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.

Of course! All windows 8 computers are eligible for the free 8.1 upgrade... I have 8.1 on my ME400c now

It comes with 8.1. In any case the only difference between 8 and 8.1 is a couple of hours updating the system.

8.1. But I have to say that if I had it to do over again, I would not purchase this computer.

I understand what you are asking, and the answer is laptop. It runs Windows 8.1, just without the keyboard and mouse.

mine did not and believe that you have to go to a different model. BTW, had to send mine in for service and was pleased with the repair and quick turnaround time. Win 8.1 not so sure of.

I did not get the Windows 8.1 as several people I talked to said they had some difficulty with it. All of the PC's at my company have Windows 7 installed and my unit does as well. All operate without difficulty and easy to operate.

Mine came with windows 8. I removed it and installed 7. Made the mistake of reinstalling 8.1 and still hate it.

Windows 8.1; even if it was Windows 8, you get free upgrades to the latest Windows 8.x

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are latest versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system. Windows 8.1 looks similar to that of Windows 8, but consists of more advanced and updated features.

This model comes with 8.0,,however you can download 8.1 for free (the program is available on this laptop). Windows 8.1 is an addition to windows 8 not a replacement.
