Why are there no tutorials for Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail included with this computer? Or, at least, directions as to how and get them.

Don't know. But I would guess that since the latest OS is Windows 8. And I understood that Windows 7 was included as a perk for those who are familiar with it and didn't want to change since Windows 8 is touch screen. Also if you notice the included restore disk is for Windows 8 not 7. If you are unfamiliar with 7, I purchase the Windows 7 for Dummies which is an excellent resource.

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'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

Hooch: For the price I paid, I did not expect it to have any software and it did not but I was given the gift by Microsoft of a free upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I personally do not like any one to load up my computer with what they believe I need as far as software is concerned, it means that I eventually need to delete it.

I get very frustrated with 8. You have to be open to learning the program or maybe taking a class on it...tutorial. You can switch to the old desk top version, too, with the Windows 8 that I have on here.

I really don't remember, but I wouldn't bet on it. So many of these educational packages didn't work on Windows 7 for me.

If you can appreciate windows 8, it may be an excellent computer. I haven't taken the time to learn how to deal with it. For me it was a huge mistake. I can't figure out how to get consistent performance when I try to find the drop down menu, and even then, it doesn't take me where I want to go. Its like trying to drive a car with no steering wheel, hoping you lean the right direction hard enough to sway it where you want. Totally stupid!!!

Sorry, but I can't help you on this one. Fortunately, I have not had a bit of trouble with this computer. I love it. And it is Windows 7, which is what I wanted.

There are several issues with getting this computer to correctly work with windows, or should I say you getting use to the keyboard. The keyboard is really awesome, but doesn't play well with Windows.- Delete key, even if you map it (using several mapping utilities such as sharp key) will not work in outlook. So deleting emails is really pain. Still trying to figure this one out.- Alt/Window -> alt/Command, this mapping is easy or just get used to switched key combinations-- Fwd delete / backspace-- no page up/page down / insert

For question two, the answer is a definite NO, no user guide, no instructions, no nothing. Unless you happen to be familiar with Windows 8, stay away fro purchasing one. Microsoft may think that their system is intuitive, but, I have owned many computer, starting with Commodore DOS units, Microsoft

I have been thinking about it but after reading everything I can find it doesn't appear to be anything I would tackle myself. The cost of hiring an expert and buying Windows 7 would come close to buying another computer. I am using this Windows 8 machine and hating it every minute. As soon as I can afford it I am trashing it and buying something else. The actual hardware seems good. It is just the operating system that is trash. I would not buy it. I would search for an older computer with Windows 7 on it. I have Windows 7 on my laptop and love it. I hope this helps. Charles

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.

Not good. The PC has about 4 drivers missing that are only valid for W8+. I tried it and tried to get drivers, but did not find anywhere. Yes, I hate W8.

You may want to ask Winfun for a download or new copy of the manual. I would send you a copy of mine but it's gone.
