Hi Olddetailer, for re- installation of Windows 8, you can use the Vaio care software pre-installed in the computer. It will access the recovery partition of the hard drive to re-install the said OS. -Ely

None. You have to buy the OS separately and install it. I installed Windows 8 via a USB CD-ROM drive. There is an option to install it via USB flash drive as well - bing it to get instructions.

This one has Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit only, no Windows 8 disks. If you are looking for Windows 7/Windows 8 setup, see model 20B20011US. It has Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preloaded and it comes with Windows 8 Pro recovery disks.

Well, mine came with Windows 7 installed and a disk with Windows 8, if you want to "upgrade" which I did not because older software will not work.

Yes it comes with a Driver disc. You will find up to date drivers on this page http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1376 in a zip file. There is also instructions on how to install in Windows 8 on that page also. Just click on the floppy icon to the right side of the title Windows 8.

Hi, It comes with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, with downgrade rights to Windows 7 pro 64bit. Thanks, PCrush

It comes with Windows 7 Pro installed as part of Microsoft's downgrade option, but actually comes with the license key for Windows 8 and an installation DVD for Windows 8 if you would like to upgrade it yourself.

Contact ASUS support to find out your warranty options or if they can send you a recovery disc. It may cost extra. The other answer to find a windows 8 install disc may also work. And, You may also want to consider replacing the hard disk. Good luck!

Yes.. 100%. Just run the cd right off the bat. I've never used win 8 on mine.

Good question! I did not do that type of installation. I know there is a disc that came with it, but I did not need to use it for windows installation. I would try and ask the vendor selling this item if they can answer it for you.

The machine comes preloaded with Windows 7 Professional 64bit already. You're good to go. The supplied recovery media is for Windows 8, however. Re-installing Windows 7 will be difficult. I'd recommend preforming a complete system backup to an external harddrive as soon as you get the machine.

I would think you should be able to install Windows 7 Home Premium, especially if you wipe out Win 8 first. You may have to change it so the computer looks to the CD/DVD drive on boot up.
