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.

It should be. Windows is responsible for having drivers for this device. Since it's Win7, I assume so.

I've had no problems with WIN7 and this small DVD/CD drive. My concern is that those who could not get it to work might have failed to read the info provided in the Amazon listing. This device does require the use of 2 USB 2 ports. Plugging it into one USB port does not provide enough power. If you don't have such a USB cord, look around for multiple listings for an A-B Y cable with two regular USB plugs.

yes - but since it was a Windows 8 machine that was reconfigured to Windows 7, the DVD driver was not compatible and did not function. The correct DVD driver has to be located and downloaded for the DVD drive to work.

I have not tried that. The reason I bought it was to install my old software to the new laptop (with Windows 7). I certainly can try that later and tell you about it.

I bought my Asus netbook off of eBay. I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Home Premium before I purchased the external cd player.

This device should use navtive OS drivers. No driver was needed on my Win7 machine.

I have a small netbook that is running Windows 7 Starter and it installed on that okay and runs.

Hi,It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

Yes. The hardware for this netbook would not be a problem. But is it worth upgrading the OS? You really need to look at what you're going to do with this computer. I have windows 7 starter still on it, and does everything I need such as web-surfing, watching movies, editing video, using open office, etc. Heck, I can even play games like swgemu. BUT, you will need to upgrade the RAM to 2GB to run it smoothly. Also, this netbook is not for use on battery for long periods of time (you'll only get 2-3 hrs depending on what your doing. However, if you want a computer to play more demanding games, then this is not the computer for you. This system is just not build for gaming. Yes.

No. I wouldn't count on any of the drivers working. You most likely will have to download a generic driver or let windows update find it for you

Absolutely, I have been using it for 2 years with no problems. Windows 7 64bit. Of course to get the best speed you will need usb 3.0 ports. Luckily, my laptop has 3!Enjoy, Arlie

My Acer Aspire 7 is about 12.5" x 8.7" x .3", so the only issue you could have would be the thickness of you Yoga, as the opening is around .75"; think you should be good and only thing I would change would be a handle or shoulder strap when I just want to carry my laptop; good luck

Yes, I upgraded to windows 7 a long time ago and it worked very well. I would definitely mention though and the laptop comes with a G router wifi card, so if you have an N router, then you will want to either upgrade the wifi card inside or consider a more updated laptop. Mine started running a bit hot and stressed when I attached the N router via USB, but then I also had many other things running all the time and only used the USB, not a new N wifi card.

I used this with an ASUS netbook and it worked fine. Just note that it only works with CDs and not DVDs.

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 am running windows 8 on a ideapad Lenova yoga 13 with it processor and I did not have any problems.

I guess you can, but make sure to visit the Toshiba website before doing that and check if the win7 drivers are available for that laptop. Also remember this laptop does not have a CD drive, so you will have to either get an external CD/DVD drive to install Win7 or have a way to install it from a USB memory stick.
