Does it come with 64 or 32 bit Windows 8?

Mine came with 64 bit Win8. There is a known issue with these machines and the Win8.1 upgrade. If you have trouble getting the 8.1 upgrade tile to show up in the "Store", go to the Dell site and start a Live Chat with technical support. You probably won't figure out fix on your own.To comment on Douglas' answer- I had already applied all the updates Windows Update provided, then found the 8.1 update still was not available. Check my review on this product. :)

It ships with Windows 8 64-bit. As far as I know, there is no bug with the Windows 8.1 upgrade. You do have to install all of the Windows Update patches, however, before Windows 8.1 will appear in the Store. That's not a bug, but a precaution to insure 8.0 is ready for the upgrade to 8.1.

It is 64-bit. The only problem with it is it comes with Windows 8. I rue the day I got Windows 8 and yearn for return of Windows 7. Microsoft pulled a real goof with Windows 8.

It is 64-bit, but it is 32-bit compatible so you can install a 32bit version of Windows or any other operating system. You may want make sure your motherboard is compatible.

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

This is 32 bit, if it were the 64 bit version that would be indicated (possibly as "X64")

The one I received did NOT have a CD/DVD drive, and I did not expect it to, for my use, I don't need a CD/DVD drive, I've been living with out it just fine for a while now, my last laptop did have one, but I can probably recall using once or twice during the, believe it or not, 4 years that I had it with me...and yes, It is a 64 bit version of Windows 8, great machine by the way!

Yep. I am currently using Windows 8 64bit and it works perfectly, but I looked for the driver and it is installed under the system32 folder, so even though it works without any problems, it is still 32bit.

64 bit. Works well. Not sure I like Windows 8 but that's they way they all come now.
