Does the unit ship with a OS disc for re-installation? Is this the Tower form factor?

I got two OS install disks, a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version. Installed the 64-bit with little trouble. I received a tower.

Yes this does come with a disc. This tower works well, best thing I've bought. Amazon was awesome. Buy this you wont regret it.

The question is more of the interface than the OS. I was unable to use my unit as the SATA interface was incompatible. Check your hardware before your software.

Yes and no. This is for a new install. You will need to back up your data, and confirm all your software, hardware will work. There is a free program that will check your unit out at Microsoft. Download it run it and it will tell you what will or will not work. (Never had a problem upgrading a machine) Hope this helps.

Yes Margaret, this computer comes with brand new Windows 7 Operating System Installation disc.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

Yes it is a full operating system disk, you may have to find a few drivers but most of the time it has them all. I bought this disk just for that purpose for a full reinstall to a damaged hard drive.

I bought it for my nephew and it has an OS loaded and ready to go. No problems. Highly recommended,.

It does not come with a disk, but it does have pretty good driver maintenance/update software. My hard drives are partitioned into 4 1/2TB drives. I don't know of any reason you couldn't install both operating systems, but I have not had occasion to do so.

No, it is just the tower.. My monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers are in good condition. I just needed a new tower.

No OS media is shipped. You can/should burn a recovery disc. Waste of time loading windows 7. Just overlay Classic Shell if you can't bear to learn one more thing. http://www.classicshell.net/ http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5295996&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03481733-9%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

Yes, but any information on it would be removed during the install process. You need a blank drive so the disk station can format it.

Yes it does. However, it doesn't always come with operating system as advertised. Be certain that it is loaded or that a disc comes with.
