Does this come pre-installed with an Operating System such as Windows 7?

No, that is a hitch. It comes without an operating system. If you can get your hands on W7 / W8 disc then you just get an external DVD drive, install for me was a breeze.

This one does NOT come with Windows 7 or any Windows OS. If you are a student, you can get Windows 8 for 80 bucks. Use your student email or any .edu email address. The upgrade to Windows 8 Pro is 69.99 and you just have to request for a back up disc to use as an installation disk. As far as this Z-Box, I did have a hard time installing the drivers to successfully install Windows. Make sure you read up on the manual. After you get everything set up, it works like a charm. Make sure you get a cd/dvd usb drive as well. This doesn't come with DVD drive. Hope it helps, write back if you need anything.

It comes with OS pre-installed and a genuine MS Window 7 Pro installation disc. If you ask, we will install MS Office 2007 Pro as a complimentary upgrade as well.

It does NOT come with OS installed. You have to install your own OS, (Linux, Windows). I am not sure if they have a version that comes with pre-installed OS.

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

No. It has Windows 7 Pro. You would own the license to Windows 8 Pro and could install that as well, but comes loaded with Windows 7 Pro.
