can windows be added

The unit advertised here has Windows XP. I would not purchase a PC with XP at any price. Can this XP machine be upgraded to Windows 7...I don't know. What I can do is give another review of my W7 machine. When I purchased this unit in 2010, it came with Windows 7 Starter. I did two upgrades...to Windows 7 Home Premium & increased RAM from 1Gb to 2Gb, the max the motherboard will allow. It has a 250Gb HD which at the time was larger than the combined HD capacity of my two very old Dell desktops on XP. I installed Office 2003 at the time & last year added Office 365 since I was permitted up to 5 installs. Now 4 years down the road I can say that this is a fine piece of equipment, very reliable. But it's beginning to show it's age...it's getting slow in the processing & boot-up seems to take forever. I will be replacing it with a Surface Pro 3 but due to finances, it'll have to wait til next year. When it is replaced, this unit will not go to waste, it will be given to a teenager in foster care and carry on.

Yes, as long as you have the initial gate you can add extensions to it. We added two panel extensions when we bought ours.

Well, I have never done it before but I am sure it is possible. Windows 8 is not that bad though, even better now with 8.1.. Might as well just stick with it till you get accustomed to the layout.

I am not very familiar with the mentioned tools. If those support windows 8, there is no reason it cannot be installed. Check the respective website to see if those versions of the tools support windows 8. Any tools which has support for windows 8 can be installed on this computer.

Yes. If it doesn't, you can always use the Windows Backwards Compatibility feature.

You can..bit you will be better of if you install windows and your most common used applications either on an internal SSD (best option) or an external flash drive. The system will be faster this way, and you can use your external 2TB for storing everything else.

You can install Windows 7, but you will need a Windows 7 Activation key and drivers for the laptop. That last part gets a little more complicated.

Yes, but the ones I purchased did not have the rear windows included. I can't imagine why, it would look silly and who would do that? Good luck.

Of course. It comes with Windows 8 so any windows software may be installed.

You can add RAM as well as a SSD (given you have the proper drivers. However I would not reccomend downgrading to windows 7, as the computer was designed to run on windows 7 and the hardware/drivers may have compatibility issues with windows 7.

Yes, you can. If you want to have a look and feel of Windows 7 (no touch screen), there is a free shell you can download that gives you this option.
