The Alienware Steam Machine is pre-loaded with Valve’s SteamOS. It will support a Windows operating system but you would be at your own risk to install it over what comes factory shipped. The Alienware Alpha is different in the sense that it comes pre-loaded with a Windows 10 operating system from factory.

Thanks for the info! My biggest issue is I do not want Windows 10. I'd rather have 8.1 oddly enough lol. Thanks for the update.
