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!

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

It's found to work best with windows 7. It tends to freeze up with windows 8. That's my experience. I hope this is helpful.

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

Yes, actually i use it with windows 7 64bits , buuuuut, you have to download the drivers from the web , windows doesn't recognize it automatically.

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.

Well, I'm guessing it is working with Windows 7, a lot better than it did when I bought it. So yes it should work with Windows 7. Google it for more help though!

My was working with Windows 7 before it broke. Does it work with other operating systems? If not, then you have a bad unit.You shouldn't need special drivers for Windows 7.

I'm running it on Windows 7. It was initially not supported on Windows 8, hence the reason for looking for an upgrade and discovering it was no longer supported by MS. It will definitely not work as a "Windows App".
