Lenovo Yoga 13 comes with Windows 8 (standard?).It is NOT Windows 8 RT nor does it come with Windows 8 Pro. You could probably update from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro if you chose. I doubt it is compatible with Windows 8 RT.

That is a good question. I do not believe it is because it is not an app. There is a big difference between Windows RT and Windows 8. It is software that installs drivers. I'm not sure if RT will recognize this or how you would install it given there is no desktop.

Yes the installation works in windows 8 but not in windows RT because it is a third party program. The program will show up as a tile on the scrolling start-up screen in windows 8 but you can add it to you desktop by right clicking and choosing open file location. You can copy the file icon and paste as a shortcut to your desktop.

Windows RT is not windows 8.1.So, You have to go to the Windows store and install Blockworld. The free version is all you need. The developer of Minecraft continues to snub the RT platform, so Blockworld is a competing version. A lot of people like it. Furthermore, The Surface has "lite" versions of popular X-Box games, like Halo, Need for Speed, etc. They are quite good.

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

No, Win 8.1 pro, both 32 and 64 bit, comes in a full upgrade version and will upgrade a previous version of Windows. If you just upgrading to pro, then you need 8.1 installed before you can upgrade the license to pro. See the other answers to upgrade a win 8 to 8.1 (non Pro) for free, but you will still need to get a new pro upgrade license to make it a full 8.1 Pro.

I have Windows 7, but on their website they have BibleWorks 9 running on Windows 8, on both tablets and personal computers. Here is the link : (http://www.bibleworks.com/content/sys-req.html). Notice the first bullet point under system requirements says "Windows XP/Vista/7/8." I know it will not run on Windows RT, but it will certainly run on Windows 8. Now, I am specifically talking about BibleWorks 9, the newest version. I would email their support team if you plan on buying an older version of BibleWorks. I hope this helps! BibleWorks is a life changing product as far as Bible study is concerned, you will not regret the purchase!

It was very easy to upgrade to 8.1, just went to Microsoft, searched for "8.1" and scrolled down to the "RT" VERSION. The process is takes about an 90 min, it is very hands off. The system will initially behave as a fresh install, but once your original account and password is entered it will behave as you had set up.

honestly 8.1 RT is pretty lame... and NO you cant... this is off of the windows website about the major differences in rt: Some features aren't included in Windows RT 8.1: Windows Media Player Windows Media Center HomeGroup creation (you can join an existing HomeGroup but you can't create a new one) The ability to connect to your Windows RT 8.1 PC from another PC using Remote Desktop Domain Join.

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.

I have Windows 7. Can't tell you about 8. You do need to have the disk in the computer to run it.

Not enough info about Windows 8, atm. But at first glance, I want this because I want to be able to access normal Windows 7 programs. For Windows 8, it appears that the tablet form (ARM) needs a special version of the app and these won't be necessarily the same as their x86/x64 counterparts.So, yeah...I think I'll save up for the Samsung. It has pretty much everything I need.

The one I have has Windows 7. I had the option of 8; however, the software I was running was not stable on 8. This was the summer of '13 and from my understanding 8 had a patch released fall of '13 that was to take care of the issues. Software was AutoCadd.
