Can this be adapted to a desktop? I don't want to do return/exch for one I just bought but don't need, if I can apply it to a new customer build.

No it can't. Its only compatible with very few laptops and even then it sometimes isn't recognized by the laptop. Unless you know how ,to program a computer to read it.

Don't see how. It's made specifically for laptops. There is no such connector with wires, etc. on a motherboard.

What happens if I buy and install this, but later I upgrade my PC? Will it not let me install it again because it thinks it's a different computer?

I'm using mine in my desktop. You might want a spacer to make it fit in your bays better. But it will work in my desktop (presuming you've got a sata data connector, (and sata power, but that's available with adapters)

Yes you can use it for desktop. That is what i am currently using it for without any isues. You may need windows 8.1 and using it as a secondary drive to realize full 4 tb capacity. You can use only 2 tb as a primary drive if your oc is older and does not use new uefi bios. Windows decided to only support uefi bios for 4 tb capacity.

I also won't purchase now knowing that it can't be mounted. The default stand will get in the way of my keyboard / desktop-working-space. When a new version is made that can be mounted, please let us know.

i purchased assuming it was able to work with my laptop internally, however it seems it will only work externally. i think it is for a desktop.

Yes you can, however you need to make sure your desktop has bluetooth. If it dosn't then you could always pick one up on amazon too

Yes, that is my understanding. I have used other add-on cards for the same purpose in the past and they have done just what you want to do. However, I was not able to use this particular card because it required a different type of slot on the motherboard that what I have, so I was not able to use or test this one. I could not even return it because by the time I to use it it was beyond the return date. Sorry I could not help more but it should do what you want.Carl

It would work for a desktop if the desktop is Wireless capable. i.e., if it has WiFi. Usually, mobile devices like tablets and cell phones come with WiFi and thus the notion. But, to your question... If your PC has WiFi, this will work!!!

Not sure but the item was not as advertised and when I wanted to to return it they wanted to charge me a heavy restocking fee so I sold it to a neighbor. Stay away from this desktop if possible

Determining real estate space inside a case for any particular component upgrade has far too many variables to give an honest answer. Personally I don't think it would be valid for anyone (unless they had the exact motherboard, case and ALL internal components identical as YOUR setup) to try and answer this one for you. Amazon's return policy is 2nd to none. Take your best educated guess and try it out. Worst case scenario, you return it and lose a week of time.

I bought what was advertised as an adjusted laptop stand. I configured it to sit on my desktop and enable me to stand and use my laptop. Does this answer your question?

Yes, to a desktop. It will come to fit a large tower, so if ou have a mini tower (about 4" wide), then you need to request a small form bracket. Additionally, it will come with a splitter pigtail cable where your current monitors' cords fit. I don't remember if it was DVI or VGA pigtail that came with the package.

I use it on my laptop. I have not tried it on my desktop but I think it would work as long as you have a usb port. I like it. It works well.

Nope. Not unless you consider inside your "Desktop" computer a desk top hard drive. It fits nicely inside one of the bays of your tower. The picture shows a 'bare' drive. No Power. At least the one I received.

you most certainly can. I have this in my regular desktop , the only limitation would be if you are using an old system that does not support large drives.(over 2TB) but anything built or bought in the last 5 years should be just fine.
