Is this the CD? I have multiple laptops to put windows 8 on.

Yes this comes with a dvd in 32 and 64 also with a free upgrade to windows 8.1

I would think you should be able to install Windows 7 Home Premium, especially if you wipe out Win 8 first. You may have to change it so the computer looks to the CD/DVD drive on boot up.

Yes. I don't think the software specifically states win8 but it works just fine on my laptop.

Mine had windows 7 installed but it comes with the Disc to install Windows 8.1. You can install either system, but can't install them as a dual boot system. Either one or the other.

That I do not know...I loaded Windows 7 on it and have never used Windows 8

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

Yes it is! My computer has Windows 7. Just make sure you have a cd-rom player on your laptop or else you cannot install it.

Not sure they say it is,I could not get it to work.The installation showed successful,but would not let me copy a CD that I burned,wanted me to upgrade at a additional cost.Called in for tech support and they wanted $1.29 a minute to talk to them. I have Windows 7 and they showed that version was supported.I tried numerous times and still would not work,and I was not going to pay the $1.29 a minute to talk with tech support. I returned to Amazon and am looking for another product. I,am thankful Amazon has a great return policy on goods they sell.

Yes, it is. I was leery about buying it with my Windows 8 computer but it works just fine.

It is called a downgrade license. When the time comes and you want to install Windows 8, you don't have to purchase it as you already own it. If you want Windows 7 recovery disks, you will need to make them using Lenovo's software for creating them.

I don't remember if the disc came with it or not, it's been a while, sorry. If it came with, then I used it. I have Windows 7, so don't know about 8.

You have to purchase windows 8.1 which will cost you about $130 now if you already have the windows disc but it came with another computer then is not legal. Other than that it is usually compatible.

When I purchased, it came loaded with windows 7 with disks to upgrade to 8 if I wanted to.

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

I do not have windows 8. This I will say, all previous OS'S with a usb connection will recognize the drive. The floppy disc contents will open if the file association to a program is installed on your computer.

When I received mine, it was Windows 7 Pro with Windows 8 Pro discs (for upgrade).

Not sure for windows 8.1 you can always install all of them. It wont hurt the computer and it will only end up using the one it needs.
