Yes. I successfully upgraded the laptop to Windows 8.1 as soon as I got it. You need to go to the Windows Store and it will upgrade the OS to 8.1 free of charge.

I don't know. I do not have Windows 8. I hope it is as I'm sure I will have to move up to Win8 sometime.

Yes. Even though it shows Windows 8, it has been shipped for several months with Win8.1 installed.

Yes. But even if it has windows 8, the device should prompt you upgrade to 8.1 for free during update. Mine has windows 8.1

I was able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free through a download offered to me in the same manner as a regular update. The system information just says I have Windows 8.1 and gives no version. Since I have 8.1, I can't go back to determine which version of Windows 8 came installed on the computer. I don't know about Windows Professional.

No. It comes with Windows 8.0 installed. You can download the upgrade to 8.1 from the Windows store.

I'm sure it is possible. I just put windows 8.1 on mine a few days ago. Keep in mind you will need to buy windows 7.

I did it. It is free. If you don't get an upgrade offer came up when 1st initiating and Registering Windows after you start the machine the 1st time, you can Google "Windows 8.1 Upgrade" and select the download from the MS website. You can also check the list of updates in the Windows Update app in Control Panel. It takes a while to download and install.

When I bought it several months ago Windows 8.1 was not available. I'm fairly sure 8.1 is there now if you purchase this machine.

No, windows 8.1 is made so that all of your files will transfer over into your new os(win 8). Everything you have will be there when you're done

Yes - if you purchased it with Window 8 - the upgrade to 8.1 is free. You'll see it in your Updates when it's available to upgrade.
