I bought this laptop for one of my users and it is Windows 7, definitely NOT windows 8. That's why I purchased it bc Windows 7 is pretty difficult to find these days. I'm checking to see if it is Windows 7 professional or Windows 7 home premium....

The laptop comes with Windows 8.1 Standard installed. The standard edition will not let you join the laptop to an active directory domain or use the Hyper-V hypervisor to create virtual machines, among other things. I think the upgrade to Pro can be found for around $100.

That's not a question, and yes, you can have Windows 8.1. It's a free upgrade for any and all Windows 8.0 users. You just have to update the system and then use the Microsoft store app inside the machine to download and install it. Decrapifying the laptop, updating it and getting 8.1 installed will take the better part of an evening, though.

since it is a really good computer, it would be great to have a really good OS. unfortunately, it is not offered for sale (anywhere) with Windows 7 & Windows 8 is a POS. DO NOT BUY THIS h8-1430. Shop around for a computer with Win 7, & configure it the best you can.

My computer came with Windows 7 Professional as described in the advertisement. I sent a e-mail requesting Windows 7 (Pro) or I wouldn't accept it. They responded via e-mail and said this is a Windows 7 (Pro) computer. Which it was after receiving it. I suggest if you desire Windows 7 than e-mail them prior shipment and they will verify it. They are a good company to deal with and are willing to upgrade or just help out with any question.

I bought this laptop specifically because it has windows 7 and it shipped as advertised. I refuse to use windows 8.

Hi, If your PC falls within the system's requirments of Windows 7 pro, then you may have to do a clean install of this OS.Thanks, PCrush

I believe you can. I hate Windows 8 too but I don't have a Windows 7 license to have tried it.

It comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed, but you can upgrade it to Windows 8 Pro via its disc.

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.

Yes. The computer already comes licensed for Windows 8 Pro. Windows 7 Pro is preinstalled by Lenovo through Microsoft Downgrade Rights Program (basically, the same deal as most Windows 7 preloaded systems nowadays). You can use Windows 7 Pro as long as you want to. When you are ready to upgrade, simply install Windows 8 Pro from the disks provided.

It comes with Windows 8.1 Pro if you get the 512GB version. I run Photoshop on it with no problems.
