I believe so, I like the computer a lot but I am getting a CRAZY amount of advertisements that pop up constantly and prevent me from doing a lot of things. Just be careful with windows 8

The laptop comes with Windows 8.1 Standard installed. The standard edition will not let you join the laptop to an active directory domain or use the Hyper-V hypervisor to create virtual machines, among other things. I think the upgrade to Pro can be found for around $100.

No, this model comes with Windows 8.1, 64-bit. You can upgrade rather easily using the link in the System control panel. However, it may be less expensive for you to just buy a PC with 8.1 Pro pre-installed. Good luck!

yes, it is but after i crashed my windows and after a fresh install, the key chipped in the board is not registering my windows 8 because this laptop didn't come with windows 8 media.

Yes, this is a full Windows machine. You will need to grab the Windows 8.1 update in the Windows Store.

Actually you need to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 before you can install the pro version (the upgrade to 8.1 from 8 is free). The pro pack box just has an authorization code in it to download and activate the pro features. You actually have to initiate the pro upgrade from the Windows 8.1 control panel and then enter the code so with a previous version of Windows (or none at all) there is no way to initiate the install.

All of the xps 13's the that we have purchased with windows 8 have been the standard version of 8. None have been windows 8 pro.

The old version is windows 8 or 8 with media pro both have available free downloads to upgrade to the new 8.1 or you will have to buy the windows 8.1 Full Install I beleive that it runs about 120 dollars at most retail stores ...Just as a side note you need to make sure that you have windows 7 or later before you purchase you cannot do the install from the other operating systems .Also a word to the wise although your system might meet all the requirements Microsoft didnt bother to tell everybody that their new windows isent compatible with some processor chips (example the dell dimmensions 8300 pentium 4) processor chip wont allow you to to switch to nk which it needs to run the system some processors wont work with this system make sure to check all your specs befor purchase

came with window 7 pro pre-installed, and with a windows 8 disk - I assume there's a downgrade license from window 8 to windows 7 - not sure otherwise

I have windows 7 professional and it works like a charm, so I guess it would work with windows 8.1. If it was only working for Windows XP then I would have questioned it.

When I bought it several months ago Windows 8.1 was not available. I'm fairly sure 8.1 is there now if you purchase this machine.

It comes with Windows 8.1 Pro if you get the 512GB version. I run Photoshop on it with no problems.

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

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.
