Two computers (one with window 7 the other window 8 with 2 monitors - one touch screen. Will this work?

Can't say for sure with the touch screen, but cannot see any reason it wouldn't. I have XP and 7 with two dell monitors and wireless keyboard and mouse. Other than the loss of hot swapping function because of the wireless, no hiccups on my end. All I can say is give it a try.

I can't say. I'm one Win7 and one XP, with one VGA and one DVI monitor. Sometimes the mouse is very choppy after switching, but it seems to resolve itself quickly. Just a short, minor nuisance. It's not perfect, but I'm not unhappy with it. Call the mfr with your question. They were helpful and knowledgeable when I called.

I don't believe so. You need an OS that works with touch screen. Upgrade to Windows 8.

Touchscreens work with anything. All it is doing is acting as a direct pointing device. Linux does not make a difference. Linux will see a "standard monitor" and you can still touch on it

The Asus monitor seems to work just like any other second monitor. What you are asking is not how I use it with Windows 7 or know how to do. I don't think it works that way with any Windows 7 setup. But in any event, how I use the second monitor is to have it work as a part of a larger, single environment. Window 7 calls it "extend". I open up the window I want in the first monitor, make sure it isn't maximized, and then drag it to the Asus monitor. Once you do that any future windows you wish to open with that application will go there. It doesn't matter where your mouse is.

Yes, I have a Lenovo x230 with touch screen attached to the Acer touch screen. Works great with windows 7

Yes. Windows 8 does not work well with a touch screen. The touch screen works great.

Yes. You'll need to transfer your data, and you can use your current monitor as a 2nd screen. This would be much faster, but it's much harder to use ... windows xp is what you use today, but this runs windows 8, which sucks. If you, or someone you know can install Windows 7, this would be great for you! If not, get a refurb running win 7

I don't use two monitors. However, anything that you can do with your regular touchpad you can do with the Logitech touch pad, in my experience.

No - so you cannot take advantage of the Windows 8 touch-screen functionalities on this laptop

I'm not certain, but I would research to make sure it will work. It took me three tries to get it right. Also expect to reinstall windows because of the new screen.

Yes. I have windows 8 on my desktop and 7 on my laptop. It works on both with no problem.

Yes. Windows 8 does not require the touch screen to function but is designed to work with one. You can just as easily use your mouse and keyboard for typical functions.

The monitor is not a touchscreen but the Windows 8.1 operating system on this computer system supports touchscreens with a modern style interface but also has a XP/Vista/7 like desktop interface. I really don't like the modern color block interface so I stick to the familiar desktop interface. I use the free software "Classic Shell" to get the Windows 7/8/8.1 Start Menu and Windows Explorer to look and/or behave more like XP.

I don't have a touch screen laptop so I am not sure how it will work. Contact the seller may give you a right anser.

No this computer is not touch screen. With Windows 8, if you have other touch screen techy stuff, you might be better of than I am. I am switching to Windows 7 ASAP because the 8 is a totally new route to learn.

Yes indeed. I am doing it right now. My older computer runs on Windows XP, but I cannot run internet on that computer any more, so I got another computer just for internet. I have two monitors, but only one keyboard and one mouse. The switch works very well, just as it is supposed to work. You can connect with me through metric pioneer if you want more details. Thanks for asking.

Yes, but you will need a usb port. I am running windows 7 with 5 monitors and no issues.
