It is Windows 8. As far as I know 8.1 is only available currently as a Beta. Also, I have read that if you install the Beta and have problems, there is no way to uninstall it without wiping the hard drive clean and reloading the entire Gateway load set and also any user software you added. I don't plan to try 8.1 until it is released. Also, go to Microsoft's site and take a look at the improvements in 8.1 Microsoft has mentioned, many of them have to do with Touch and other features that I am not much interested in for a desktop. So I am not holding my breath on 8.1, but I will try it when official, if I don't switch to Windows 7 first. It is Windows 8. As far as I know 8.1 is only available currently as a Beta.

The one I ordered came with 8.1. It included a copy of MS Office. The windows8.1 Pro version does not include the office software

It is windows 8--my father is having a very difficult time learning to use this computer because windows 8 is different from the past windows operating systems.

Computer runs Windows 8.0, then you upgrade to 8.1 once computer is running.

8.1 is very similar to 8. biggest difference I've noticed is the addition of a start menu button on the taskbar.

I don't know about win 8.1 but I had a terrible experience with this product in general. 2 defective units with different hardware issues.

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

Mine came with Windows 8.1, and then you naturally get the usual updates from Microsoft.

Windows 7 64 bit. Bought it specifically to avoid getting Windows 8, an inferior OS for a desktop.

From what I can tell it works for both. I use Windows 8.1 which is 64 but and have had no problems. This program from the early days has rarely caused me grief.
