I have a Windows 7 PC now, but I plan to get a Windows 8.1 PC in the next couple of months. Is this modem backwards compatible for Windows 7?

I could not get the my telecom software to recognize the voice capability supposedly built into modem. Same issue in both XP Pro and Win7 Pro 64bit. It may have been a software issue, but I returned it anyway. Instead I bought a serial to USB interface cable. It required a driver (free from manufacturer) but once installed worked perfectly with two legacy serial port modems, recognizing all the built-in features.

This modem works just fine on Windows 7 for me (I'm using 64-bit Professional).

I tested it with an old Vista laptop before I put it permanently on a Windows 8.1. It worked fine with both Vista and Windows 8.1, so I can't imagine it would have any problem with the OS in between.

According to the info about that modem, it's supposed to work just fine with winblows OS and fax software. Other than that, I wouldn't know as I don't use or need fax and don't use windows.

I have Windows 8.1 but I am pretty sure this device is compatible with Windows 7. But please, read the specs to be sure.

I am using it with windows 8.1 64bit and the only thing I have noticed is it does not like USB ports that are not hard wired to the motherboard(The ones on the back). Did not have this issue with Windows 7.

It works extremely well in Windows 7, but I have no experience with Windows 8.1. I suggest you check out the specs on line before you buy it.

It works well with the Windows 7 on my Laptop. I have not had any problems moving our wireless stuff from one version to another version previously. So unless Windows 8 is different in that way, I doubt that there would be a problem.

Yes it is. The setup can be a little off on windows 7 as it tried to install it to a wrong port. HP was great. A quick call and they fixed it. If you are using it on a network, the setup is no problem. I was setting it up through a USB. But again, HP was quickly able to fix it

They claim Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility but I seriously doubt trouble-free operation considering their latest driver (as of July 2010) is dated 2007 (before Vista was released!). Besides, there are many claims of the software being very buggy! I would not buy this unit so the question is... where do we find a PSTN to VoIP device that works with the latest version of Windows (Win 7) and the latest version of Skype?

If WinXP, Win7, no problem. win8 unknown. Also linux support, is hardware modem, so works. Comes with windows cd.

We use it with Win8.1 with no issues. Our laptop took it and picked up other devices quickly.In any event, customer support is a great help if you have issues. We had with a Win 7 PC and they solved quickly. Good product, recommend it.

Being totally Windows oriented, I'm not able to answer a question regarding the Zoom modem's usage on Macs.I can say that, before buying it in January 2012, I did talk directly by phone with a person in Zoom's tech department, who answered one of my technical questions. Don't remember that phone number, but it's probably still on their website (www.zoomtel.com) on one of their "support" pages.So far, I've been using the modem for a year and a half with Windows 7, with no problems whatsoever--as long as one follows the installation method I posted to Amazon (2/18/2012). It does what it's supposed to.

I bought one of these awhile ago. Unfortunately, this type of modem is intended for OLDER or pre-win7 systems. If you are looking for a 56K modem, try a PCI-Express,or just a PCI modem.

I have not tried this unit with Windows 8.1 but I don't see a problem. I should connect very easily to 8.1. Windows 7 Pro had no problem recognizing the drive.

Yes, I have Windows 8.1 and just installed it. Works great and easy to install.

Yes this dongle works with Windows 8.1 which is what I'm using right now. You shouldn't install any software, just plug-and-play (i.e. I had issues installing the software but after calling their customer service they told me installing it is NOT good for Windows 8.1 and you have to just plug it in and use it)

Ummm sounds like technogibberish to me . all cable modems are 2-way. They have to be. Now the question is does it meet the docs is 3.0 standard? Yes it does. You will be able to Get >300mbps down and ~120mbps up.
