is it upgradable to windows 8.1 and will it run bitlocker

To the person mentioning problems with 8.1: I have never heard of 8.1 bricking an s7. That sounds more like user error than anything. Not to mention the fact that "bricking" is not really an appropriate term to use to describe a problem with windows installation. There is no way you can cause such a severe problem during install that you brick your laptop. I didn't even need to install additional drivers to have the touchscreen work out of the box with 8.1.

I upgraded to 8.1 immediately with no problem. I am not familiar with bitlocker, so I cannot answer that question.

I don't know if it'll run bitlocker or not, but do not upgrade to windows 8.1. In my case, upgrading to Windows 8.1 immediately bricked my laptop. While this issue is not present in all S7s, it is still fairly common for people to experience slugishness and issues with turning the laptop on and off after upgrading to 8.1. Personally, I'd recommend just buying a different laptop. The design of the S7 might be nice, but it's not worth risking the myriad of potential problems that you might have right out of the box.

It runs out of the box, no purchasing for any upgrades needed.Note - even if incoming upgrade coming (from windows 8 to windows 8.1), it should be free or you can just reject.

I bought this long before the release of Windows 8.1. (This was a gift for younger brother.) I don't want to assume that it's not compatible. Do you participate on any online forums that focus on these type of games? They would be better able to answer this question for you.

It'll run 8.1 just fine. My only recommendation is to wait for windows 10... :)

It is very easy to set up. If you have Windows 8.0, you will need to UPDATE your files. Then you can download Windows 8.1.

You should not encounter any issues. I'm running 64bit with Windows 8.1 and everything is fine. I'm not a techie though I'm trying to be one. Using the Click free backup has been great. Very easy to use! Great product!

Yes it can run on Windows 8.1 However it will need to run on the Steam program which is free unless you desire to buy more engines and more tracks.

I'm running Windows 8.1 on mine and it works great. Also, you might want to try Windows 10 technical preview.

As of yet I can not speak from experience as it's a long term build and the board has not been installed, but according to the Gogabyte website, it supports Windows 8.1/8/7...,Also seeing that all the latest Win 8.1 drivers comes in 64bit for the AMD platform, I strongly believe that it will run flawlessly with Windows 8.1 64bit. My first boot will be in 2-3 months from now and I will update my answer then for Windows 8 and Linux Fedora 20.
