Is the upgrade to 8 free?

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.

Yes. You could install 8gb. We will charge an additional $50 for the upgrade.

I did the upgrade, which was very simple. In all honesty the process was simplified by MS and worked great. My only other comment is that the 'learning curve' for Win 8 itself was not as easy as all of the other upgrades. This new OS is so radically different, that you will in fact be forced to work at learning it.

I've gotten several free minor updates so far, and I assume that 8.1 will be just another update. Updates are not the same as upgrades, which usually are not free.

It was very easy to upgrade to 8.1, just went to Microsoft, searched for "8.1" and scrolled down to the "RT" VERSION. The process is takes about an 90 min, it is very hands off. The system will initially behave as a fresh install, but once your original account and password is entered it will behave as you had set up.

No, it will cost $199.00 to upgrade to to 11, but the upgrade to 11 includes a free upgrade to 12 when it is released.

Hello, as far as I know the updates are free for life and it did need one update when I checked but I had it up and running before I did any updates.

You don't need to upgrade at all. Win 8 pro is more for officer people. Win 8 and win 8 pro are no different for us

No Clue, I use 7 on my puters... As a caveat, i use it on a system that has win 7 preinstalled, never saw any reason to upgrade to 8, so don't know

Yes. Even if it isn't, I believe anyone who buys Pro Tools 9 brand new can upgrade to 10 for free. ENJOY!

Yes, after installing it you have to get the upgrade from Nuance available only on-line for free. It doesn't work until you do.

Hooch: For the price I paid, I did not expect it to have any software and it did not but I was given the gift by Microsoft of a free upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I personally do not like any one to load up my computer with what they believe I need as far as software is concerned, it means that I eventually need to delete it.

Unfortunately, No. I used it when I had 7, and once I downloaded 8 it gave me a notification stating "this add-on is not supported by this device"
