Besides Windows 7 is there any other pre-loaded software or software trials?

There are a few. Some are necessary anyway. This is not one of those computers that come with a ton of junk software.

Word starter and Excel starter. It's not the trial version. You need to purchase Office 2010 to have all the options activated in these soft-wares.

There was a bunch of crap I had to remove - so yes. Didn't take long though.

Sounds like you've already gotten the right answer and have ordered this model. Just to reassure you, I have had this Zenbook for about 6 months (I am a diligent review reader before making a purchase) and have been extremely happy with it. It is very light, sleek, and quick. The battery is respectable and I appreciate that it stays cooler than any laptop I've ever had, which makes laptop use possible without the need for leg protection. I, too, wanted to stick with Win7. I think you will like it.

Hi Diane. Nothing else preloaded when it arrived. I have thoroughly enjoyed this laptop. I was a bit skeptical before it arrived. I give it 5 stars!

We did not get that far. We just got rid off the bunch of errors in drivers then boom, it failed to start!

It comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-loaded and Windows 8 Pro 64-bit recovery media

No it comes pre-loaded with none of that. You can sign up for a free trial otherwise you have to buy it separately, like most Windows computers nowadays.

My concern was to get Windows 7, 64 bit. As far as the rest, I don't really know, but I have downloaded for free anything I have wanted to add.

I found a better alternative. You can get a Windows 7 interface, including the full Start button, with an easy free download from classicshell.net. This avoids the expense and troubles associated with changing operating systems and preserves the speed and power of Windows 8. There are about 4 million downloads of this software, so it is pretty popular. There are other softwares that do the same thing, but that is the one I used.

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

came with window 7 pro pre-installed, and with a windows 8 disk - I assume there's a downgrade license from window 8 to windows 7 - not sure otherwise

It comes pre-loaded with Windows 7. Included in the package are Windows 8 discs, so that if you want to install Windows 8, you have the option.

I installed it on a a windows 7 machine after downloading the right software.

Not that I know of. I returned it because it wasn't compatible with Windows 7.

There shouldn't be any issues if you want to roll it back to Win 7, but this particular computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed.

Mine came with a free 30 day trial of Microsoft Office, McAfee Antivirus Trial, and Windows 7 Home Premium. That's about it.

Yes. Although I have never used it, it is one of the preloaded programs and has a set-up window.

It is already being shipped with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preloaded. Nothing else needs to be done on your end.

No, all software is pre-loaded. Happy with mine. Using Windows8 without touchscreen capability.
