Can you upgrade it to windows 8.1?

Yes you can and you should. Both of the the ones I bought did not work well in 7 but work great in 8.1.

Yes you should be able to upgrade it - but our business apps require us to have Windows 7 pro. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Win8+. I'd suggest doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install to keep your drivers, but suggest you go to Samsung's website if any drivers don't carry over.

Yes - if you purchased it with Window 8 - the upgrade to 8.1 is free. You'll see it in your Updates when it's available to upgrade.

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

Yes. All owners of Windows 8 will have the ability to upgrade to 8.1 as a service pack through Windows Update.

Not if you intend to use Windows 8. If you intend to use 8 or 8.1, this machine is now pre-loaded with 8. Upgrade to 8.1 is free and only takes a couple hours on a normal internet connection. If you intend to use Windows 7 however, you will have to purchase it separately and do a trick or two to install properly.

Windows 8, and you'll want to do the free upgrade to 8.1 through the Windows store.

After you receive the computer, install all Windows updates -- then after that is completed, you can open the Windows Store (green icon) and you'll see "Upgrade to Windows 8.1" right on the main screen. This won't show up until you install all Windows 8.0 updates.

Mine was windows 8. Upgrade to 8.1 was free and easy. Most articles I've read say the upgrade to Windows 10 (looks like Microsoft is skipping 9.0) will be free as well.

I'm sure it is possible. I just put windows 8.1 on mine a few days ago. Keep in mind you will need to buy windows 7.

yes and it comes with Windows 8 Cd's so you could upgrade. But a friend of mine told me Windows 8 isn't doing well right now, so don't use the cd yet. Until they fix their issues

The short answer is yes. You could upgrade to windows 8 Pro, and then use windows to downgrade, or you can reformat your hard drive and install from disk. The real question is why would you do it? The downgrade option is more for businesses that are not able to upgrade at the same time. Remember when windows 7 came out and people wanted to rush back to Vista, and Vista to XP, and XP to 95. I don't think that anyone tried to get back to 3.1.
