Is the operating system Windows 8 Professional?

It's Windows 8, not Windows 8 Professional. So it can't be downgraded to Windows 7, if that's what you're looking for.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional as the operating system. But no Word. Actually, when I got it, it had a Word but not certified, so I have to use Open Office... but they did advertise that correctly. Yes, mine did come with an operating system. You can also contact the seller...they seem to back up what they say and will answer questions. KM

No. Only need pro if you want to attach to a corporate domain or use a few advanced IT oriented Win8 features.

This particular model - 367927U - ships with Pro. There are other models that ship with the base version of Windows 8.

Yes, but according to the chart you need Windows 7 Professional, not Home Premium, for that.

Mine came with Windows 7 professional installed and with recovery disks for Windows 8 should you want to upgrade.

I have NOT played it on Windows 8; I have been playing it on Windows 7 Professional and it runs pretty smoothly....

I purchased it for business use. Needed professional for certain programs. If it wasn't for those systems would have purchased home operating system.

Yes. I had Windows 8 and worked just fine. I later upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro and still works great.

I have Windows 7 professional on mine. I may have paid extra to have professional vs. home.

Sorry, I have no idea. As I said in my review, I had a professional install my Windows 7.

It comes with Windows Pro 64 Bit, with a Free Upgrade to Windows 8 (which I didn't use).

When I purchased this PC in July, 2014, it was Windows 7 Pro. I would check very carefully now because Windows 7 may not be available from manufacturers now. Windows 8 isn't too bad, and with the right start menu software that can be found online for free, it actually works better than I thought. Besides,a free upgrade to Windows 10 will be available very soon.

Nope. But I like the windows 8 since it is much more convenient for me to review pages. By the way, the machine I bought a month ago is running really good. I am an architect, and I can run five software at the same time without any problem. Strongly recommended.
