Will this work with Windows 7?

I can't definitively say yes. I installed it on windows 8 succesfully. People say it is not usable on windows 7 or 8 but I can say that is not the truth for windows 8, and logic dictates that the method for installing it on Windows 7 would be the same. It will not automatically find the drivers or even acknowledge it was plugged in. I had to go to the Device Manager see its error status, right click on it, choose update the driver and direct it to look at driver cd in my dvd rom. It proceeded to install and works well. So I cannot say yes with 100% certainty but using this method should work.

Win7 and 8 support is spotty at best. With the drivers from Netgear's website, I could only get a 2Mbps download speed. I thought the issue was the OS, so I upgraded to Win8 but had the same issue. My two other computers can download at my cap of 25Mbps. All are wireless. All are less than 20 feet from the router and in the same room with no blockage.

I don't know about Windows 7, but unlike other writers here, I sure cannot get it to work on Win8 (8.1, in my case). I first downloaded the latest drivers, ran the setup program, and inserted the USB stick when directed to. The light came on the stick, but the software said it could not find the adapter. Since some here said they used the CD successfully with device manager, I tried that. The product is listed in device manager under "Other Devices" as USB2.0 WLAN. I did the Update Driver thing, pointed towards the CD, and got the error message "Windows could not find software for your device". I am going to return it. I would not recommend that anyone using Windows 8 buy this device. I don't know about 7.

Yes, I am using Windows 7 (64-bit Professional version) with this USB adapter.

Sure will! I have read where some people have had trouble on win7 but I loaded the vista drivers and it worked. My recommendation is to purchase a USB adaptor that has vendor supplied drives just in case you are one of the ones where the vista drivers do not work. Also, I have not checked lately to see if there are any win7 drivers for the win111.

I added drivers from the drivers CD that came in the package, and successfully installed on a windows 8 machine.

What I always suggest is take a usb drive go to the netgear site and grab the latest win 7 drivers. Save to the usb and install the drivers with the usb on your unconnected computer first. This device was originally up to xp/vista. So you will need new drivers.

Works without a hitch on my Windows 8 laptop but does not detect any networks on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine I tried to use it on.

on my copy of windows 7, the adapter isn't even recognized in the device manager

I'm not entirely sure. I currently have windows 7 and it works on it. It installs the driver when you plug it up so they're shouldn't be a problem. It's really good and really cheap. I bought 2 and have one as a present. Go for it!

Yes it will work with windows 7. I currently have one connected to two windows 7 computers sharing one monitor.

Unfortunately I don't know, I only have Windows 7 (which it works flawlessly) however I would expect that it does. I do apologize for not being able to answer your question.

It should work, but not all features are available if you dont have windows 7

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

Yes it will, windows 7 is what I'm using and this printer works great for me.

Just Google "Windows Compatibility Center" ... Bookmark it! ... you can check Windows 7 compatibility for any software or hardware ...

I have used it on a 21 bit XP system and a 64 bit Windows 8 system successfully. I can' t see any reason why it would not work with Windows 7.

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

The one I got from the guy on Amazon wasnt the right one. So be wary buying this kind of stuff here. Your better off going to best buy. And yes, it will work with windows 7.

Yes, it will work with Windows 7. I really like the program. Is it worth buying the disk, I don't know. I wish there were updates for this program, but there are not. I also, know there are other programs that do more than this one and that comes at a price. Depending on your needs, you have to decide your next step. I would buy this again if I were in your situation.

Dear friend, thank you for your question. Yes, this device will work on window 7.

I have Windows 7, and it works with that. I don't know if it works with later versions of Windows.

I'm not entirely sure, I have windows 7, try and look to see if there a forum for its compatibility

If it works with Windows 7 it should also with Vista. It's an inexpensive piece of hardware; it's worth a try.

Yes. But be sure your computer has the proper Windows. It will not operate on my windows 7.
