Great so far. You just need to be patient, it takes time o get used to the way the new operating system works. Computer is great, easy to set up and use.

Just checked the box it says good for WinXP (SP3), Vista (SP1)/7/8 and that's quoted in system requirements. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I can't help you on this one. Fortunately, I have not had a bit of trouble with this computer. I love it. And it is Windows 7, which is what I wanted.

I am using Windows 7, Vista has a terrible reputation and would suspect that that is the problem. My advice is to dump Vista.

It should replicate it completely. Worst case it may ask you for the Win 7 Key.

I couldn't tell you...I am running Windows 7, but I can tell you it works fine for me

I'm not sure as I just followed the prompts via the windows app I downloaded from their site. it usually takes a good 3 minutesfor my laptop to connect. And it usually doesn't stay connected.

I have windows 7 which plays without problems so it probably plays ok. but I don t know but I have always enjoyed the game and would consider it worth the risk.

Yes, it's Windows 8 & 64 bit. I know a lot of people are skeptical of Windows 8, but once you get used to the interface - there's actually a ton of stability, security, and speed improvements under the hood. Plus Microsoft is re-adding a start button with Windows 8.1. The Windows Experience Index numbers I gave in my review are with Windows 8.

XP would be the only questionable one I believe. I've played with no problems on 7, 8, and 8.1

i thought Windows 8 was OK. Nothing terrible. One click to get out of that silly tile-based interface to a real desktop. Not so bad.

I have not tried to down grade this from Windows 8 to Windows 7 yet. I did a lot of searching of online reviews of this computer, before I bought it. Somewhere I saw someone complained when they down graded it from Windows 8 to Windows 7, and they had a problem with finding drivers for some of the computer components, but I cannot find that review (This may have been on another HP Desktop, but not sure). Best Buy has a lot more reviews on this exact computer, and here is the posted link. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+ENVY+Desktop+-+10GB+Memory+-+1.5TB+Hard+Drive/7479285.p?id=1218847153040&skuId=7479285&strId=468&strClr=true "I was reading some of the review on the best buy website and a couple of them did put Windows 7 on their machines. One was a 3 star review and the second one was a 4 star review. You might want to try and ask the person who posted that review the same question and see if they are happy with the down grade. Also I was shown where to download the Start Button for Windows 8, and this has made my life a lot easier using this computer. Here is the link for the start button for Classic Windows 8. http://www.classicstart8.com/. I'm too chicken to try and down grade the operating system, because this is my only working desktop right now. I did add in a used blue-ray player from my last dead HP Desktop, and I only had to upgrade the Cyberlink PowerDVD software to 13, and the blue-ray works just fine. I hope this helps you out with your question.

I really don't know. I'm not sure how good the product is. Read the other reviews. I have windows 7.

If I remember right it comes with a trial version. Have to pay to get it permanently. Research Windows 8 though before you buy. You're not like it.

It was for me. I didn't seem to have any problem using it when I upgraded from XP to Windows 7.
