When I purchased mine, it was because I was putting together a hackintosh. I would advise trying to find some xp drivers for the unit. See if it exists, otherwise I'd upgrade the operating system.

I was not able to install the software on one windows7 64 system, the installer hung. I was able to install on my windows 64 laptop. Speaking with customer support ended with them suggesting that I install windows7 32 bit.

No. I couldn't get the software to work with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. It worked fine on Windows XP.

is os vista or newer? if so there are compatibility messages that come up for lots of programs that actually will work.

The software included is only compatible with windows, also you have to download a newer version of the software from the ASTROMETA website, maybe in the website they can help you out with the OS version.

The version of the operating systems running on each computer should not matter. One of mine is running Win7 and the other is running XP and they both work fine.

I'm having another issue. It seems that the XP operating system was neither preloaded nor included as a separate software pack. Also, I'm missing the USB mouse. Anyone else have these issues/

Yes. However you will need a disc drive to install software and it is only windows XP/Vista/Windows7 compatible. Hope this helped.

The system comes preloaded with Windows 7. I suppose you could wipe it out and install XP, but why? As an alternative, why not get VMware player (for free) and install XP as an alternate choice OS within the Windows 7 environment?

Stop trying to install it. It wrecked my computer, and I had to reinstall the OS.

Hi,I still have the packaging and it lists Windows Vista as a supported OS, it also lists Windows 7 (no mention of 32 or 64 bit) but I can confirm it works well with Windows 7 64-bit.Hope this helps you in taking the plunge.Listiel W.

Yes, you just have to run it in compatibility mode for windows xp (or 98, I forget how I did it)

I would love to upgrade to XP, however, I am not talented enough to do it by myself and Best Buy won't uninstall Vista...any suggestions?

As I read it, after I got it is NO. It will not update anything unless, you completely format your hard drive, since it is for new computers, and not an upgrade. That is what I wanted and when I got this I couldn't even understand what I was supposed to do. You have to buy another program to get ready to install this one. So my answer would be no upgrade for any operating system. I wanted it for XP, but have a Vista too, NADA, as I read it. I sent it back and Amazon is amazing in handling returns. Thanks Amazon.............

there is no operating system installed in this model. I use Win7 and works great

You can't. This program is for much older computer and won't install on newer models. I had the same issue.

None of the specification indicate that OSX is supported. The lack of drivers for OSX would be the primary problem.
