I havent seen a revo that comes without an operating system. But you can always put whatever you want on it just like a regular pc. or you can look at barebone htpc's

It's not an option with this version. You have to wipe the hard drive and install Windows 7 from scratch. So try and save your data off another drive or usb device.

If you purchase as is it comes with Windows 8 (ugh!), but if you go to Acer they may be able to do something to sell it with Windows 7. I did not ask. You may have to purchase windows 7, uninstall windows 8 and install windows 7.

I don't believe so. I got this with windows 8, and best buy stated that microsoft is trying to phase out windows 7, but im sure if you know someone whos good with computers, theres a way to remove windows 8 and get windows 7. but buying off the rack i do not believe so.

Good question! I did not do that type of installation. I know there is a disc that came with it, but I did not need to use it for windows installation. I would try and ask the vendor selling this item if they can answer it for you.

I have no idea. I got this one because it had Windows 7 and I did not want 8!

I dont believe so. Its fully contained with its own systems. If you want Windows a laptop is probably a better choice for you. Thanks.

Yes it can. In fact it came without any operating systems so I had to download everything myself.

Microsoft has an "upgrade" that is free - Windows 8.1. It makes the W8 a bit more like W7, but not entirely. W8/8.1 takes some getting used to but it isn't too bad. If you get a touch screen laptop (this one is not touch screen) it might be a bit easier to get accustom to.

Yes, but why would you want to? I'd stick w/Windows 7 and wait for 10 (or whatever they are calling it) to come out.

You can if u r me and have have all the necessary items to do so but no, not legally unless u want to pay $80 for Windows 7 License. But good news Windows 8 is good u just got to get used to it

Uninstall current operating system from your hard drive. Then get official windows 7 and install it.

Yes! You can install windows with the aid of other softwares such as Parallels in which case you can switch between Mac apps and windows programmes without rebooting your Mac. Your Mac also comes with boot camp assistant which also enables you to install windows with the exception that you have to reboot you Mac each time you want to switch to windows. Hope this helps!

The Window 7 starter operating system is already bundled on the hard-drive. No further purchase is needed, but note that the OS is limited in a number of options but just fine for the averge user.

No, best to invest in one. Even if Windows comes preloaded on your tower, it won't even come close to deal with all the spy/malware and viruses out there.
