I have a laptop with Windows 8 factory installed. Can this product be used to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro ?

Hi JD, Yes! This product (purchased through our company) will upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro. We can't speak for other sellers. Thanks!

I am using it on Windows 8 Pro. I have been using it with no problems for a week now. You could always run it in compatability mode if you need too.

No. It has Windows 7 Pro. You would own the license to Windows 8 Pro and could install that as well, but comes loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

The short answer is yes. You could upgrade to windows 8 Pro, and then use windows to downgrade, or you can reformat your hard drive and install from disk. The real question is why would you do it? The downgrade option is more for businesses that are not able to upgrade at the same time. Remember when windows 7 came out and people wanted to rush back to Vista, and Vista to XP, and XP to 95. I don't think that anyone tried to get back to 3.1.

Lenovo has loaded Windows 8 Pro and downgraded to Windows 7 Pro, you will be able to upgrade back to Windows 8 Pro when needed.

I had MOU 7 installed in my windows 7 pro before going to windows 8. Side note the program will not work with windows 8.

Sorry - I don't have Windows 8 on my machine at home or at work, so I'm not able to answer your question.

the answer for me was yes and no. Yes, it worked well enough so that the repair system from my backup cds was able to reinstall everything after the cloning procedure left me with enough errors that I was unable to start Windows 8 normally. My experience was with a refurbed HP Elite laptop that came with windows 8 preinstalled. My hope for you is that you took the time to prepare a complete backup with a boot sector. Good luck.

Windows 7 comes pre-installed and mine came with an upgrade disk for Windows 8, should I ever decide to upgrade.

Yes you should be able to upgrade it - but our business apps require us to have Windows 7 pro. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Win8+. I'd suggest doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install to keep your drivers, but suggest you go to Samsung's website if any drivers don't carry over.

For this product, the Pro upgrade, the description says "Windows 8.1 Pro pack will not work if your current OS is older than Windows 8.1. You must be running Windows 8.1 "Core" to use the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack upgrade."

I don't really know as stated in the review I do not use this computer myself. But I can not see why you couldn't?. Am not sure about windows 8, just try and see what happens.
