Can I get it with Windows 7 as 8 sucks.

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.

I have no idea. I got this one because it had Windows 7 and I did not want 8!

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

Well, Watch out because even if you have an asus laptop this product is useless for Windows 8 or 8.1. I did call the support number and they confirmed that it wasn't happening and that Windows 8/8.1 blows. They suggested I downgrade to Windows 7. If I do downgrade to 7 it won't be to get this $15 part to work- it will be to stop the nightmarish experience of Windows 8. The number for support is 1-812-282-2787. And yes (I'm looking at you smug sophisticated tech geeks) I should've known better, but I didn't and I hope this saves someone else a little trouble and $14.99. Dang that was a disappointing waste of time. Good luck. Well, Watch out because even if you have an asus laptop this product is useless for Windows 8 or 8.1.

I've been using mine with Windows 7 with no problems it really isn't specific to your OS.. so I would say it would work with 8

Sorry I am using Windows 7 and it works great. Isn't 8 like 7 can't you run it in different modes like Win 7 or XP mode? If so try that

I have version 4 on Windows 7. Not sure if they have made one that requires version 8.

I don't know as I use Windows 7 with it. Runs great and would think it fine with Windows 8.

I am hoping someone will answer this question as "Windows 8" is the worst OS I have encounter and will not purchase another laptop without the option to revert to 7.

I do not know about 7 or 8. I have windows XP and it works and is compatable with XP

Supposedly, anything that is compatible with 7 should run on 8. I've not tried it with 8.
