Hello
The system above was purchased today, for OS it states [Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (available through downgrade rights from Windows 8 Pro). The store said I would have option of either win8 or win 7(but who believes salesmen)
So, the system currently has windows 7 Pro OOB, no options to install windows 8. No CD/DVD came with it.
Acer upgrade advisor when I run it is looking for media, of which I have none.
Have checked other drives, and nothing there.
There are 4 unnamed partitions, two of them around 300mb, the others are standard recovery and troubleshooting from the looks of it. (ie, around 40mb)
I would like to put windows 8 on the system, but have been unable to figure it out myself as of yet.
Have tried bios, alt f-everything, cannot seem to find any other os or options to put windows 8 on here.
