Can you get this with Windows 7 instead of 8?

Hello J. Deutsch, Thanks for your interest! The computer has Windows 8 pre-installed on it. We only sell used items, and we do not have a way to uninstall operating systems. You may be able to take the customer somewhere to have this done, but we are not 100% sure. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

I only know 1 person who has Win 8 but I will ask. I feel that if you need to run it as "Administrator" in Ultimate 7 you could do the same in 8. For the price it's worth a try.

I got mine with Windows 7 3 months ago. you can get either version. Just need to look at the specs

It does not come with the disc and I'm not sure if you can swap it out for windows 7 because it is a 64 bit system. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Mine has windows 7...don't get 8. Not much else..i already had all the software I use like Office and all that so you may need to buy whatever software u need.

Hi there...I think its hard to go windows7...of course we can do it but...I suggest to stick to the windows 8 better. but before you install...try to download factory recovery DVD first in case.... If it is external..of course you can...anyway...good luck with your customization of your system.

You will have Win 7 at initial launch. The unit comes with Win 8 discs to add if you want. I can't speak to the Win 8 option because I'm not using it.

I am almost positive that you can. I have not fully downloaded to Windows 8.1.

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

No, but you can set up Windows 8 to emulate Windows 7. Check out Computershpper.com for some tips.

Mine came loaded with Windows 7, but it has an official Windows 8 sticker on the bottom. Win 8 may be included somehow, but I'm just not interested enough to find out where.

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

Doubtful... it didn't work with Windows 7 without major changes to the system configuration...

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.

I don't see why not. I have Windows 7 and it works fine. 7 and 8 are close enough.

I doubt it - if it does not work on Windows 7 highly unlikely to work on 8.
