Does it work with a laptop with windows xp? I just want to save photos and files as my cd drive doesn't work anymore.

I can't answer that. I have a Dell desktop with Windows 7. I connect through a USB port. I believe most laptops have a USB port.

I honestly don't know. I have windows 7 and windows XP and it works with both. My friend who is a tech says it works with any windows software but I don't have first hand knowledge of that.

Hi David---I don't know the answer myself, but I found a Microsoft website that says this works with Windows XP 32 bit only. I would want to see what other people have to say about it as well.

The webcam may work for Windows XP. Im not sure. When I received mine, it came with no instructions, no manual, nothing. Just the webcam wrapped in bubble wrap. AND to top it off, it didn't work and would NOT connect to my desktop or laptop

I only have XP but as I interpret their specs, XP is mentioned only as a minimum requirement and to assure people with old systems like mine that it will still work. Surely it will work with the newer ones.

I do not use windows 8, and do not know anyone else who does. (I use Windows XP and a separate MacBook) I do not see any reason why it would not work with Windows 8 as its photos are stored on a removable SD card that should plug into any computer. There is really no need to load the included software that I have found yet.

Yes, this will work with Windows XP, but you will have to download a burner software to work with it and probably a DVD Codec to play DVDs since it comes with no software.

i used it exclusively with windows 7, but once the software is installed, i suspect that it will work with XP or windows 8 as well. the software was perhaps the strong point of this system, and the program to clean up scratches and dust worked pretty well.

I see no reason it would not work. I have not tried it, but with a program like NERO, one that I use, and XP Professional, there should be no problem My computer is an HP with XP Professional.

I tried to use it with XP. Did not have success. Even contacted Fujitsu for help as it should have worked with XP. But I was trying to use it through an EHR program that was probably interfering with it. Had to send it back. The Fujitsu website will probably answer your questions about it working with Vista. Good luck.

Yes. It works well with Windows XP as long as you install the driver for it.

I got a WD Passport 160 GB USB 2.0 Drive today. - It does not work on my 4-year old Compaq Presario 900 laptop (XP home with SP2). Nothing happens. - So far no trouble running it on my newer HP Pavilion dv4000 (XP home with SP2).With all the comments about working or not working with laptops I keep my fingers crossed! Noticed that reviews earlier this year were far more negative than more recent one's. Did they improve the product??

Positive it does not work on windows 7. I tried the compatibility function in Windows 7 as well to have it configured under XP, still won't work.

I have used it on XP, Win 7 and Win 8. Shouldnt be a problem for you in any version as it just plugs in and acts like a USB thumb drive. By the way. I love mine and it travels nice in my camera bag for backing up our trip photos.

Yes it works on my computer and my computer runs on Windows 7. It does work slowly. This might be because I am using it to view digital photographs. But, so far the disk drive has worked well and worked reliably.
