Windows 7 is pre-installed. Windows 8 however suits the PC well if that's your preference.

Actually is i dont know or try to do that, but windows 8 is just like windows 7 with different "start menu" design . And most of apps are now copatible with w8Also it can be install win 7 because the system requirment is enough for that.

No. If you can, buy a computer with windows 7. It is far superior than Windows 8. Also, Acer has oneof the worst warranties.

Windows 7 is installed. There's $14.95 deal for a do it yourself upgrade to 8, but if you've never done a similar thing before it can be a challenge.

I have not tried, but that is an option I have considered. I definitely think Windows 7 would work better than 8 on this machine because 7 is a "lighter" operating system (doesn't take as much to run it). I think Linux would be even better, I am just not sure if Linux has all the drivers.

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

Yes. Although Windows 8 may seem vastly different from Windows 7, mostly all components that worked for Windows 7 will also work for Windows 8.

Mine came with both options either windows 7 or 8 and you choose which you prefer when you first set it up.

In my opinion. No. Windows 7 is much more user friendly especially if you don't have a touch screen computer

That would be the best thing you could do for your computer and your piece of mind. I feel it is better then Windows 8.

I don't know for sure. I looked into the change but decided it wasn't worth the trouble. It's been a year and I still think Windows 8 is the worst product they ever made. I would just look for a computer with Windows 7.

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.

When I bought this laptop it was my intention to install Windows 7, but after using Windows 8 extensively I felt the change was unneeded. However, if you are more comfortable with version 7, it will work great this computer.

Forget about windows 8, it's a piece of junk. Get windows 7 instead; not as good as XP but a hell of a lot better than 8 and you can run a XP format from windows 7.

I don't know about Windows 8 but I am using Windows 7 64-bit with no problems.
