i getting a laptop for christmas
Windows 7 more than likely. Unless they bought the laptop like six - seven years ago haha.
Good for you I'm pleased about it. Things to Do keep it on charge when you first get it, fully charge the battery. as instructions in the manual Rule No1 Don't have drinks near it Rule No2 Read the Manual and keep it with you at all times then when you have a problem you can look it up Rule No3 never leave the Battery in when using AC power for long periods it shortens the battery life if it's kept over charging
I have a few that I would recommend and they have great price tags: This laptop come with windows 7 Os eMachines eME527-2537 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) *Intel Celeron processor *Intel GMA graphics and Windows 7 Home Premium *15.6-inch HD widescreen display *Integrated 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi certified wireless *160 GB Hard Drive
It it's a laptop, it will have Win 7. If it's a netbook, it may either ship with Windows XP or Windows 7 Starter.
Acer Emachine Laptops with good processors (such as core 2 duo, i3, i5 and i7 or AMD) has Windows 7 pre-installed in it. But acer laptops with atom processors has Windows Xp pre-installed in it (hardly you can find some laptops with windows 7 which has atom processors).
