So this is a good replacement for the Asus K55N-DS81, I have windows 8.1 on it and I just cracked it

It doesn't matter if you have windows 7 or 8 it just matters what model computer and maker you have like I had asus k55a

It's a decent budget laptop, I upgraded mine with 8GB RAM and an SSD, running Windows 7 Ultimate. If it's just a cracked screen you can order one off eBay and replace it yourself, I had to replace mine and it was only about $40 IIRC.

My ASUS is a K55A, but I imagine the screens are the same size. Eacg screen usually lists the models it is designed for. AS I said in my review it works perfectly - you just need to set up a work space where you drop the little screws and still find them again. Taking off the screen surround is easy, just remove the two small square rubber plugs from the bottom left and right of the screen and prize off the surround. Then you use a very small screwdriver (like those for your glasses) to remove the three screws at each side of the screen - then the screen simply lifts out of the lid. There is a good video on you tube that takes you through he whole process. My ASUS is a K55A, but I imagine the screens are the same size. Eacg screen usually lists the models it is designed for.

yes, it is but after i crashed my windows and after a fresh install, the key chipped in the board is not registering my windows 8 because this laptop didn't come with windows 8 media.

Yes, I have Windows 8.1 and just installed it. Works great and easy to install.

I didn't use it with Windows 8.1; it was just before. The biggest issue I got into it was that it is quite tall and easily toppled over with any kind of touch. Once toppled it seemed to crack at the base quite easily. I bought a second one and had the same experience.

This was bought for a friend that has a laptop with windows 8.1 on it. The laptop does not have a touch screen. It works fine.

Definitely! I already updated from windows 8 to 8.1 and it only took a few minutes to install.

The one I received is a Windows 7 - I am very happy with my purchase, I had an issue with it not charging and of course I had to go through ASUS, which worked out fine they fixed the problem very quickly.

The system I built with this motherboard runs Windows 8.1 nicely. I would expect earlier versions of Windows 8 to run as well.

Don't know, purchase was made almost one year ago. However, I did not like the 8.1 operating system and had windows 7 installed. Working well.

mine did not and believe that you have to go to a different model. BTW, had to send mine in for service and was pleased with the repair and quick turnaround time. Win 8.1 not so sure of.

I contacted Microsoft and asked them what keyboard to get for 8.1 and they recommended this one.

Sorry. I'm no longer using it and I don't remember if I had windows 8.1 on previous laptop.

I use it with an ASUS UX31A with both Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 and it works flawlessly.

It works on my desktop that runs Windows 8 (but I haven't downloaded the 8.1 service pack yet)

Yes on my K55N DS81. Open the memory cover on your machine, and check the label on YOUR memory. Manufactures use a confusing array of different parts.

The battery does come out and provided you find one, you should be able to replace it. I don't have Windows 8 so that I can't comment on that, but it would appear that it would be compatible.
