A:AnswerIf I recall correctly, when I was shopping for this particular laptop (Due to it being windows, having a DVD drive and nvidia 940 card) I was looking for one that didn't have windows 10 installed. I did find one of this exact model on a price tag, marked down in price, because it had windows 8 instead of the windows 10 that they are pushing so badly (However, no windows 8 laptops were left for me to buy =[ ). So yes, there were models of this laptop that I saw in store that had windows 8. On windows 7 I'm not sure, but they did have windows 8.
A:AnswerIf you are familiar with computers already then I'm sorry ahead of time........In all technicality the Hard Drive can always be replaced by an SSD because that is what the SSD is made for. To have a higher and faster performance than a HD. The only real down side to a SSD is that it has a small amount of memory compared to the HD. The only thing that I do not have information on is the size in which the SSD would have to be and if the SSD will fit where the HD in this model is. Besides all the physical possible complications the HD can be replaced with the SSD.
A:AnswerBattery life isn't too bad, it's going to be horrible if you're playing games or bottlenecking the CPU (Which isn't hard to do even though it's an i7). I get about 4-5 hours average.
A:AnswerCan't answer that and I wouldn't away. If your going to use a hard surface against a screen like this, be aware of scratches. Not good. The finger or fingers work just great.
