You're not providing complete information. It's impossible for me to answer this question. What program exactly is telling you to "enable" Windows 8? Better yet, why on earth did you leave garbage like Windows 8 installed on this lovely laptop? ;) If you can give me some actual context, I might be able to help you more. Off the top of my head, it may be the deadline to update from 8 to 8.1 - but I don't use Windows 8 so I can't really confirm that. I need complete information.

Oh, you silly thing. There's a reason Windows 7 is the number 1 seller. Do a little bit of research on the issues with 8.

I have no idea. Windows eight was so frustrating that I have no knowledge of the hardware

the update is already released. the moment the windows update is turned on, you will get the update message to upgrade win 8.1

I have seen new systems back loaded with windows 7, but I'm not sure if your seller has the tech support to do it. Might try somewhere like Tiger Direct where they are willing to make software changes at the time of purchase. Some of the big box retail stores like Best Buy might also do this kind software change. I don't know the technical spec's for doing it yourself, or if that is even possible. Keep up the research. Good luck WEST

Window 8 then there is a free 3 hour upgrade to Win 8.1. It works way better and has better shortcuts to apps and system functions. Hope that helped.

I was not able to at first. I kept getting a message that I needed to sign in as an administrator. Then Windows 8 made some changes and then I was able to upgrade to 8.1. I don't know what their techs did but it did make it possible to upgrade.

I don't believe so... nothing documented anyway... run it in desktop mode and download Classic Shell.. it gives you a full working start button... Windows 8 feels like 7 after that..

You will have to buy a different Operating System now. Windows won't give you the necessary updates for your computer and you won't be able to run any software. Support for XP ended in April 2014

Which platform? I have the most recent WIndows version which I could post somewhere.

It should enable both systems or individual I cannot find the instructions to verify

I've been using it since February without any complaints, but it would be even better if it would be possible to use linux instead of Windows 8.1. Unfortunatly Asus does not provide any support to linux.

I don't know for sure. I looked into the change but decided it wasn't worth the trouble. It's been a year and I still think Windows 8 is the worst product they ever made. I would just look for a computer with Windows 7.

there is no option to have no message printed and just print the date. It goes up to 2016

Why would you do this? I have a PC and a laptop with Windows XP. It has been a great OS, but as you know Microsoft discontinued all tech support for windows XP owners on April 2014. That poses a problem for us in not having a system to the latest updates. What is also very negative you keep receiving messages from MS Windows Essentials: Your system is not safe ..blah blah. It is very bothersome. I guess they want you to jump to Windows 8. Not me! I think Windows 7 Professional is a great OS to work with.
