The memory is not upgradable as it is soldered to the motherboard. Personally I have run some games on high resolution settings and the gameplay has been excellent. Additionally, Windows 8 has been architected to be more efficient with the memory it uses so the higher memory requirements should not be an issue unless you plan on running Hyper-V or doing memory intensive type of computing.

Well you should probably ask the seller for that. I'm fine with the windows 8.

the unit I received boots up with windows 8 so it would have to do the downgrade

No you don't - but if you are upgrading you could also upgrade to Win 7 or 8 OS

That I do not know...I loaded Windows 7 on it and have never used Windows 8

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

I don't know if Windows 8 would change the hardware requirements from Windows 7. You might check Askbobrankin.com or windowssecrets.com. You can specifically ask that question at Askbobrankin.com.

Yes you should be able to upgrade it - but our business apps require us to have Windows 7 pro. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Win8+. I'd suggest doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install to keep your drivers, but suggest you go to Samsung's website if any drivers don't carry over.

Don't know. I have windows 7 and have heard that windows 8 is a can of worms. I wouldn't make any compatibility assumptions.

There shouldn't be any issues if you want to roll it back to Win 7, but this particular computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed.

As long as you have a clean Win 7 copy, sure. Can you downgrade win 8 that's on it to win 7? No. They push out new systems with the new operating system to further that gen of software

Windows 8 doesn't do a lot of things. It's not a good operating system just yet, revert to 7.

no, you can only upgrade, not downgrade. I thought windows 8 would suck, but after a few minutes with it, it was very intuitive. I have over 280 games on steam and every one of them is compatible with windows 8.
