After installing Win7 via USB and BT keyboard, will built in LAN operate w/ default drivers or are specific drivers required?

The DC3217IYE does not come with built-in Bluetooth so your BT keyboard won't work unless you install an add-on card. I installed one of the Intel dual-band wireless cards with integrated Bluetooth in mine but Windows 7 did not load the Bluetooth driver by default. You're best bet would be to download and install the updated drivers for the NUC and for any of the add-on cards direct from the respective manufacturer. I used all Intel PCIe mini cards so the drivers were easy to locate and download from Intel's website. Windows 7 installed a driver for the built-in LAN card but I recommend using the updated drivers from Intel. Also note that you'll need to update the BIOS if you want to install more than 4GBs of RAM.

Don't remember if there was a small driver CD included. Doesn't matter for standard Windows OS, as it will find the driver autmatically on board or over the web. No idea if it will work on the device you listed. Sorry

Mine didn't either. assume faulty hardware because driver install wouldn't matter if windows can't even find a device to install a driver for. threw it away and the bought a bluetooth 4.0 name brand for $10 which required no drivers. plug and play.

I have the same question - I've tried two different wireless keyboards via USB dongle but both trigger the "USB device not supported" error - tried Logitech & HP.

Should be just plug and play. Just plug into usb port and I know it works with Windows 7.

I haven't used it in a while but keep it as a back up...but if i recall correctly there is no software support for vista and win7 but the drivers still work with win 7...I could connect in regular cisco mode or win wireless zero config....the user may need to be a bit knowledgeable about win 7 to make it work...or if it does work you can try finding installation drivers for the Ralink RT2571F chipset and only install those drivers and use win wireless config

This unit should work with its own dongle and its embedded drivers. Be advised though that Windows 8 does not play well with any bluetooth device unless it is bluetooth 4.0+ albion1946

If it works with Windows Vista, you should be able to use Compatibility Mode to install the drivers on Win7.You may need to edit the driver's .inf file; if necessary you can contact me for more details. It should work fine though.~ Benjamin

It doesn't require any drivers, or at least any that you personally have to install or download. It connects via Bluetooth and you just need to have Windows search for Bluetooth devices. It was a piece of cake.

It doesn't require any drivers. Just plug it into a USB port and it works. On the other hand, I didn't like the build quality so I returned it. I got a "daskeyboard" instead and I'm very happy with it.

In short yes, but Windows 7 doesn't include the driver out of the box. You will need to install the driver before you will be able to use the device. Use the included CD to install the driver, or you can download it from the manufacturer's website here: http://www.medialinkproducts.com/wirelessUSBAdapter.php.

Yes and no. The wireless feature will work fine. However, you will need a wired connection after installing it (usually) in order to let Windows install the latest drivers. It can be a bit of a pain to get it to working at first, but that's it. The Bluetooth function is another story all together. You must have a Bluetooth function in your BIOS, IOT( in order to) turn it on. Hope that helps! Good luck!

I plugged it into my windows 7 machine and the drivers installed automatically. It worked fine on the first try.

I have two of them running on Windows 8. Plug and play. No need to download drivers.

It does not require drivers... Just plug it in,boot w8.1, and make sure to ENABLE the drive (google it. It is important)

As far as I know no driver is needed, mine was plug and play. If it does need one Windows will find it when you plug it in.
