JACK W : How easy/expensive is it to install windows 7 professional? Can you have both windows 7 and windows 8 running on one machine (similar to the Parallel product for Macs that gives you the option to run iOS or Windows)?
JACK W : Does this product come with Windows 7 professional in addition to Windows 8 professional?DANIEL T : When I bought the PC it did not. I have not had any problems with the software and I believe that 8.1 returns the start button, you probably will have a free upgrade if you buy with 8.0 at this point. It is by far the best notebook I have owned.BFHDI L : it comes with win 8 proHELLOEDDIE H : it's with win8 professional and very nice yo useTOAN N : No mine came with Win 8 then I downloaded 8.1
Shopper : does this computer have windows 7?BFHDI L : No. it comes with win8 proGARY S : No. But according to Lenovo website, you can downgrade to Win 7.TOAN N : Win 7 does not come with this. Don't take my word but I think it is possible to uninstall Win 8 and put Win 7 in instead? Also remember this does not have a disc drive so you might need to buy that.
