My desktop software has been upgraded from XP to Windows 7. That resulted in incompatibility issues. Will this IDE work with Windows 7?

Yes. I replaced my CD Drive with this new one shortly after upgrading from XP to Windows 7. Make sure your desktop wiring Pin Set is for IDE and not SATA.

Yes, it will. I installed mine in a Dell desktop computer which originally has Windows XP installed. I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. Windows 7 automatically installed the correct driver for this drive.

I don't know the requirements for windows 7. I prefer xp over windows seven a lot of older programs won't run on seven and xp can also run DOS programs. If It has the min. memory and hard drive requirements are there it should work. I bought one of the computers I am not the seller. Mine works great with xp I have Win Seven on another computer but love XP for my older programs.

When I installed this drive, I had updated my whole system, so I changed to windows 7. I did that because, I had heard that it will work with Vista, but there would be trouble if you used an IDE connector.

It works with windows 7. I've never tried it with XP and don't use XP any more.

Yes. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8/8.1 two weeks ago, and had not attempted to open the software since then. Thank you for asking this, because I learned that I had to re-download the product (for free through my Amazon account). I opened the program, and checked most of the features. Everything worked fine in Windows 8.1. A word of warning to anyone who might transition from XP/Vista/7 to 8: upgrade to Windows 8 before creating business plans using the software. I believe I temporarily lost 2 business plans (I have it all backed up somewhere, I just have to find a computer with which to open the full backup).

I haven't had any issues. I purchased it to transfer files from a legacy HDD to a new SATA one and the new MB didn't support IDE. It worked without a problem in Windows XP and now is being used for the CD-ROM.

XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, best reformat and Install Wins 7 and run in the "Classic Mode" looks just like XP but Win 7 is still supported by Microsoft.

It is compatible with 7 and both home and professional XP. Hope this helps. I have used this product for about 5 years on pc's and laptops and have not had a problem yet.

Yes. Just use windows 7 desktop, not windows 8 desktop features. Load MS Works and then click on Programs and select MS Works.
