i am currently using WordPerfect X4...In two weeks i am upgrading my Lenovo Laptop to a Windows SurfacePro3 Tablet/Laptop with Windows 8 OS... I therefore must upgrade to X7; will this "X7 Upgrade" product work for me?

Most definitely YES. It is a great upgrade. Anyone who is familiar with the "reveal codes" feature understands just how great this program is. Been using WordPerfect for 25 years and subscribe to every upgrade. Well worth it.

Same program, but ultimate x7 bundles quite a bit of bonus software with it...well worth the extra few bucks. BUT!!!! I would download a demo version to see if it works on your computer. Apparently X7 isn't always compatible, no matter how strong your system is. ,,, Not working on mine, but I'm hoping they will repair the problem which they told me a month ago their engineers knew about and are working on. I've enjoyed their prior versions, so obviously I was looking forward to 64 bit... ...still waiting.....and starting to guess I should have just returned it. (now that I see they're selling it for less than a third of what I paid several weeks ago. /... dunno

I believe you can only get the upgrade price if you own either of the 2 most previous versions. For X7 that would be X5 or X6.

Yeah, I got Ubuntu running on the X3 (same compy, just silver and a smaller HDD and rated 1 hour less battery life). Natively, only the sound drivers work [with the fn vol +/-/mute working] (neither the ethernet or wireless worked). I found some forum that I don't recall googling about it, and some guy suggested buying an ethernet usb hub to get the necessary packages... Waste of 44bucks. I used ubuntu backports [I am trying to find the packages to link..], restarted and it was running both wireless (with med-strong signal strength compared to win7 with strong+ at this distance) and wired. It glitched once, but a restart and update got it working fine. Without the interwebs on it, you have to download the .deb packages on another system and bring them over with a flashdrive. Screen brightness control so far only works on two settings (adjusted using FN+num key). I haven't messed with it much to get it fully working. Compiz: Fully working, all the effects I like are enabled (i.e. Animations, Cube, 3D windows, etc). I guess that is all to say, if you're a linux nerd like me - you can get it working. It just takes some research and basic know how. EDIT: Oh, and battery life on every laptop I have ever put linux on as lost battery life... I know with mad customization you can get it better. But with battery rated at 11.5hrs for mine, I run Ubuntu for around 6.5 easy (with full performance enabled)... That is just my short experience with it.

I've put Windows 7 on it, but loading drivers is a pain. Lenovo only offers the Windows 8 drivers. Some of those will work with Windows 7. Some you'll have to get from Intel's website (notably the wireless driver - Intel 7260). I still haven't found a touchpad driver.

Not enough info about Windows 8, atm. But at first glance, I want this because I want to be able to access normal Windows 7 programs. For Windows 8, it appears that the tablet form (ARM) needs a special version of the app and these won't be necessarily the same as their x86/x64 counterparts. So, yeah...I think I'll save up for the Samsung. It has pretty much everything I need.

I am using it on Windows 8 Pro. I have been using it with no problems for a week now. You could always run it in compatability mode if you need too.

My computer came with Windows 7 Professional as described in the advertisement. I sent a e-mail requesting Windows 7 (Pro) or I wouldn't accept it. They responded via e-mail and said this is a Windows 7 (Pro) computer. Which it was after receiving it. I suggest if you desire Windows 7 than e-mail them prior shipment and they will verify it. They are a good company to deal with and are willing to upgrade or just help out with any question.

Like the person above asked..I have Corel Paint Shop X2 as well and now contemplating buying a Dell laptop. It has windows7 installed on it. So, there are now two people wanting to know if this X2 will run? I do lots of graphics, imposing on photos with other objets, etc....Could we pleeeeeease get an answer from someone that may be already running PSP X2 while using windows7? Thank you, Tiger

Honestly I was disappointed to the point that I rarely use the laptop now. I use my desktop computer for everything I do on the web, and if I have time then will just uninstall Win8 and install Win7 instead. I'm hoping that it is not a hardware issue though, as it is already 3 months since I purchased mine.

This tablet runs Windows 8, 8.1 PRO also. Do not consider a RT tablet. This tablet came with windows 8 and I entered my Win * PRO key and it downloaded the additional software that comes with the PRO version and upgraded the tablet. It is now running 8.1 PRO. When Microsoft upgraded it to 8.1 PRO. It did not install the new version of it's camera app because this was branded as a Lenovo. Microsoft has a different version of downloads for non Surface tablets, those bastards. Lenovo mentioned that they were working on it. The new version of the camera softawre has the "panorama" feature. I like the tablet. This tablet runs Windows 8, 8.1 PRO also. Do not consider a RT tablet.

When I bought this laptop it was my intention to install Windows 7, but after using Windows 8 extensively I felt the change was unneeded. However, if you are more comfortable with version 7, it will work great this computer.

From what i have found it is not possible to downgrade to Windows 7 pro unless you have Windows 8 pro. You can however put windows 7 on this computer but you could void your warranty in the process depending on Lenovo and you will have to format the disk which will cause you to loose your recovery partition. So if your absolutely positive you do not want Windows 8 you can do this. I recommend installing all windows 8 updates first, after that you can go into your Intel program and update your drivers from there. Lastly update your NVIDIA driver via the website which can detect what you have. I have not had any problems since doing it this order. I do not have Windows 8.1.

Yes; I have installed it on my Surface Pro 3 that runs Win 8; no problems. The problem is with MSP 2007: you cannot run it on a Win 8 machine.

Did you try using your Win7Pro serial with the Anytime Upgrade? I don't know if it would work, but it's certainly worth a try, and I would think would leave you with a much cleaner "install" than actually installing the OS over a lower-grade version.

I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit). Now, the dock works ok at my office but when I take ultrabook home and use it without the dock I cant get wifi to connect until I uninstall the drivers. So, yes it will work (make sure you get the correct drivers from DisplayLink website 1st) but you will have issues when not using the dock..I'm debating selling mine for this reason and sticking with the connection accessories that came with the uktrabook.Great Ultrabook by the way! Shame Asus cant ensure that their docks work with the own latest and greatest! I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit).

I am running Win7 Pro 64-bit on both my laptop and my main PC and its works great with both. However, you should be able to check the Samsung website to find compatibility issues with most, if not all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Sorry I couldn't have been more specific to your concerns. Microsoft as stopped offering updates for XP, so if you get a chance, you should update to Win7. I prefer Win7 over the new Win8. Win8 seems too invasive into your private life!
