Yes - if you purchased it with Window 8 - the upgrade to 8.1 is free. You'll see it in your Updates when it's available to upgrade.

No. It comes with Windows 8.0 installed. You can download the upgrade to 8.1 from the Windows store.

Hooch: For the price I paid, I did not expect it to have any software and it did not but I was given the gift by Microsoft of a free upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I personally do not like any one to load up my computer with what they believe I need as far as software is concerned, it means that I eventually need to delete it.

I think you can do that. But the Windows 8.1 require a flash drive with 24 GB memory.

It comes with Windows 8 installed, but you can update to Windows 8.1 for free. It runs Windows 8.1 just fine.

To upgrade the memory it would be an additional $165.00 There is no extra charge for the Windows 8.1

I think all of them have the Windows 8.1 upgrade, but I would recommend something called "Classic Shell" (google it) available for free. Classic Shell gives you a regular start menu. I rarely use Windows, as Ubuntu Linux can be installed for free as a better operating system "dual boot" alongside the Windows. I would recommend the Ubuntu operating system, but you have to know how to partition and resize discs to install it.

I'm a computer guy and order these for my customers. Some have arrived with Windows 8, the 8.1 update is free but takes getting all of the updates for Windows 8 first, which usually fails the first time after about 3 hours and then works the 2nd time you try it. The Windows 8.1 update may take another 3 or 4 hours, so be prepared to devote a day to it. Others have had 8.1 on them to begin with. It's the luck of the draw as far as I can tell. Hope this helps. They are nice computers and a good value for the money.

Maybe you can, but why, windows 10 will be free in the near future and would be easier to upgrade and save you money in long run.

I was able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free through a download offered to me in the same manner as a regular update. The system information just says I have Windows 8.1 and gives no version. Since I have 8.1, I can't go back to determine which version of Windows 8 came installed on the computer. I don't know about Windows Professional.

win 8 not pro and does upgrade to 8.1 free. You have to do updates to win 8 before it can do the upgrade to 8.1
