Has anyone running Windows 7 64-bit had problems activating? If so, was it resolved? The possible solutions on their website didn't help.

Yes have Windows 7 64-bit and I could not activate it. It took a month, they sent me copy that required no activaction. So I'm not sure if it's the same copy I paid or not it's rather simple. I've had friends try to activate with no luck

OK. Do these laptops ship with a DVD copy of Windows 7? Some proprietary programs I run are probably not compatible with the 64-bit version and therefore I would need to re-install Windows 7 using the 32-bit version.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. So it should. The best thing would be to to write to their support, just to be on the safe side.

FWIW: Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

The best way to go about it is to wipe the hard drive for a clean install of 64 bit Windows7. There are drivers for Win7 64 bit on Acer's site so I imagine there wouldn't be any problems. As soon as mine arrives I plan to wipe and install Win7.

I have mine working well on Windows 8 64 bit so I don't see why it wouldn't work well on Windows 7 as well.

Gerry: I've got it installed on WINDOWS 7...but never use it. I'm using it on my WINDOWS XP (another computer) and it works just fine. I've had problems installing on "7"....and if that's the only thing you have.....good luck. I was just patient and kept at it after "7" was telling me to forgot it. But I did get a correct install.

Mine works perfectly on Windows 8 64-bit. Just plugged it in and it worked. Been using it daily ever since for hours at a time. I'm a gamer so.... Heh

I do not know why you would be having a problem activating. You could take a look at this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/why-activate-windowsActivation carries very few real benefits. It's a nuisance to have an unactivated copy, but you can ignore the activation messages and still use the computer for now. Certain Microsoft products such as Microsoft Security Essentials might require an activated version of Windows before you can use them (at least this happened in 7). I don't know if not having it activated will cause you problems down the line, so I recommend getting that fixed as soon as possible. Try contacting the seller and let them know the key you got doesn't work. I do not know why you would be having a problem activating.

Yep. I am currently using Windows 8 64bit and it works perfectly, but I looked for the driver and it is installed under the system32 folder, so even though it works without any problems, it is still 32bit.

The laptop has 64bit version windows 7 installed. The problem here is this laptop is refurbished and most likely installed adware.

I have already opened the package, can it be returned or no? That really sucks that it can't work for Windows 7, and ridiculous.. is there any way at all that we can get it to work? Thanks.

Yes, actually i use it with windows 7 64bits , buuuuut, you have to download the drivers from the web , windows doesn't recognize it automatically.

yes - it is 8 - 64 bit. there is a down load that will give you a windows seven start page which I would reccoment. This is a lot of computer for the money. I have had no issues except with windows 8 -- and skype. A new version of skype is on the computer -- but I reloaded the old version which was much more user friendly. rob

Since I do not have Win 7, I am afraid that I can not help you on this; I do note that my Win Vista Home Premium 64-bit was not compatible, however, W.V.Home Basic 32-bit on the other computer that I had with me worked just fine, so it may have been the 64-bit issue, which has been a problem several times.
