Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed. No discs. So I attempted to make my own Windows Recovery discs, and discovered the optical drive would read and write to CD, but DVD was read-only. Contacted seller who is mailing me a replacement optical drive.

It comes with Ubuntu, NOT Windows 7. The "L" at the end of the product number indicates it is a Linux product - or so I was told by the folks at Asus when I spoke with them. At that time (early August) they did not make a Windows 7 version in this machine.

It comes with Windows 8 but coming soon this Summer Windows 10 is about to launch and you can get the free download from microsoft when available. If you want Windows 7 installed you might want to try directly from Dell website so that they can custom build it for you.

You will have Win 7 at initial launch. The unit comes with Win 8 discs to add if you want. I can't speak to the Win 8 option because I'm not using it.

It comes with windows 7 preinstalled. If you want 8 you have to recover into 8.

No. The pc came with windows 7 pro, 64 bit but it did not have any other software installed. The only problem I've had with the computer was having to replace the hard drive when it failed but that was 2 yrs after I bought it. I have to say it is the best pc I have ever had. You just can't beat the price.

Pretty sure shipped unit will come with windows 7 unless the seller installed windows 8 themselves onto the machine for you.

No. It comes with Windows 8.0 installed. You can download the upgrade to 8.1 from the Windows store.

Hi the computer comes with windows 8. I had to change it to win 7 due to incompatibility with some software at the office so I can't tell you right now which version it came with. It doesn't include office.

No. It has Windows 7 Pro. You would own the license to Windows 8 Pro and could install that as well, but comes loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

It comes with Window 7 Pro (64 bits) pre-installed and activated along with some other programs.It would be pretty much ready to use right out of the box.

Yes. It has Windows 7 on it. It works just like any other computer, it's just in a little package. It does not have a slot for a DVD.

It's preloaded with Windows 7 and comes with the restore disks for both Win 7 and 8. Hope this helps!
