Does this adapter work with a Windows 7 64-Bit computer? I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5512 and just discovered it does not have built in bluetooth

I just purchased the exact adapter and it worked fine. The only difference is My computer runs window 8. I would call Toshiba and ask if it is compatible with window 7. good luck.

Yes it works with my Toshiba Satellite L6550-S5050 and my computer has the samething. I looked it up on the Toshiba web site before buying it and it was the same product but was cheaper on Amazon. I would look at the Toshiba site to see if the product is the same. Hope this helps you.

This device is primarily plug and play. It really depends on the computer you use it in. As long as there are no restrictions on the use of Bluetooth with your device, you should have no problems obtaining the drivers automatically. My initial problem was understanding how Bluetooth worked with my computer and not with the device itself. My computer has no internal Bluetooth capability and that is why this device works well. It allows your computer to address the adapter as it would any device it manages, including the option to update drivers if it is called for.

I use the device daily with a Windows 7 64 bit machine. Then I also sometimes connect my Windows 8.1 machine to it. Works fine either way. Dave

I couldn't get them to work with either of my 64-bit desktops (Windows and Ubuntu). They were recognized as bluetooth adapters but I couldn't get them to connect with any of my bluetooth devices.

Yes, for what ever reason secondary market Bluetooth Dongles don't want to work with Toshiba products. I broke down and purchased this same unit for my Toshiba Satellite and it has worked great for all hardware and wireless transfers.

Yes, however, the software was not compatible with Windows 7, 64-bit edition, at least, on my computer. I was never able to get this adapter to work.

I am not sure. I have it plugged into the back of my WIN7 64 and it works. I have to USB 2.0 plugins in the front of the PC but I don't use them for this device or application.

I agree with RobertAtThebeach - I have used the bluetooth to connect to my win 8.1 ultrabook running MS Streets and Trips 2014. It is usable but quite often the connection is dropped - then MS S&T; gets confused - then connection re-establishes and things return to normal the whole process is usually 10-15 seconds then a few minuets later it happens again. . I gave up on the bluetooth connection and just wired it directly to the PC and the connection is very steady.

I'm not positive that I understand the question. You put the Bluetooth USB adapter into a computer's USB slot. The adapter allows the computer to recognize any Bluetooth devices that are in range. As long as the headset or speakers are using the proper Bluetooth protocol, the computer will be capable of recognizing and using them appropriately. I hope that this answers what you wanted to know.

A friend of mine used this adapter with another computer (not Lenovo) and it works. Just remember that there isn't sound.

So this is compatible with laptops that have integrated bluetooth without the need of the little usb adapter included?

The adapter works fine with my Toshiba Satellite laptop. I have had it for several months and have not experienced any problems at all. I have no problem recommending it.

I have Windows 7 32-bit, and I can confirm that it works, but not out of the box. You need to download the drivers from IOGear first. I couldn't pair with my Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with the stock drivers, but after installing the drivers from IOGear I could pair and use the device without problems.

Absolutely - this device adds Bluetooth to a PC that lacks that capability. In most cases you will need to use the included drivers disk to install the adapter. That's my only criticism...not 100% plug n play.

I don't know, my Toshiba is a satellite c650d, but it works great. The price is reasonable so is try it, just my opinion

I am using it on a Toshiba Satellite C55DA right now. I had to buy a lot of adapters since Toshiba put every port on the sides of the laptop. Especially on the right hand side.
