shouldn't be any sort of an issue, once you plug it in, then if you are running windows 7 or 8 should automatically pick up the drivers, if not you can use the vista drivers in compatibility mode

Go to control panel>troubleshooter>run a program compati bhle with earlier versions of windows>install the driver using that

I have a W3852 and it works on a laptop with XP, however I was not able to get to work on a laptop with Vista.

Sarah, thanks for the question. Not sure if it will work on the Dell XP sorry. We have only used it on newer OS hardware...

I installed in HP 2730p 6 months ago & it works great, faster, cooler are some of the benefits. I would have preferred higher capacity but they seem to have stopped making the larger, about double the capacity, SSD. It should work, but don't know specifically if it will work for the Dell, but I suggest that you at least partially remove the old orig hard drive to see if anything physically unusual about it such as connector adapter used or not. Other than that I don't see why it wouldn't work...also mine had Vista on it originally so I upgraded to Win 7 64 immediately, which made it very easy to set up.

I bought the one direct from Dell. It works find. Pricey but does just fine. I called Dell to find the right one.

I've only used it with an HP & a Dell... I'd try contacting the seller for that info

Yes it works fine. I have it on all my computers which have Vista. "Upgrade to XP"... Thats pretty funny!

I tried one with my new Dell - it just locks up the computer. Win7 is not listed as compatible. Need to contact Amazon to send back.

Yes. Dell provides Windows 7 drivers for this model. I have downgraded several of these.

Running with Windows 7 so I'm not sure. It should be or should have a compatible driver - you can check the Dell site to see if there's a driver to know before hand.

I can't tell you. I couldn't get it to function on my Dell with Windows 7. I kept getting a message that it was not completely loaded. I tried loading it several times with the same result. have no clue what is happening. I was going to send it back but that would cost almost as much as it's worth so I just chalked ut up as a learning experience. sorry I couldn't be of more help, John

Works great with Vista and Windows 7. I'd check Belkin's website for a driver if it's not automatically working with XP.

I can only confirm that it works on Windows XP, Vista, and 7. I have e-mailed the manufacturer and will let you know as soon as I have a response.

Have no idea if it would work with Win 8 or higher. works with Vista but isn't a great fit. Was really meant to work with Win XP. software comes with it. Downloads not available as far as I know. There has been some work done porting it to Ubuntu.

I connected the drive on my 7-year-old DELL laptop (with USB 2.0) and initially it didn't work, but I assumed it was because of the OS, Windows Vista: apparently the manufacturer doesn't warn you that it only works with Windows XP, 7 and 8 (as stated on the box). I tried everything, and nothing worked; finally, just casually after giving up, I tried connecting the drive with the cable of my previous one, a 2-year-old 1 TB Western Digital, and it worked, and it is still doing fine. So I would say yes, it's compatible with USB 2.0, but I'm not sure what really happened here.

I believe it should work with Windows XP. It just plugs into a USB port. There is no installation.

The answer from P. Morton on 8-July is all I could tell you about hook-up. If the picture does not look right, you may have to diddle around with the screen resolution. The instructions that came with the unit should tell you how to do that for Windows 7 and XP. Mine works fine on a laptop. Lots of luck.
