.1 is the OS. Takes a bit of getting use to but works OK.

It's a standard windows 8 pro install. No extra programs beyond what comes with windows. Office 365 trial is ready to install upon first boot.

This particular model comes with Windows 7 Pro installed and a free Windows 8 upgrade OS disc included, and as this model [originally] came out with Windows 8 installed as the standard OS it shows those specs. The installed Windows 7 Pro is more of an option to cater to those who want it.

No sure, although when I check PC info, it says Windows 8, So 'm assuming just the consumer version.

It shipped with Win 8.1 32 bit. I would have preferred the 64 bit Pro, since the Atom processor supports 4GB RAM with the 64. It did come with MS Office Student license (the pro doesn't). Not a big deal for me since I prefer OpenOffice (all open source when I can) and installed it along with MS Office. A side note: The 128GB model may come with Pro.
