Yes. Aspire came with 8.0. But then it also was manually updated to 8.1. But this was almost a year ago. So not sure if they still offer.

Yes, it can. And I would do it right away, as I believe that 8.1 solves some problems.....

I upgraded to win 8.1 by going to the Microsoft web site and downloading the 8.1 software which was a free download to 8.0 users

It is not true. I just successfully upgraded to windows 8.1 To upgrade you must first go to windows update and check for update. Download update. Install all update. Then you can upgrade to 8.1. Without taking these steps you won't be able to upgrade.

Actually you need to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 before you can install the pro version (the upgrade to 8.1 from 8 is free). The pro pack box just has an authorization code in it to download and activate the pro features. You actually have to initiate the pro upgrade from the Windows 8.1 control panel and then enter the code so with a previous version of Windows (or none at all) there is no way to initiate the install.

Yes. I successfully upgraded the laptop to Windows 8.1 as soon as I got it. You need to go to the Windows Store and it will upgrade the OS to 8.1 free of charge.

To upgrade the memory it would be an additional $165.00 There is no extra charge for the Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 upgrade is free. You will be asked to upgrade once you get your laptop up and running. You CAN upgrade to Win 8.1 Pro if you want...that will cost you on the upgrade fee through Microsoft thou.

I was able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free through a download offered to me in the same manner as a regular update. The system information just says I have Windows 8.1 and gives no version. Since I have 8.1, I can't go back to determine which version of Windows 8 came installed on the computer. I don't know about Windows Professional.

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

of course not, there is no cd to install windows 8.1, it is saying that is compatible with windows 8.1.

No, this model comes with Windows 8.1, 64-bit. You can upgrade rather easily using the link in the System control panel. However, it may be less expensive for you to just buy a PC with 8.1 Pro pre-installed. Good luck!
