I'm not sure which version it was. We ended up removing it an installing windows 7 as it proved too difficult for my elderly mother to learn a new version.

No sure, although when I check PC info, it says Windows 8, So 'm assuming just the consumer version.

I purchased it for business use. Needed professional for certain programs. If it wasn't for those systems would have purchased home operating system.

Windows 8. I loaded classic shell (free) so the 8 resembles the old XP versions.

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 don't know, I don't have Windows 8. What is Amazon's return policy for software?

Since it is my fiance's computer, I'm not quite certain if it is Windows 8 Pro or not. I just know it is Windows 8 and that it works moderately well.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed, and 2 "restore" CDs for Windows 8, or at least that's what they are labeled. Honestly, I like Windows 7 so well that I'm not worried about pursuing Windows 8, especially since this model doesn't have a touchscreen.

It's not RT. I have many desktop programs installed on it, including MIRC, Paint.net, and the desktop version of Evernote. I am not sure if it comes Windows Pro or a home version. I have the Windows 8.1 Preview installed right now. The 8.1 Preview also will not run on the RT version.

Yes. I have Windows 8 Professional, 64 bit. Works fine. Keep in mind it has preinstalled backup software. This worked too, but I abandoned it as I use a different backup method and didn't want more software running in the background. Good luck!

Mine came with Windows 8. I have added MS Office to mine so you shouldn't have any problem.

No, it doesn't. Office Home comes with Windows RT and Windows Surface, but not Windows 8

My machine shipped with Windows 8. I am running Classic Shell (free, download.com) which will give you a choice of looking like Windows Classic, Win XP or Win 7 when you boot up. Helps with the learning curve.
