It came with the Win8 std version. But I've already upgraded to 8.1 for free at MS Shop

8.1 is very similar to 8. biggest difference I've noticed is the addition of a start menu button on the taskbar.

It's 8.1, came installed already. I am really happy with 8.1. I'm sorta dreading windows 10. I've gotten used to 8.1, and I really really like it.

When I purchased this unit, Windows 8.1 is the OS. Takes a bit of getting use to but works OK.

Comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 (64) Professional, but has the upgrade discs for Windows 8 if buyer wishes to install.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed, and 2 "restore" CDs for Windows 8, or at least that's what they are labeled. Honestly, I like Windows 7 so well that I'm not worried about pursuing Windows 8, especially since this model doesn't have a touchscreen.

I can't tell what version it comes with - I have used the free upgrade to 8.1 and even there, the PC info page does not identify the specific version. Sorry.

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!

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.

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.

Microsoft has an "upgrade" that is free - Windows 8.1. It makes the W8 a bit more like W7, but not entirely. W8/8.1 takes some getting used to but it isn't too bad. If you get a touch screen laptop (this one is not touch screen) it might be a bit easier to get accustom to.

The current (5/30/14) version on Amazon is advertised as being configured with Windows 7 Home Premium. It had better come with that I just ordered it and I really don't like W8. I bought a W8 laptop for my nieces birthday and set it up for her then she loaded 8.1 and a lot of system changed.

It shipped with Win 8.1 32 bit. I would have preferred the 64 bit Pro, since the Atom processor supports 4GB RAM with the 64. It did come with MS Office Student license (the pro doesn't). Not a big deal for me since I prefer OpenOffice (all open source when I can) and installed it along with MS Office. A side note: The 128GB model may come with Pro.

Mine came with 8.1. The keyboard and mouse are of a decent quality and it comes with both.
