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!

You'll have to visit their website and download the appropriate software because out of the box, it only supports up to WIndows 7, but when I switched it from my Vista to my windows 8, all I did was download the correct software from the site and it worked like a charm. Hope this helped.

Thank you for telling me I should install Windows 7 Professional. If that's the case, then why does the text for the product say that it works with Vista and XP?

Hi Lawrence. I have Windows 7 and my answer is yes and no, unfortunately. It worked fine for a while, then suddenly stopped. It's a shame that very few companies make this product, and for some reason I haven't found much reliability.

I'm not sure if it supports Windows 7, but the Windows 8 system hasn't been a problem. There is a desktop feature that is almost the same as Windows 7, and I use it for 99% of my work. I really don't use the Windows 8 tiles for anything. I read recently that a free download will be made available in the near future that allows the Windows 7 look on newer machines. I wouldn't worry about it...it's a very good computer.

The box says it supports Win XP (SP1), Win Vista, Win 7 and Win 8. It also comes with a DVD. I have only used it on a platform with Win 7.

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.

While I can't give you a 100% as I don't use Win 8 (and neither does anybody i know, its REALLY unpopular here) it works great in Win 7 and if it works in 7 it nearly always works with 8.

Sorry I am using Windows 7 and it works great. Isn't 8 like 7 can't you run it in different modes like Win 7 or XP mode? If so try that

I have Windows 7 on it and it works just fine... Although I don't know how it handles on a day to day basis, I use mine as a Torrent Downloader and nothing else... Install was a breeze via USB THUMB DRIVE

I have Windows 7 and it works, if that answers your question. It's phrased a little funny so I'm not too sure what you mean.
