I want to upload what is on this drive to a computer running Windows 7 - will this drive do that?

Are you talking about cloning the contents of this drive to your computer? If so, yes. It is indeed possible, manually or with the help of freeware. I recommend the latter though. I did the opposite though as I have a 3TB drive. Good luck.

I have the Seagate 2tb and I also run Windows 7 and it just asked me to upload an out of date app but it works. That's all I can tell you.

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).

The Windows version is not the problem. Your computer must hook up to this sort of drive. If it does, this will work

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

It should function just as the internal one with the same software, either native Win7 or whatever software you use to read/write. Just select the new drive from Explorer.

Highly doubtful. Win 95 is not the real problem. But a PC old enough to still have Win 95 almost certainly lacks the SATA interface needed for this drive.

I don't have this hard drive yet, they have not sent it back to me. But it is not a network storage device, it connects to your computer via firewire or USB. At least that's what it should do.

Yes. I purchased this hard drive as replacement for a computer that already had Windows 7 (the hard drive died). Installed the operating system, drivers, etc. on the new hard drive and the computer is running fine.

Yes! It works on my PC running Windows 7's resident back up utility. I was planning on using the utility that came with the drive, but it wouldn't allow me to back up my external drive. The Windows utility worked fine. Good luck!

Yes, It will do all of this and more. Windows 7 will work just fine and will upload to your computer with no problem. The charging cord will hook to your computer and complete upload your pics.

Yes it will go through the USB or eSATA (preferred) You just format the drive.

Yes, but it has to be formatted to exFAT if you want the files to be over 4gbs. (NTFS also for Windows)

It will work just fine. I have Windows 7 pro 64, and it has plenty of storage. After I plug it in and installed the free software for backup, I was ready to go.

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive. I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

I just saw that it's Windows 7 you want to go to. It's the same procedure basically. You need to get your data off that system if possible. You'll also need a Windows 7 install disk.

Most likely you will not have a problem with it. External drives from reputable companies pretty much all are compatible. It's a great drive and I'm running it on a mac mini so you should be fine on a windows.

I used it with Windows 7, so I really don't know. My educated guess would be yes, since it's only transferring files, but I can't be positive.
