Will these drive work in a Microsoft OS laptop?

Honestly, I don't know if it will work with a Microsoft OS laptop, I used this type of hard drive for a macbook. When I bought the hard drive, it was a "clean" drive and all I had to do was install the operating system and I was good to go.

Yes, this drive will work in your computer. You will, of course, need to format it and install your operating system on it.

I do not know. My machine is a HP Laptop dm4 and this little drive is working great.

Yes, I am using these Flash Drives on Windows 7. I also have used them on Win XP and I see no reason why they wouldn't work with ANY Windows operating system. No special drivers are needed. They work just like another folder in Windows. I have the 32 GB, but I prefer using the 16 GB because they work faster - as it takes only slightly longer for my laptop to read the 32 GB. I keep several 16 GB handy.

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.

Yes, but you need to research your particular notebook model to see if the drive is user replaceable.

None. They are Seagate 1 Terabyte Enterprise Drives. Enterprise drives are designed to last quite a bit longer MTF than a standard non-ES drive.

Hard to say, but I doubt it. The thing requires a driver to run in Windows, and is recognized as two separate drives.

Yes they will work. Those are what I use in mine. I use 16GB and I have never had any problems.

I used a Western Digital Scorpio drive, but any laptop drive (2.5" size) should work.

Sorry to tell you, yeah it's a bad drive. These aren't official Microsoft hard drives, so sometimes they won't work. Try returning it. Mine works pretty nice, but had I known that it wasn't actually produced by Microsoft, I wouldn't have bought it.

It should work perfectly, though I haven't tested it with this specific drive

I've used mine on windows 7 and windows 8, 8.1 and they are fully compatible with the drive.

All 2.5in HD drives or SD drives use the same plug, it does not matter on operating system. Yes it will for operating system. Make sure it is the same thickness 7mm or 9mm to fit in your laptop. If to use externally or internally it will work with 7mm HHD or SSD.

If you go to crucial.com, you can enter your make/model and it will tell you which products will work. This is very similar to system I installed the drive in, no problems, huge performance boost. But double check crucial ' s site before purchasing.

It would work as a replacement drive in a laptop, the only consideration is if the motherboard will support it's capacity. But, under the conditions that capacity isn't an issue, then, yes, it will work
