Yes you can install 8.1 --- however, my computer crashed with a hardware problem and is now in the HP repair shop. I wish I never purchased this computer.

Yes. I am pretty sure you can go back to windows 7, but don't know why you would not want to use windows 8.1. Once you experiment w/some changes, you will love it! do and the all in one too!

Yes you can use Windows 8.1, and you can also use the new Windows 10 when it is released. You do have to take into account your memory specs and processor specs as well. I would suggest having over 2GB of memory and a fairly decent processor for best experience.

Not available with Win 8.1, but you can upgrade to Win 8.1 for free using the Store App available on your DX4380-UR22 (you are actually better off without Win 8.1, but that's an answer for a different question).

Yes you can and yes it is! About three days after I was using it, I began receiving a message from Windows that I could upgrade to 8.1. I did but I'd be careful if I were you - my Brother LC61 does not function like it used to even though I uploaded new drivers from their website. Brother says its not their problem, Microsoft said they could fix it for $149!!!

Can one simply upgrade the Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 7 professional on this machine?

I have Win 8.1 on it and I happy with that, I don't want to change it for Win 7 (but I think I could)!

I think you can do that. But the Windows 8.1 require a flash drive with 24 GB memory.

When I bought it several months ago Windows 8.1 was not available. I'm fairly sure 8.1 is there now if you purchase this machine.

It's got Windows 8. So, do you mean DOWNgraded? Or are you being facetious?

I am sorry but I am not able to answer that question because I do not have Windows 8.1. I have Windows 7 and it works perfectly.

I did it. It is free. If you don't get an upgrade offer came up when 1st initiating and Registering Windows after you start the machine the 1st time, you can Google "Windows 8.1 Upgrade" and select the download from the MS website. You can also check the list of updates in the Windows Update app in Control Panel. It takes a while to download and install.

Yes, most units come preloaded with Windows 8.1 or just go into settings, update and recovery then windows update and install all available updates which will include Windows 8.1
