I've had it for about 6 months. I had windows Vista when I bought it. 3 months later upgraded to Windows 7 and it works like a clock. It works perfectly, looks professional and the size is very convenient to carry around.

Yes Doug..You dont have any problem with that. It is compatible with Windows 7 Backup and Recovery.

Neither. It does, however, allow you to make one image recovery disc in case the windows stops working properly. Go to settings->backup->and choose one from those options

While I no longer have this and cannot test it directly, it is a generic enclosure. Thus, I do not foresee any issues with Windows 7.

You can use windows backup to backup your entire harddrive including the hidden recovery partition to a 16gb flash drive. Then use that drive to boot and recover your hdd in the event of a total hdd failure. No need to buy a new OS or send in to Asus

If you mean, "can I use it on Windows 7 without adding other software", then "yes". You can administer the drive characteristics using Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management (or whatever it's called in Windows 7; I'm currently using Windows 8).

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can just attach both drives and use windows to copy the files.

You can hook up the drive but you might need a recovery program - I suggest "icare" - good program.

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

I have not yet started using my 4TB Backup Plus, so I don't know the capabilities. Sorry.

The machine comes preloaded with Windows 7 Professional 64bit already. You're good to go. The supplied recovery media is for Windows 8, however. Re-installing Windows 7 will be difficult. I'd recommend preforming a complete system backup to an external harddrive as soon as you get the machine.

Can be retrofitted for Windows 7, but check the warranty first. Don't know about the hard drive.

Shawn Slater is correct you have to make the windows seven recovery disks yourself. it is very easy

That depends on the kind of failure you have on your external drive. If the drive has died, then nothing to do. If the drive works, then you should be able to recover. I rather do that connecting the drive to a PC directly.

That's interesting. I just kept mine in a box, but that was fortunate because when the new drive failed they were able to retrieve my data (again) from my original drive. I would think a computer place that does repairs could help you.Sounds like a great idea, good luck.

No, but you can use windows easy transfer application to backup and restore your data from old hard drive to new one.Hope that answers your question.

I would think yes. This is a stand alone USB powered drive so it can be used as a replacement for broken/damaged built in drive.
