Did it come with Windows 8 or 7? Reading that several are coming with 8 when advertised with 7.

Ironic that you ask, we ordered 3 computers, put two into service immediately both had Windows 7, the third we put into service a few days ago and it had Windows 8, which we did not want, had to reinstall with Windows 7....pain

Yes. We ordered it with Windows 7. We've found these units elsewhere on the web. I believe the Lenovo site also has them as Windows 7.

You will have Win 7 at initial launch. The unit comes with Win 8 discs to add if you want. I can't speak to the Win 8 option because I'm not using it.

Actually this comes with both! It's the only computer I found like that. Windows 7 is preloaded, and then there is a disc included if you prefer Windows 8. I actually like this model very much. It is very durable and easy to access internal parts with a service door. My only negative comment is that it is a tad slow for my personal liking. But I am biased because I am a multitasker. Most people would enjoy it just fine.

When I bought it, it came with Windows 7 installed and had a free upgrade to Windows 8.Although a lot of the installed software is incomparable with 8. Also the built in camera worked after the upgrade then it broke.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed, and 2 "restore" CDs for Windows 8, or at least that's what they are labeled. Honestly, I like Windows 7 so well that I'm not worried about pursuing Windows 8, especially since this model doesn't have a touchscreen.

It comes with Windows 7 64-bit. I would never buy a computer with Windows 8!

It is shipped with 8, but after applying all Windows 8 updates you can download and install the 8.1 update.

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.

Mine came with 8, with a free upgrade. The current batch may well ship with 8.1 since it is now out.

No it came with Windows 8, I then bought a copy of windows 7 a few weeks later due to problems and hassle of windows 8

Because amazon reused the heading form when this computer DID come with 7. Not that everything is 8 or 8.1. They had to change the tech specs.... windows 8 is an ok system. But 8.1 is more user friendly.

Mine came with 64-bit Win 7, not sure if they all have 64-bit installed. Was in description that laptop came with Win 7 64-bit
