Why do all of these only have Windows 7 and not 8

Michael, there is a large number of people that absolutely do not like Windows 8. I bought a very good computer with 8 on it and it did not fit my needs. I sold it at a big loss and reordered one with Windows 7 which is working great for me. I mainly work with my 20,000 family photos dating from 1888. Hope this answers your question. Max

Windows 8 is a major overhaul to the Windows setup that most people do not like. I specifically bought this computer because I did not want Windows 8. So it is probably Windows 7 because there is still some demand for it out there.

Regarding the previous answers to your question..this I believe, is the reason there is a backlog on this computer. Windows 8 has a bad reputation.

I would say because right now Windows 7 is easier to use than Windows 8. If you are already using an earlier version of Windows then you will find Windows 7 similar to what you are already using. I looked at laptops in stores here before buying my new laptop on Amazon. The store salesman said he owned a one with Windows 8 and he was having issues in using it. He recommended buying Windows 7 at least for now. So the answer to your question is there is still a demand for Windows 7 as long as it is still offered. My experience it is hard to find a Windows 7 in the stores though sp Amazon is meeting a need. I would say because right now Windows 7 is easier to use than Windows 8.

The machine I purchased had Windows 7 Pro, but the newer copies have Windows 8 Pro. Check with the manufacturer before you buy.

I am running a windows 8 version on this computer, but I may be confused at your question.

Because amazon reused the heading form when this computer DID come with 7. Not that everything is 8 or 8.1. They had to change the tech specs.... windows 8 is an ok system. But 8.1 is more user friendly.

It comes default with Windows 8 but MSI's website has drivers for Windows 7. Windows 7 works fine for me.

Hi Gerald, This PC comes with Windows 8. There's no other available model from this model series that comes with Windows 7.You may have to reformat your PC and install a Windows 7 on it.Thanks PCrush

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

On the new computers the OS is Windows 8. Other soft ware depends on the machine itself.

Windows 8 doesn't do a lot of things. It's not a good operating system just yet, revert to 7.
