Not if you intend to use Windows 8. If you intend to use 8 or 8.1, this machine is now pre-loaded with 8. Upgrade to 8.1 is free and only takes a couple hours on a normal internet connection. If you intend to use Windows 7 however, you will have to purchase it separately and do a trick or two to install properly.

It is 64-bit operating system Windows 8.1, I bought a refurbished Acer Aspire R7-572, and the warranty is only 90 days.

I am almost positive that you can. I have not fully downloaded to Windows 8.1.

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

Of course! All windows 8 computers are eligible for the free 8.1 upgrade... I have 8.1 on my ME400c now

The same physical computer can be purchased with Windows 8 pre-installed. It's model DS01, instead of DS02 or DS03. So the answer is obviously yes, but I do not know if it is easy to install 8 from scratch. As for 8.1, it's my uderstanding that you would upgrade from 8.

My computer came with the Windows 8.1. If your machine comes with Windows 8.0 you can download Window 8.1 from the Microsoft website at no additional cost.

Yes. But even if it has windows 8, the device should prompt you upgrade to 8.1 for free during update. Mine has windows 8.1

It came with Windows 8. I had to install 8.1. I don't know if the RAM is upgradeable, you may find out from Asus' website.

If you're asking if it has Windows 8.1, the answer is no. It uses the Chrome OS, not Windows, and is not compatible with Windows programs. You do just about everything online with your browser to create documents, surf the web, etc. I suggest you read up on what the Chrome OS is (not the Chrome browser, which is a different thing altogether).

No. I don't know what you're looking at, but this is a computer only with Windows 8.1. Incidentally, it works very well for my purposes. For less than $300.00 you can't beat it.

Hi Pamela, It doesn't have the 8.1 version of Windows included. You will still need to download the 8.1 update. Microsoft provides the updates here. Its super easy but extra work. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial I hope that helps

Yes. It's a regular Windows 8 computer with USB ports and WiFi, so any computer that supports either of those methods can be used (which is to say, pretty much any computer made in the last 15 years).
