I need to backup a WINXP pc and then move the files to a new WIN7 machine, so I emailed Seagate and asked about compatibility. I just got a response that I think will be helpful to many Amazon shoppers. Here it is:"The Go is compatible with both operating systems. You will need upgraded software that we can provide so that the drive can be used to back up your W7 PC. If you will provide the serial number of the drive you purchase we will be happy to send you the software."UPDATE 12/18/09: I also purchased this cool little hard drive, and it works seamlessly with Win7. Seagate sent me the updated software, but I didn't need to use it. I definitely recommend the FreeAgent Go!

THE BOX SAYS:OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

doesn't work on my 1 yr. old asus desktop which is running 8.1.... the specs on the asus website don't show windows 8 support... only up to 7.. it did work fine on my HP windows 7 machine... not sure if i have to do something special to get it work with my asus, but it kept crashing the machine when it was plugged in, and needless to say, that didn't make me happy !!!! the usb-n13 B1 does show support for windows 8....grrrrrrrrr

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

it supports windows 8 but you computer should also meet windows 8 specification in order to run win8 smoothly ......the board is ok but check your other hardware specs

You'll have to visit their website and download the appropriate software because out of the box, it only supports up to WIndows 7, but when I switched it from my Vista to my windows 8, all I did was download the correct software from the site and it worked like a charm. Hope this helped.

I have Windows 7 and it works, if that answers your question. It's phrased a little funny so I'm not too sure what you mean.

FWIW:Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.

It it's compatible with Windows 7 but there is no guarantee it will run well. The problem isn't your version of Windows but how poorly it was changed to work on any computer.

Yes, it is written on the box that Windows8 is supported. I am using it for Windows7.

So sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have Win7 on mine and I love it.

I have Window's 7 and it works just fine, however it should not make any difference which operating system you are using.

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm a Windows 8.1 user. It works fine with that and with Windows 7.

I checked the Diamond Web site and it says it supports Win 8. Mine was bought before Win 8 so it only says Win 7.
