I does come with a 2.5 inch hard drive. I personally backed the hard drive (80 GB) and installed a 500 GB instead. I copied the backup to th new hard drive. It came with Vista, but I installed windows 7 professional.

I have Windows 7. Can't tell you about 8. You do need to have the disk in the computer to run it.

It should work, but not all features are available if you dont have windows 7

The GB's and windows does not matter. It only allows you to retrieve the data that was on the drive. But to be direct yes It will work. One last thing be sure to check if the drive uses a SATA or IDE connection.

If you have a Windows 7 installation disk as well as a Windows 7 serial number/key( on the disc packaging) and a computer capable of running Windows 7 sure . Here is a linkhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7

Windows 7 can absolutely handle a drive this size. This drive works great with windows 7.

I have Windows 7 so can't answer your question. However the specs should tell you what you need to know.

Yes it will work on Windows 7. They say it's "for Mac" because the primary connection is Firewire 800, which is not as common on PCs, and the drive is pre-formatted for Mac OS. However the drive also supports USB2 and can easily be erased and reformatted for Windows. So as long as your PC has either FW800 or USB2, then you can use this just fine with Windows 7. The drive has 2 FireWire ports and is powered by an external power supply, so it SHOULD work just fine daisy-chained, however I have not tried it so I can not say for sure.

I don't know the requirements for windows 7. I prefer xp over windows seven a lot of older programs won't run on seven and xp can also run DOS programs. If It has the min. memory and hard drive requirements are there it should work. I bought one of the computers I am not the seller. Mine works great with xp I have Win Seven on another computer but love XP for my older programs.

Actually, disregard my previous response. I had this drive, but it was a 2TB model, not 3TB. There's a limit of 2.19TB for older Windows version (including Win 7) unless you have hardware that supports GPT partitioning, which I honestly don't know much about at this time. I'd recommend going with a 2TB version to be on the safe side.

I have windows 7, but I really do not think it matters. The device was draining my funds so don't waste your money, I am sure there are better products just not this one

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.

The laptop typically comes with Windows 8 pre-installed. So, you would need a Windows 7 installation disk.

So sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have Win7 on mine and I love it.
