what does the No Operating System mean with the 2010 version. I'm not computer literate and I'm trying to purchase something that will help out my friend on his sermons?

I don't know what they're getting at with that description. The product requires Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. I'm not certain if it's compatible with Windows 8.1 yet or not. This is NOT MAC/Apple compatible. That version is clearly labeled as such.

Any novice computer hobby aquaintance of yours can help, whether at your church or among family and friends. On the Internet, type in "DELL support downloads" to access their very helpful site. Note, however, that DELL has proprietary features in its Windows Operating System and you will have much better results using a DELL specifit Windows XP or VISTA or whatever disc to install your operating system. Be sure to use the original factory disc, a copy of the O/S will not allow you to download updates to your operating system. best wishes

"os" usually refers to operating system in a computer. I don't see where it comes from in this question.

I havent seen a revo that comes without an operating system. But you can always put whatever you want on it just like a regular pc. or you can look at barebone htpc's

I have had no issues just using Word and internet. It's ran smoothly. It's just hard to get use to the new operating system.

My Main Suggestion Would Be To Obtain A Computer Without Windows 8 Try An OS Like Windows XP Or XP Pro As long As it Has SP3 (Which ,If Necessary You Can Download SP3 From Microsoft's Wen Site)

HP won't sell it without an operating system. Linux doesn't require a brand new PC. Take an older one and install Linux. I put Ubuntu in some older PCs - works very well.

It comes with a download for 2013. You will have to delete 2010 before downloading 2013. I can't stand Windows 8 but I guess I am stuck with it. I should have purchased a Mac.

You should be able to install any OS - I used Fedora, but I don't know of any reason you couldn't load Win7. I know nothing about using Win7 as a server.

I went back to the set up instructions and don't see any reference to operating system. It requires an USB port which I assume the MAC also has.

I don't think so, mate. Says Windows 8 OS or something like that. P.S. If you have not checked out Windows 8, be sure to do so. I wish I had because I hate it. This purchase was the biggest mistake I've made in a long time.

As I read it, after I got it is NO. It will not update anything unless, you completely format your hard drive, since it is for new computers, and not an upgrade. That is what I wanted and when I got this I couldn't even understand what I was supposed to do. You have to buy another program to get ready to install this one. So my answer would be no upgrade for any operating system. I wanted it for XP, but have a Vista too, NADA, as I read it. I sent it back and Amazon is amazing in handling returns. Thanks Amazon.............

I don't know. I am just a very average user who had to update because Windows was no longer supporting XP

I chickened out and cancelled this order. I was jazzed but decided to wait awhile. The new tutorial books only have Vista, so it's chancy with older XP. How long before XP is landfill.

don't know. go to their website and look for yourself. They have a listing of all supported OS platforms and deceives.
