Will I be able to use my 7 year old Dell monitor - USB and windows 2007 on this computer?

Shouldn't have any problem with the monitor and it comes preinstalled with window 7 not the annoying windows 8. Hope this helps!

I would think so, did you use your monitor with Win7 on your previous computer? Monitors are too fussy re. what is being fed into them. I bought from Craving Savings and they have good tech support, maybe ask them.

Yes. I have used this video adapter on a Windows XP PC with USB 2.0 that was purchased new in 2006 with no problems. I use it mainly for basic office applications, but I imagine if there is any negative aspects it might be seen if you're doing high screen refresh rates while gaming. I haven't seen any issues at all though.

this has window 7 on it not 8. and I don't know if that monitor will work on it...I would guess it would unless there is no driver for windows 7 ....

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 seriously doubt there are any windows 8 drivers for such an old monitor. Usually windows is pretty good about finding correct drivers but generally this type of monitor shouldn't need any special drivers. I don't have mine anymore but I seem to remember it working just fine with win7 so I would try using those drivers.

Yes, but you will need a usb port. I am running windows 7 with 5 monitors and no issues.

I have 2 Dell 22" E228WFP monitors that are even older, connected without any problems or issues.

Scrupples' answer sounds about right. Maybe look for a budget monitor. I wonder if you could back up your old computer and then load the files onto the Dell. I'm not the most computer savvy guy BTW.

The USB ports work fine here, I have not had any issues. I use them all the time. You need to make sure you plug the USB cord from the monitor into a USB port on your tower though.

Possibly, but I'm not sure. I only have connected to single monitor.Check with Dell support forums.

Yes but, You must go to the Dell site and get the Windows 7 drivers. Or find out what type of laptop it was originally installed in more than likly it was Dell though. I hope this helps. R H

Sorry, it's a non-starter for your new(er) laptop. I doubt drivers exist for Win7 much less for Win8. Sizing is critical in a laptop, and the connector you need isn't in yours. Motherboard, bus compatibility, physical space, connector, take your pick of obstacles. This card is also 4? maybe 5 generations old. Now, the 7000 series is available with discrete graphics, when ordering, so there might be one available for your machine. Go to the Dell Support site and look up the schematics for your machine. See if it has that info. My Inspiron 17 7000 has nVidia GT 750M inside, so they do build them. Good luck DJS in TX

You will have to contact Dell support, they are the only ones that know the specs on their products.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Tewana! If your Dell monitor only has VGA ports, then you cannot use this product to connect the Dell monitor to any computer as the Plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI does not support VGA. It only supports connectivity via HDMI and DVI. Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks! Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

Hello Mr. Tissier, you said that you didn't have any problems with Windows 7 as long as I get an A-B Y cable with 2 USB plugs. I order one from Cables to Go and plan to use it with my Dell Inspiron Netbook. Should I be okay with that? I would appreciate your response. Thank you.
