Too bad :( You might want to try some of the utilities that can retrieve files. I used EaseUS free program to recover lost pics off of a hard drive and it worked.

I am almost positive that you can. I have not fully downloaded to Windows 8.1.

This is a floppy drive for 1.44MB floppy disks. If that's what kind of disks you have, then yes. If they're CDs, then no. Floppy disks haven't been common for more than 10 years, so it would be good to know what kind you have.

I was able to save all pics and some of my desktop items. But your best to move everything to a flash stick, or a disk of some sort just to be safe.

No, if your computer has a USB port.. But if you want to save the photos you may have problems with the software.

I was not able to up grade mind, I think it was a 10 year old lap top. The picture size would not fill out to full screen size. The old lap top would not allow a new or XP driver to allow this part of installation. I spent $95 for upgrade another $20 for memory and the Tech. had to put Windows XP back in so that my laptop would work. I could have went to Dell and for another $175 bought a new lap top with Windows 8 or 7 already installed, do the math.

Probably. I installed an external hard drive via USB, so an external floppy drive should work. I assume it comes with software.

I would think so. My disks and the files on them were from old Windows version laptop and desktop computer. I transferred Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files and some images that were most likely JPeg. Everything opened just fine on my current laptop that I plugged this little drive into. But please note that this is a floppy disk (hard square things) drive and not a CD/ROM drive. If your disks are from the photo developer they are most likely CDs. This won't work for DVDs or CDs (shiny round disks).

From the information I read regarding your HP computer it should work fine. However, you might need to update your existing software, or you can use the Nero software included with the drive. Thanks, Mike

I would think so, I have used the CD writtable to save pictures from my computer before

When I found myself with a floppy I needed to transfer, I did a search on "transfer files from 3.5" floppy to windows 7". Try that with Windows 8. If something on Amazon doesn't come up automatically, once you have a product name, search for it on Amazon. They've never failed me yet. Good luck!

No to everything. It only works with Windows XP, nothing after that. Plus all old floppys are all numbered the same way. So you have to rename the files on every one. The only thing you can do on windows XP only is look at the pictures.

Yes you can see them and download them if you choose. I used this on a long vacation downloaded about 7,000 photos, it worked perfectly.

It should work. I added all the files to it on a Windows 7 pc and my brother in law used it on his Windows 8 laptop.

If it has a USB connection there should be no issue. I have a 500 GB connected and have no issues. I ordered my HP split in June and have been happy with it so far.
