Will this work with my new HP Envy 15 with touch screen and 8.1 windows? My new laptop did not come with DVD drive.

I am not sure about windows 8 but it works great with windows 7. I see no reason why the operating system would make any difference

It worked for mine quite well. Not sure will be working for you or not. My laptop is flat as well which has no DVD drive.

I have HP Envy 15 (no touchscreen) and it works fine with Win 8.1. I wish it were usb 3.0, but oh well.

I don't believe I received a disk with Windows 8. Not sure if it's possible to swap out with Windows 7. I believe there were options to order other similar HP PCs with Windows 7 instead when I ordered htis.

I just got a new laptop with windows 8.1 and it works fine thus far. It should work okay.

You have to add an external USB based CD/DVD drive. Lenovo makes one, there are many others as well that will work.

Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-1906BLK have two versions. One have built in dvd drive, the other one does not. If your model have a built in dvd drive, then you can use this drive.

My laptop is brand new and the DVD player works fine. I believe that it is going to work in your old laptop, I think you only need an USB connection. But I am not 100% sure.

The unit does have DVD drive included, which is also capable of burning copies. Great unit and the touch screen is an extra plus with the Window 8.1.

I'm not an HP tech so I could not say for sure but as long as your laptop has an available USB port it should. My Elitebook 840 / Win 7 immediately recognized the drive, loaded the drivers and I was watching a movie in less than 30sec.

There is no cd or dvd drive on the Acer Aspire One. I purchased an external dvd drive which connects via the usb port. It was only $30 on the internet. That was three years ago.

I don't know... I have a newer pc now and no longer use it. it has been awhile since I purchased it... was running under window 98 or xp... don't remember. check the specs for this item it should be indicated... else contact company with tech question. it did work just fine though... a bit flimsy but was okay since I did not have a dvd drive at that time.

If you are installing the device on a windows 7 or greater operating system, windows will se it. My problem with this unit was it supposed to be a cd/dvd RW. All it saw was the DVD. If you had drivers that saw both you have to look elsewhere. Sorry. Fred Ahne

Yes! It will work with any computer whether it's HP or nor not. More and more computers are coming without built in CD/DVD ROM so it's a good thing you bought it. Also it'd save you considerable amount of money when buying a new PC.Good Luck.

This particular device works very well with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I have the Lenovo X1 Carbon running Windows 8.1 and the device is automatically detected. Windows USB driver are installed instantly. It's important to know that the Lenovo Portable DVD burner uses two USB slots to work, but it comes with the required cables. You should not have any problems.

Yes since this laptop contains" 4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external connection via USB this should work fine. Once connected the OS should install the proper driver automatically.

I have Windows Pro 7 and Windows XP working with device. I do not have a touch screen yet to use Windows 8 or 10 yet, but the device should work. No drivers needed.

I upgraded the memory to 8 gb. It was not easy. I had to practically take the whole laptop apart. Took about 2 hours. Then again, I am not an IT guy. If you know someone who knows what they are doing, should be easy. Just make sure to get memory specific to this specific HP envy.
