Where do you find the registration number for the copy of windows 7 that comes loaded on it? I can't find it anywhere.

On the top of the computer there is a Certificate of Authenticity Label/sticker for Windows Home Premium OEM Software that has a Product Key and I assume the registration number as well. The on/off switch for the computer is on the top of the computer and the label is approximately 2 inches above it on my computer.

you don't need the product key, you need to activate you windows by using online activation system or call your local Microsoft call center and they will activate it for you for free, my advice is to remove windows 8 and install windows 7 much faster at this laptop, that what I did but you need someone how is really good at formatting computers... I hope that helpful

Sorry, I have no idea. As I said in my review, I had a professional install my Windows 7.

Microsoft sent a message that it doesn't recognize it as a legal copy. I've run into this on another computer that my stepson owned a few years ago. Eventually it just locked up and wouldn't work, cost several hundred dollars to get a legal Microsoft window program loaded into it.

The one i received did not come with a disk but did have windows installed, however it was not a licensed copy, it was what appeared to be a stolen copy or a copy that had been used too many times.

Windows 7 but mine broke right after one month, and it costed me about new hard drive and 90 dollars to install windows back because windows 7 sticker on the bottom was not readable... I sent email but the seller never replied. .

It is already being shipped with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preloaded. Nothing else needs to be done on your end.

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

I know with older Windows products it will eventually stop running and you will HAVE to register Windows. I had the displeasure of finding that out myself. Without registering your OS your system will eventually become useless. This COULD very well mean you have an illegal copy. Worst case scenario. There's an FAQ here if it helps any: http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=E_yFDd6LS5OIf Microsoft can't help you, you should contact the distributor. If they can't help, then they deserve a really REALLY bad review.

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

Mine did not either, but if you're fairly knowledgeable about computers it's pretty self explanatory! Also, I feel that I should put this caution out there for you & others who may be interested in this PC even though I've been pretty happy with it up to this point: a couple times I've noticed a message in the lower right-hand corner that states this is NOT an authentic copy of Windows 7 running on the computer?!? Not sure why this message would pop-up occasionally as it does if it's not the case, but since I get free software from school I'm going to try and re-install Windows 7 from them so for me it's not a big deal, though others may want to be careful and ask about this the seller...

I ordered mine with Windows 7, but they shipped with Windows 8 and had to send me a copy of Windows 7.

sorry, I guess you need to contact the seller and/or review the description of the items to see if the windows version was stated as genuine. When I purchased mine, the seller described the item as containing a genuine Windows operating system. Wish you luck!

At the time I bought it, I only really cared about it being Windows 7, so I'm not sure. Sorry.

Mine came loaded with Windows 7. May not be an accurate picture. Mine has no sticker on the front.

Well I really don't know for sure. I got Windows 7 because of all the trouble with Windows 8. The IT guy that works at my employment said this was a good computer and that there were not many Windows 7 left out there. I really like it. I can tell you what the sticker says on the computer if that will help. It states it is Intel Core i5 3230M 2.6 ghz with turbo boost up to 3.2 ghz..Sorry I could not help anymore than this, but I do like it a lot. I did see under system properties that is a Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
