Yes, it is "PC Ready" so it will work with any version of Windows that is still supported by Microsoft.

Yes, I have Windows 7 and the drive is readable. However, you will need to reformat this drive (recommended anyway if only to remove the encryption software that builds in a potential way to lose all your data). If you don't, Windows Backup & Restore won't run. I also had issues using the included software to perform backups.After the reformat, everything's backing up fine. So with a bit of finagling, you should be able to use this with Windows 7.

it does work with windows 7. i would assume it would work with the 'new' windows 8.

I'm not 100% certain. I've only used it with a Macbook Pro and an HP Laptop with windows 8. It did work fine with both of those, so I would assume that it would work with windows 7.

I have it working with Windows XP and Windows 8.1, so it is a safe bet that it works with Windows 7.Regards.

I had it working with Windows 7, then it would not work. Had a lot of conflicts so I am not using it now.

I don't know, but I never could get it to work with Windows 7. I did have it working on a Vista machine, though. I should mention I tried three different Windows 7 machines (HPs and Dells) with no luck. On Vista, it rocked.

It should work with Windows 7, I bought this for my pc and I am using Windows 8. Does everything I expected and not glitches so far.

Yes. It works just fine with Windows 7, no drivers required. Just plug it in.

I have a computer running windows seven. It worked well for me for a few months, then it stopped. Not very happy with it.

Yes, it works with Windows 7. But I had to call support to help me get the correct drivers. The one's on the CD did not work. But after doing that, it works well.

It works with Windows 7, whether it works with your particular computer depends on what hardware you have.

I don't know. I only have win 7. It is a plug and use so I think it would work.

I purchased it to use with Windows 7. It worked at initial set up and not after. Perhaps it was set up for Windows 8.
