My new laptop has windows 8, but no cd insert. Can I download the software from a website, or how would I set up this on my laptop without cd insert?

Yes. The instruction manual provides a URL to download the software. My Macbook Air doesn't have a cd either.

The laptop I had with Bear Extender was stolen. I still have the device, but the install disk was lost in the laptop. I emailed the Bear Extender people and they sent me a link right away to do the install on my new laptop. They were great.

I can't tell you about that. But I can tell you this I gave my bearexstender away. Because I thought it was junk.

I went to the following web site to download Win8 drivers and software... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc;=en&dlc;=en&product;=5070121I don't know if it was necessary, but I just assumed that win8 would need updated software/downloads.

It doesn't come with a disk, you download the installer via the website when you register.

You will still need to run the setup utility that comes with the CD. It is a very easy process the only took me about 5 minutes. I have had no issues in the three months that I have been using it.

Owens: You have two options. One, you purchase the software and download it on line. Unfortunately this laptop does not have a built in disk (DVD) drive. So you purchase software from a source (like Microsoft) and then down load it on to your laptop. That is one of the reason I returned my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 14-b013cl and instead purchased a Dell from Amazon. Unfortunately the description of the computer from Amazon did not make it clear that this computer does not have a built in disk drive. The only other way is to purchase an external disk drive and use it to download software. If you have already have various software disks, then purchasing an external drive probably will be a cheaper option than buying a bunch of new software. Another option, you might want to look at Apache Open Office, which is free @ openoffice.org. Apache Open Office can do everything Microsoft Office can and again it is free. Hope this helps.

Yes it comes with a Driver disc. You will find up to date drivers on this page http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1376 in a zip file. There is also instructions on how to install in Windows 8 on that page also. Just click on the floppy icon to the right side of the title Windows 8.

I don't have Win 8 on any of my machines. But I expect the software on the CD is compatible. Definitely works with Win 7.

If you are running Windows 7 or 8, place the CD in the drive, then insert the card. It should find the correct drivers automatically. It is Plug and Play, so you do not have a SETUP file.

You can use built-in Windows 8 functionality, like to copy files on your CD and click burn. Or any other software like Nero Burning ROM or simpler.

You can download it directly from their website using the Code/Key provided on the program's box that you purchase. Although I have a CD-rom on my laptop, the disk wouldn't load, so I had to download it from their website which proved successful.

Comes preloaded with windows 8....you could reformat it and put 7 one it if you own a copy

No, not installed with any extra programs, just the operating programs, Windows 8, which takes a little getting use to, after awhile you'll like it. Has some TRIAL programs like McAfee Virus, but all other programs you'll have to load, can do from old MS disc, or load from online sources, of course at a price 0¿0 Cheers, Charlie

I was plug and play for me. Don't need to install from CD. Windows 7 driver should work fine.

It doesn't come with setup disks, but Windows 8.1 walks you through setup no disk is required.

I honestly can't remember if it came with a disc or a software because I didn't use any. It worked right out of the box (I recommend formatting it first though). Do you need a software? If you do, you can probably download it from their website.

None. You have to buy the OS separately and install it. I installed Windows 8 via a USB CD-ROM drive. There is an option to install it via USB flash drive as well - bing it to get instructions.
