Of course! All windows 8 computers are eligible for the free 8.1 upgrade... I have 8.1 on my ME400c now

HiReally depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation.If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine.The install took 15gb of my hard disk

No but you can buy the older models with windows 7. But, why would you not want windows 8?

no, you can only upgrade, not downgrade. I thought windows 8 would suck, but after a few minutes with it, it was very intuitive. I have over 280 games on steam and every one of them is compatible with windows 8.

I only know 1 person who has Win 8 but I will ask. I feel that if you need to run it as "Administrator" in Ultimate 7 you could do the same in 8. For the price it's worth a try.

When I purchased, it came loaded with windows 7 with disks to upgrade to 8 if I wanted to.

Absolutely. One of the easiest to "Upgrade, by downgrading." All drivers are simple to locate.

You don't need to upgrade at all. Win 8 pro is more for officer people. Win 8 and win 8 pro are no different for us

My laptop came with both Windows 7 and Windows 8; the user chooses which OS to install at the first boot. I don't think the memory is configurable from the seller, but it's easily upgraded if you purchase separately.

Go to download@Cnet.com search for Windows start menu and it will convert windows 8 to windows 7 format

Windows 7 Pro came pre-installed with upgrade disks for windows 8. The original 'load' was very basic with not many add-ons(nice).

No. When I looked into upgrading to windows 8 that was one of the programs it listed as being non-compatible

Actually is i dont know or try to do that, but windows 8 is just like windows 7 with different "start menu" design . And most of apps are now copatible with w8Also it can be install win 7 because the system requirment is enough for that.
