Does software come with? I need to buy a new computer, and I'm curious about what kind of software comes with a laptop when you buy it through Amazon?

The Samsung NC10 does not come with any MS "add-on" (like Office or Works). There's not any trial versions (i.e., bloatware) included save the McAfee Security Suite (a trial version) is included. So, what you get is just the XP "home" version (with service pack 3). If you need Office, you might want to consider the FREE Open Office software suite from Sun (www.openoffice.com). It handles all Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, etc. files beautifully. I prefer it over any MS "office-type" software product MS sells. I got very tired of my MS Word shutting itself down, losing my work in the process. Open Office does not do that and I've been using it for a long time.

Yes, software does come with it. The software that comes with it is well worth the price.

No extra software that really is important. Norton antivirus comes with it but it is a limited time free. Everything in the specs for hardware.

The pre-installed software is the standard version of works and a spread sheet. This computer has windows 8 and Adobe is still working some bug out. Other software I don't know about. I had to buy word and excel and any games you want you will have to buy and download unless they are free. So this model doesn't come with much software. I hope I answered your question.Jim

It's a digital download. Purchase is faced in your Amazon account software vault for future download, but there are no physical disks that come with this purchase.

It does not; I have not had any problem as 99% of software is available by download now. Very good computer!

This product is sold with OR without the software. If you need the software look further down the amazon 1099 page.

Why don't u ask Amazon if 7 still comes with the package? The computer is supposed to come with instructions on what to do to get a copy of 7. I ordered this model yesterday and expect no problems. If the box doesn't have the info I'll contact Toshiba. I think its on their website but not sure. Don't u think people would be freaking out in the review if the 7 upgrade is not included? Best Buy- Go on their site and see for yourself. People don't get the facts straight many times. If you don't see the computer forget about it.

I am sure many are asking the same question! @Amazon PLEASE ANSWER...btw, did you purchase the laptop??

Another side note to mention... Nearly any computer you get pre-built from a manufacturer will come with "bloatware." It should be expected.

Hi Oscar. It's an awesome laptop! The laptops we sell with Amazon are built and ready to ship. Upgrades can be done after the purchase though and you could add for example a 240 GB Intel 530 or Crucial M500 mSata drive allowing you to keep the original drive for extra storage. Our laptops are built to allow owners to easily upgrade them.

The one I bought did not, but it was a used one. However, on HP's specs page for this laptop, under Productivity Tools it says: "Microsoft Office 2010: Buy Microsoft Office to activate Office software on this PC." That may mean that on a brand new laptop, there's a trial, and you would have to buy the software to keep using it.

It must have the software because you need to install it after you have open the box. Contact the person or place where you bought it.

This model doesn't come with the usb attachment and the software. I returned it to get the following model that came with the computer attachment and the required PC software. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032VFC84/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01

I think it comes with a CD so I would install the software on it. It has been awhile since I set mine up.

It comes with windows. You will need to purchase, as I did, Microsoft office. The laptop also came with anti-virus software.
