Ia m trying now. Yes you can install win7 on it but unfortunately Toshiba does not provide the drivers in win7 at their website so it will be problematic to install the drivers for the hardware. I can't find the driver for the "SM bus controller" in Win7 so far....:(

I haven't tried, honestly. I don't even have Windows 7 on my Desktop (for now, it's on the way) it might.

I would like to know the answer to that myself. Do not like windows 8 at all.

I have not a chance to try it with Windows 7. However, it works for Windows XP

I don't know. My problem with the drive was the format function would fail to ever complete.

I'm a Mac user not Windows. However, I believe it does not matter what system you are running as long as it's formatted correctly.

It is compatible with all windows versions. It works better when you format it to NTFS instead of FAT. Hope you have a USB 3 port so you can take advantage of its full speed.

Can't help with any specific advice as I am using my drive with a Mac, but I can't see why there would be a problem. If you received a drive pre-formatted for a Macintosh, then doubtless, you need to use a Windows program to reformat it. Good Luck!

Yes, - it has to be reformatted. It's easy - my non-tech sister just did it.

It is formatted in a different format, and the rest of your system has to support that, as does your operating system. So the answer is if your computer is relatively new, probably.If it's old, or your operating system isn't at least 7, forget it.

Yes you have to reformat, it comes formatted for Windows, but it works on the Mac fine.

It's not an option with this version. You have to wipe the hard drive and install Windows 7 from scratch. So try and save your data off another drive or usb device.

Yes but it has to be formatted. It won't work with data from both windows and Mac

So long as the computer can recognize the drive, you should be able to format it. If the drive is dead even this device won't help you.

If it didn't accept a size that was bigger that would mean that it came formatted to FAT32, and it would need to be formatted to NTFS, the only downside of NTFS being that if you pull it out without safely removing, there is a bigger chance of corruption. To reformat it to NTFS just look up some guide on google.

Doubtful... it didn't work with Windows 7 without major changes to the system configuration...

I am still in the past with Windows 7 and cannot answer your question. fyi, it acts as an add on to Office (also acts separately) so that would be important to check.

You would have to fresh install it your self.It does not come with Windows 7. Only Windows 8.
