i bought this computer used, and i was wondering if it will still come with windows 8 installed or will i have to purchase my own copy of it? Thanks!

The fact you bought it used should not make a difference whether or not windows 8 is installed. Because it comes pre installed you won't have to pay for it. worst case scenario is you factory reset it to get access to it

Mine came loaded with Windows 7, but it has an official Windows 8 sticker on the bottom. Win 8 may be included somehow, but I'm just not interested enough to find out where.

You would have to fresh install it your self.It does not come with Windows 7. Only Windows 8.

The unit I ordered had Windows 7 installed by the seller. If you can have the seller install Win7 you are going to be better off. Win 7 is the best Operating System to date. Very, very stable software. Better than 8 or any others And this is coming from Computer experts and my own experience.

When I bought it, it came with Windows 7 installed and had a free upgrade to Windows 8.Although a lot of the installed software is incomparable with 8. Also the built in camera worked after the upgrade then it broke.

Does not come with installation disc (I don't think any do anymore). You can burn "recovery discs" and/or leave the recovery partition, usually "Drive D". you can then delete Windows 8 & install win7 from a separately purchased disc. This is more expensive (by the price of new win7 disc) than trying to find (if you can) a machine with similar specs w/ win7 pre-installed. ----OR--- Look into the new win 8.1 & Win 8.2. I don't know, but I heard they are much better than Win8. Good Luck!

Yes. It comes with Windows 8. One of the first things you will want to do is to update it 8.1 which is done in the Windows store after an initial update.

It should come pre installed. The Windows 8 code is on the side of the comp.

Currently we do NOT have this model of computer with a Windows 7 operating system. The only available models all come with Windows 8. If your still interested I can provide you with a couple links and tips that would allow you to utilize Windows 8 exactly the same way as your used to with Windows 7. The main tool being this: http://www.classicshell.net/Or if this isn't quite what your looking for I can provide you with a couple alternative ways of going about getting/setting up a computer with Windows 7Have a good one!

Mine originally came with Windows 8 which I upgraded to Windows 8.1 which is a free upgrade on the Microsoft Store for all Windows 8 device owners.

it came with windows 8 pre-installed, but no physical disc. their is, however, a backup partition on the hard disc that can restore the system to factory defaults. I believe you can also burn a copy of the windows 8 backup DVD from the system recovery settings.

I have had this computer approx two weeks. It came with Windows 8 and free upgrade to 8.1.

I have been thinking about it but after reading everything I can find it doesn't appear to be anything I would tackle myself. The cost of hiring an expert and buying Windows 7 would come close to buying another computer. I am using this Windows 8 machine and hating it every minute. As soon as I can afford it I am trashing it and buying something else. The actual hardware seems good. It is just the operating system that is trash. I would not buy it. I would search for an older computer with Windows 7 on it. I have Windows 7 on my laptop and love it. I hope this helps. Charles

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

Mine came with windows 8. I removed it and installed 7. Made the mistake of reinstalling 8.1 and still hate it.

Mine came with Windows 8. I then upgraded to 8.1 for free with some difficulty. I understand Bill Gates uttered some expletives as he spent much of his first day back trying to upgrade to 8.1. It really is enough to make your mouth drop as to how this OS is a step backwards in usability.
