I believe I am eligible for the upgrade as it is past its release date...however, I have not updated mine.

Mine was windows 8. Upgrade to 8.1 was free and easy. Most articles I've read say the upgrade to Windows 10 (looks like Microsoft is skipping 9.0) will be free as well.

Of course! All windows 8 computers are eligible for the free 8.1 upgrade... I have 8.1 on my ME400c now

I think you can do that. But the Windows 8.1 require a flash drive with 24 GB memory.

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

No, only Acer can update the operating system. Acer is one of the biggest computer manufacturers & hopefully they'll keep up w the latest (Lollipop) op system

Yes i just used this within the last month on an 8.1 operating system. Follow the instructions carefully!

Negative. These are 2 completely different systems. You can't upgrade from 7 to 8 for free. If it had Windows 8 installed, then you could easily upgrade to 8.1.

Yes, if you have a spare slot. Be sure to use the driver disk that comes with it, not windows update.

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.

No it will not be upgraded to Windows OS8. Do not buy it now many app will not work.

Yes. Also when you set up your account with Microsoft you can upgrade to 8.1 free

Yes you can use Windows 8.1, and you can also use the new Windows 10 when it is released. You do have to take into account your memory specs and processor specs as well. I would suggest having over 2GB of memory and a fairly decent processor for best experience.

You must upgrade online. Not a big deal but requires Microsoft operating system.

Not if you intend to use Windows 8. If you intend to use 8 or 8.1, this machine is now pre-loaded with 8. Upgrade to 8.1 is free and only takes a couple hours on a normal internet connection. If you intend to use Windows 7 however, you will have to purchase it separately and do a trick or two to install properly.
