will it run all windows 8 software that a laptop will run?

yeah. The system is win8 which is different with win8 rt. the rt cannot run the normal windows software. But this one could. Nothing different with normal PC.
238288
yes. we are running windows mail for email and windows office for documents, spreadsheets, etc.

only problem I've had so far as iTunes but that seems to work too just takes a little finagling

I don't know, but I suspect that it will. My experience was with Windows 8. In all fairness, I have had a great many applications that Windows 8 will not allow me to run, even though they worked great on Windows 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.

I do not know if this computer would run any version of these programs, though I seriously doubt it. I would recommend that you check with the makers of these programs to get the minimum system requirements for each program. Thank youPaulBetamacs

It probably will, if you run it in Win XP emulation mode. That may be dependent upon the version of WIN 8 you have...

Yes.. 100%. Just run the cd right off the bat. I've never used win 8 on mine.

It should,i use it on a surface and it runs Windows 8. You can upgrade that to Windows 8.1 if you want. Also Windows 10 will be a free upgrade when it comes out for Windows 8 users. Unless it's property off the school of course

Honestly it should work, however I don't know as I don't own windows machines

Of course. It comes with Windows 8 so any windows software may be installed.

Should be. Any machine running Windows 8 should be capable of running Windows 7. However, I've adapted to Windows 8, and I'm not having any difficulties with it. Just downloaded and installed Windows 8.1, and it is working fine.

Yup. I use it on my new Asus K55 laptop which runs Windows 8 64bit. Haven't had any issues what-so-ever

It runs great on both of my desktops and they are running Windows 7 and Windows XP so it should be fine for your laptop.

No you would need a full version of windows 8 to run your program. This version is RT and does not support full programs.

This is a computer.It will handle any windows software.I run Autocad 2014, photoshop,ms office, etc. without any problem.

Yes. The OS is Windows 8 with Windows Explorer. It will also run Google Chrome, which I use a lot.

It depends on how good your computer is. If you have a good graphics card and processer, then yes it will run on windows 7

There is a good chance it will run on windows 7 but window 8 RT is very unlikely (download apps only) window 8 Professional - don't know!
