No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

Angela, the OS is listed as "Windows 8," without reference to version or "Pro."Mary

mine was running 8 - check that it has a serial number though - mine didn't and wasn't under warranty.

Windows 8 pro is mainly used for multi-computer configurations for businesses and organizations. For home use, there's really nothing in the pro version that would enhance your use of the system by using pro. Hope this helped.

Yes, already been done and working fine. Using Pro with all features. No major issues, but do not upgrade but fresh install as upgrade could cause problems.

Nope, no problems--running Win 7 ultimate and also Win 7 pro and all runs smoothly as advertised. Try clean install. Good luck

Mine came with Windows 7 professional installed and with recovery disks for Windows 8 should you want to upgrade.

win 8 not pro and does upgrade to 8.1 free. You have to do updates to win 8 before it can do the upgrade to 8.1

came with window 7 pro pre-installed, and with a windows 8 disk - I assume there's a downgrade license from window 8 to windows 7 - not sure otherwise

The new machine came with Windows 8.1 installed, but it was not Windows 8.1 Pro. All I did was buy the Pro upgrade and install it. The upgrade is not a CD. All you get is serial number that you enter during the upgrade process. So you have a choice, buy the serial number on line and get it immediately or buy the serial number that comes in the box and upgrade after receiving the box.

It comes with Windows Pro 64 Bit, with a Free Upgrade to Windows 8 (which I didn't use).

Yes ! Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit runs great. Max out the memory and add an SSD for better performance if you can

Yes it is . I am running it on a 10 year old Windows 7 Gateway with some memory expansion. All else is stock..It is working perfectly as we speak and type this response to you. Windows 7 Pro should not be a problem the software should interface the sameMy windows 8 is an Asus and does not need it. Hope that helps

The CPU is x64 based processor so I am going to take a wild guess, Yes Windows 8 should be 64bit as well otherwise it will not recognize the entire 4GB anyway but I highly doubt it will be Pro Edition... Most likely Home Edition. --Edit There is no such thing as Home, there is 8/8.1 and 8/8.1 Pro but it is comparable to the home vs pro in previous versions of Windows.

Yes. I had Windows 8 and worked just fine. I later upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro and still works great.
