What windows is working better on this laptop (from your experience)? 7 or 8? 32 or 64? Thanks in advance!

In my opinion Win 8 is an abomination. I really wish this laptop had not shipped with 8. This laptop isn't a touchscreen, which makes it anespecially ill fit for Win 8.

giving that it's coming with win8, you better use it. 32bit can't use more than 4gig of ram, and is not in use these days so there is really no point for using it..im using the default and very happy with it

Windows 8 is not so bad if you upgrade to 8.1 like I did. If you right click the new Start button you can access many useful shortcuts that before were buried in other menus. Programs and games work perfectly. My only complaint is that accessing programs from the metro interface is more of a hassle than the old Start menu. Still, only a minor gripe to an otherwise good OS.

Never used Windows 8. We do have Windows 7 on another laptop but only because Windows was a reqiurement for some course material. Other than that we haven't used Windows on any of the many computers we have had since 2006. Since 2006 we have been using Linux exclusively (mostly Ubuntu, but lately We have been using Linux Mint). It works fine for Web browsing, office programs and email. Lots of software and games available for free download.This is the second computer we have bought with Linux pre-installed and it works well. Does everything we need

FWIW:Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

I have a 64 bit OS (Windows 7) using a Lenovo series T430. I have had no problems in 2 yrs. I Hope this helps you.

The 64bit Windows 7 will not work on a 32bit computer; I believe that if you tried to install it, you would get a message saying that the OS will only work on 64bit systems.

I used a Windows 7 64 bit computer; Dell laptop. Nothing special, it's a computer I got back in 2011-2012 and it runs fine.

It is now running on ultimate 7 , but would like to restore it back to windows 8. Do you have original 8 setup for a Toshiba Satellite c855d-s5307. It has a 500 Hard Drive, and 8rams.

I am running Win7 Pro 64-bit on both my laptop and my main PC and its works great with both. However, you should be able to check the Samsung website to find compatibility issues with most, if not all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Sorry I couldn't have been more specific to your concerns. Microsoft as stopped offering updates for XP, so if you get a chance, you should update to Win7. I prefer Win7 over the new Win8. Win8 seems too invasive into your private life!

Yep. I am currently using Windows 8 64bit and it works perfectly, but I looked for the driver and it is installed under the system32 folder, so even though it works without any problems, it is still 32bit.

When I bought this laptop it was my intention to install Windows 7, but after using Windows 8 extensively I felt the change was unneeded. However, if you are more comfortable with version 7, it will work great this computer.

Windows 7 needed a seperate disc for 32-bit vs 64-bit. Most versions of Windows 8.x come with both versions, I believe.

Yes, I have been running it on W7 64bit since it came out.Just clean out the old drivers, go to their site and download new drivers.

I had no problems with Win 7, did not try Win 8- it started to malfunction and I have not analyzed the problem yet- realized I was not going to use it as much because even with three screens(laptop and two others I can only really have two in content
