Ships with 8.0 but 8.1 is a free upgrade which automatically downloads through Windows Update.

Windows 8.1 is installed on my Surface Pro 2. Takes some getting used to, but overall I love everything about my Surface Pro 2. For me, this was the right choice!

Yes, I replaced my desktop and laptop computer with the MS Surface Pro. I run MS Office, MS Project Professional and many other desktop applications, as well as the enterprise systems at my office via the Surface Pro. I'm also excited about the Surface 2 Pro -- more memory, larger SSD and better battery life management. PLUS, they have a true docking station coming in early 2014.

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!

Follow up: Right after I responded to your inquiry my new computer upgraded to 8.1 automatically via Windows updates, and for free. Now I have 8.1 Pro. :)

This particular machine is Windows 8; however, I'm very curious as to why you don't want Windows 8.1. I would like to upgrade to Windows 8.1 because I'm finding Windows 8 just too weird and not user friendly. If you have any question about the machine itself, I can honestly say that it is awesome!! If you're a gamer like me, you're going to love it.........great ventilation, it's fast, and the graphics are tantalizing. If you know of any virtues of Windows 8 over 8.1, I would appreciate knowing; otherwise, I will surely ditch 8........as soon as I can figure out how to upgrade to 8.1.

The one I ordered came with 8.1. It included a copy of MS Office. The windows8.1 Pro version does not include the office software

This is only the Upgrade code from Windows 8.1. You will need Windows 8.1 before you can use this to upgrade to the Pro. If you have Windows 8 then you will need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 (which is free) before using this. None of this applies if you're running the Windows 8 or 8.1 RT edition for tablets.

You have two différent connectors. One for surface and surface 2, the other one for surface pro and surface pro 2. This one is for surface and surface 2.

I bought it for my surface pro 1. If surface pro 2 has the same display port, then it should work. It actually automatically detects when you connect

When I purchased this PC in July, 2014, it was Windows 7 Pro. I would check very carefully now because Windows 7 may not be available from manufacturers now. Windows 8 isn't too bad, and with the right start menu software that can be found online for free, it actually works better than I thought. Besides,a free upgrade to Windows 10 will be available very soon.

bought these devices to specifically link them to ATI cards with display port 1.2 ( not 1.1!!!) to expand the display ( specifically to a dell m6700 mobile workstation- still waiting to buy it). But I checked the functionality with a hd7970 card and it works as supposed.not sure about surface pro 2 has a display port ...

Pro Surface has Pro Windows, the name says it all, and don't hesitate to upgrade to 8.1 Pro it is a nice improvement.

I have read reviews that this is compatible with the Surface PRO 2. I own a Pro 1 so I really did not test it. I also went to Best Buy one day and the rep said it is compatible. The difference is that the touch keyboard cover for the PRO 2 is a bit thinner and has options for colors.

Surface Pro 2 runs Office 2013 Home and Student very well. This includes word and excel, as well as other programs. I think it would also handle the more complete Office programs just as well.

It worked with my 8.1 installation on a Surface Pro, however, there were a couple of ports on the device that were dead. I think it was a defective device vs it not being compatible with 8.1. Just make sure you have USB3 ports on your PC to get the full benefit of this device.

I have a Surface RT 8.1 and it works great. I don't know if this will work for the Surface 2 or Pro, there may be a slight size difference. Not sure.

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.
