Does this have win 8.0 pro or home version

When I check the system applet, windows 8.1 is displayed as the operating system, rather than windows 8.1 pro. So it's either home or "standard", assuming there is such a thing.

It's not RT. I have many desktop programs installed on it, including MIRC, Paint.net, and the desktop version of Evernote. I am not sure if it comes Windows Pro or a home version. I have the Windows 8.1 Preview installed right now. The 8.1 Preview also will not run on the RT version.

This one has Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit only, no Windows 8 disks. If you are looking for Windows 7/Windows 8 setup, see model 20B20011US. It has Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preloaded and it comes with Windows 8 Pro recovery disks.

Pro Surface has Pro Windows, the name says it all, and don't hesitate to upgrade to 8.1 Pro it is a nice improvement.

Ummm, I'm not sure what you are asking. The version is Pro 2013. I run it on a Windows 8 PC.

It is preintalled with windows 7 pro. You will have a win 8 license but would have to install/upgrade yourself

Assuming you have FULL versions of W7 and W8.1, each 64 bit, then your choice is which version do you want. Either, in your case, will require the same work on your part. The pro version of W7 is somewhat equivalent to the pro version of W8.1 so you could go either way. The home premium version has lesser functionality so I would go with W8.1. (Too bad your hard drive failed and you downgraded to 32 bit.)

Mine has win 8.1 on it. You can tell when you turn it on and if it has the windows logo in the left corner it's windows 8.1. Even if it comes with win 8.0 it is just an update from the windows store after you install a certain update to allow it from the store. The. There is the windows 8.1 update. It adds a lot of fixes to 8.1

This particular model - 367927U - ships with Pro. There are other models that ship with the base version of Windows 8.

The machine I purchased had Windows 7 Pro, but the newer copies have Windows 8 Pro. Check with the manufacturer before you buy.

You can't downgrade through Window itself. If you have a valid license you can install it. I upgraded mine to Win 8.1 Pro. It, like all Windows flavors is much better than the home versions. Win 8 does take some getting used and I dislike the home version. Unless you specificly need Win 7 I'd recommend upgrading to Win 8.1 Pro.

Mine came with "Home Premium". If you go to microsoft they are offering an upgrade to 8 for about $40

Actually I don't think it's either RT or Pro. I believe it's a special version made for this 8" tablet. The box refers to it as Windows 8 32bit. The software envelope calls it Win 8 SST with Office H&S.; windows 8 small screen touch with office home and student

I do not know who listed the spec's that it runs Windows 7 Pro. But I know I have the same model it runs with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
