Yes , have had for about a month and love this thing, windows 8 took some getting use to but overall is awesome

Yes. There is a CD/DVD read-write drive in the front through a press-release panel.

Yes, it will work. I'm not sure of the legal issues, but I've had no problem copying backup CD's with this machine.

No - I recommend getting either an external DVD/CD reader, or an external hard drive such as a Western Digital passport that you can store larger files such as installation media, etc. and run those from the external drive.

Yes you can. Great PC, for low level performance. Microsoft office & desktop works great. Enjoy

Yes you can because this Drive comes with a 3.5 metal tray that you can screw the drive onto it and screw the tray into the desktop very easy to setup and install

Yes. There is a CD/DVD +/- RW Drive in this laptop to play CDs and DVDs and burn (make) CDs and DVDs with.

you can not make cd's in this machine-only copy them. You can copy compilation cds after you make them in a computer

You can use it as you would any other desktop. The only issue would be if you want dual monitors you would need a new graphics card.

I'd guess that you can. (So far, I've only needed to do one each with each kit (32-bit and 64-bit). I cannot say whether or not you may (i.e., whether there are licensing restrictions). My PCs are for my personal use. I'm less concerned than if I were using them commercially.

You need to install a hard drive, the memory, and then drivers on the machine and then you will need to install an operating system - I highly suggest getting an external CD/DVD Drive.

No. You can just play music from either the thumb drive or cd but there is no interaction between the two.

Not quite, you'd need to install memory, hard drive (sold separately) and then the operation system. For me, Ubuntu Desktop v12 worked just fine.

Only Installation CD with drivers. They offer a free bundle of a few different trial software (eg Corel Paint). You have to go to the web site to download if you like.

Nope, not unless you get an external drive. It doesn't come with a CD drive at all.

Yes, it's a desktop made with components you could buy individually on sites such as amazon, so it should be just as upgrade-able as any other.

You generally will not get a windows cd with most new systems. The os should be fully functional out of the box. The office program is a trial and you will need to purchase a key or you can download a free word processing program such as open office or similar
