Mine came with windows 8. I removed it and installed 7. Made the mistake of reinstalling 8.1 and still hate it.

Perhaps you could check that all components of Windows 8.1 are working properly. I have no problem with 8.1 on my Lenovo Yoga Pro 2.

Yes. I don't think the software specifically states win8 but it works just fine on my laptop.

The laptop I bought is a Windows 8 (now 8.1) 64-bit. I believe it has a 64-bit processor so it requires the 64-bit version.

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.

When I purchased this unit, Windows 8.1 is the OS. Takes a bit of getting use to but works OK.

When I bought it (june 2013) it came with Windows 8. NOT the newest version Windows 8.1

It is shipped with 8, but after applying all Windows 8 updates you can download and install the 8.1 update.

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

Yes it does. The WiFi works great and the PC is easily upgraded to Windows 8.1.

It came with Windows 8. I had to install 8.1. I don't know if the RAM is upgradeable, you may find out from Asus' website.

It came with Windows 8. No Microsoft suite and a bunch of useless other junk typical of a HP.

It is possible to run Win7 on it, but you have to adjust the BIOS settings to turn off UEFI. Truthfully, 8.1 is actually pretty good. The learning curve from 7 isn't bad (I just stay on the desktop all the time) and some of the newer features are actually quite useful.
