8.1. I don't think you can get windows 8 anymore, if you are looking for IE10 compatibility. I have tried, and ended up buying a Windows 7.

Mine came with 8.1 pre-installed. There was minimal updating required. I believe this is because 8.1 has been out for a while now (long enough for HP to update its pre-installed software).

Hello Janet, my computer came with Windows 8 installed, but automatically updateted to 8.1. Windows is original so you can update to the last versión of Windows ay no cost.

Mine came with 8.0 and when it cane back with factory restore, it came with 8.0. After updating, I then upgraded to 8.1 for free via Microsoft site. 8.1 is a free upgrade. Hope that helps

Actually this comes with both! It's the only computer I found like that. Windows 7 is preloaded, and then there is a disc included if you prefer Windows 8. I actually like this model very much. It is very durable and easy to access internal parts with a service door. My only negative comment is that it is a tad slow for my personal liking. But I am biased because I am a multitasker. Most people would enjoy it just fine.

Comes with Windows 8 installed although it will also support Windows 7. In fact I made mine a dual boot system that does both Windows 7 and 8.

Mine came with Windows 8 -- BUT -- Amazon has a friendly lady you can call LIVE before you buy (I did--I spent 30 minutes comparing two different ASUS computers). I never thought to specify that I wanted Windows 7. You should call Amazon when you are ready to buy.

It ships with Windows 8 64-bit. As far as I know, there is no bug with the Windows 8.1 upgrade. You do have to install all of the Windows Update patches, however, before Windows 8.1 will appear in the Store. That's not a bug, but a precaution to insure 8.0 is ready for the upgrade to 8.1.

Mine comes with Windows 7. Further, I believe, it comes with Windows 7 but you can install Windows 8, if you like. Btw, it doesn't have a touchscreen.

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.

It comes with windows 7 preinstalled. If you want 8 you have to recover into 8.

Yes it does, it even comes with the option to get windows 8 but i think you need to order with Windows 8 already installed. If you need any more proof i'm currently typing this response and using windows 7. hope i was of some help

This model will come with Windows 8.1, all brand new MSI computers will. You would have to purchase Windows 7 to be put on this computer. We can do so for you, you can send us a message if interested in this and we can let you know final cost.

When I bought it (june 2013) it came with Windows 8. NOT the newest version Windows 8.1

I purchased one 4 weeks ago.It came with Windows 8.0 which was very difficult to work with.However, there is an easy upgrade (free) for windows 8.1 which is much better.Be prepared, you will have to purchaseOffice 2013 as the software will not accept key codes for anything but Office 2013.

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