Yes it will run on both. I previously ran QB Pro 2014 on Windows 7 home Premium 64 bit. Then I started running it on windows 8.1 64bit, so yes it is compatible with both operating systems.

Windows 8. SOMETIMES you can get the seller to give you a disk for 7. I am using Linux Mint. Way better than Windows and free but I have 7for dual boot just in case.

win 8 not pro and does upgrade to 8.1 free. You have to do updates to win 8 before it can do the upgrade to 8.1

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.

Correct this runs Windows 8 pro, allowing you to run any program an ordinary pc running Windows 7 or 8 can run

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

Mine came with Windows 7 professional installed and with recovery disks for Windows 8 should you want to upgrade.

The units I got came loaded with Windows 7 Professional. They technically have a Windows 8 Professional license, but are running Windows 7 through the downgrade rights which are included with the Windows 8 Professional license. They ship with Windows 8 recovery disks, so if you want to Windows 7 recovery disks be sure to use the built in tool to create those before you actually need them.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit beta version. It is so much nicer that Vista. I upgraded originally from XP Pro to Vista Business. Am I eligible for the upgrade for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit? (since my vista business is an upgrade) and i don't want to re do my computer again. I just put the beta version on, will there be a way to just put in the cd key? Thanks

You'll need to buy Windows 8 professional if you want to have a downgrade license, you /cannot/ downgrade this out of the box. You can buy this with Windows 7, but not from this vendor, check in the 'x new and used from x dollars' section, look through the details. You'd also need to buy or have a copy of Windows 7. The windows 8 pro upgrade is $25 through Amazon. I'm not a Windows 8 afficionado, as a matter of fact I almost didn't get this computer even though it was on sale for only $700, simply because it had Windows 8. However, after using it, and changing it to boot to desktop instead of the 'Metro' menu, I have to say I almost prefer it to Windows 7, because of the improved explorer (pause file transfers, individual file comparison with all meta data, etc.) and task manager (... no words really, it's just much better in every way) plus the fact that this is the first and only version of Windows I've been able to run all my software on (Roller coaster Tycoon, Crysis 2 and [prototype], and huge amounts of benchmarking, video editing, and virtual machine software). I have never had all that software successfully running on the same box, even with VMs and compatibility fixes. So try it, and if you don't like it, downgrade.

Hi JD, Yes! This product (purchased through our company) will upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro. We can't speak for other sellers. Thanks!

I am running it on Windows 7, so I would think it would run on Windows 8. But I can't give a definitive answer.

Don't know. Pro 2013 works on 7.0. Definitely a question for the sales guys. Don't get premium if you don't need it.

Only if you have Windows 8 Pro. Otherwise, you will have to buy a new copy of Windows 7, uninstall 8, and install 7. I have no use for Windows 8, but by clicking the desktop on the Windows 8 start up screen, you will return to pretty much a Windows 7 use computer. I just do that and it is fine now. And Windows 8 is still there if I need any part of it.

I installed Microsoft works suite 2006 on a desktop with win 7 and laptop with win 8 with upgrade to win 8.1.Both worked fine and gave me back the old version om Microsoft Word. Some items I deleted after install.

Mine came with Win 7 professional installed and with four Win 8 disks included in the package. Win 8.1 will be fine for you, but I'm not sure about the Win 7 license that comes preinstalled.

I run mine on my laptop but did not buy a special version. I have Windows 7 but found that it works better on a previous version.For most things I run my laptop as a pc.
