can a window 7 be upgraded to this product

Yes, I upgraded to windows 7 a long time ago and it worked very well. I would definitely mention though and the laptop comes with a G router wifi card, so if you have an N router, then you will want to either upgrade the wifi card inside or consider a more updated laptop. Mine started running a bit hot and stressed when I attached the N router via USB, but then I also had many other things running all the time and only used the USB, not a new N wifi card.

All your answers can be found in the specs on this model I believe. I wanted the Windows 7 because of the ease in using this platform. However, if you look deeper into different venders offering this product you might find one with the Windows 8. As for an upgrade to that I believe you could. Contact microsoft for that answer.

Yes you can install any application that currently installs to win7. The interface is the exact same.

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

That means the product ships with Win 7 however is eligible for upgrade to Win 8.

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.

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

You should be able to upgrade that system. First you need to use windows vista upgrade advisor go to this address.http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=31870

You should be able to connect this drive and then redirect your download to this drive. You should be able to do this through the W7 download page or you could redirect your default download location through your browser. The bigger question to you will be whether you have enough room on your primary drive to do the upgrade. Another option would be to move most of your personal files from your original drive to this external drive freeing up space on your primary drive to download and upgrade Windows. Depends on what you want. Personally, I would at least use the external drive as a backup/copy for your personal files in case your upgrade goes badly.

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.

NO. Win7 does not uttilize the necessary bytes. To install. Upgrading to 8 is the only was to ensure correct I stallation.

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

I don't believe so. I got this with windows 8, and best buy stated that microsoft is trying to phase out windows 7, but im sure if you know someone whos good with computers, theres a way to remove windows 8 and get windows 7. but buying off the rack i do not believe so.

You may want to contact mfg (they were very helpful over the phone- small company) to see if there is a downgrade option. When we purchased our unit, we were able to get Win 7 but having worked in the industry Microsoft usually "forces" OEM vendors to their latest version of software.

I no longer have that computer so I don't know if it will run window 7, and have no other information on this product currently.This was compatible with Windows XP.

Windows 7 is installed. There's $14.95 deal for a do it yourself upgrade to 8, but if you've never done a similar thing before it can be a challenge.
