I connected to two Windows 7 machines and neither worked... Anyone know why? Product page says its Windows 7 compatible, the actual box I received does not.

I have one connected to a Windows 8.1 and a Windows 7 PC - they work fine. The only problem I have is with the 8.1 machine - it changes the size of any open windows whenever I switch between the two. I probably depends on the PC manufacturer. My 8.1 PC is HP, the 7 PC is Dell.

I'm also using mine to connect a new & an OLD machine (Win 8.1 & XP) & they work fine. No reason I can think of that it wouldn't work with Win 7. So what doesn't work? Do you get a display on the monitor but no response to the keyboard or mouse, or ???

I haven't tried Windows 7... but it is working great on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2008. I would have thought that 8.1 would have issues before Windows 7. I know that doesn't answer your question...just some additional information for troubleshooting. You may have just received a defective unit.

I've connected my IOGear switch to a HP Pavilion running Win7 and a 12+ year old eMachine XP ... no special setups required. They both work really well. Though I needed to buy a connector for the HP because it didn't have the VGA port. I love it. One monitor, one mouse one keyboard (both wireless Microsoft 3000 models ).

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.

The one I got from the guy on Amazon wasnt the right one. So be wary buying this kind of stuff here. Your better off going to best buy. And yes, it will work with windows 7.

My computer is Windows 7 & it connects just fine. I don't know what to tell you.

Yes, I have the same question. Does any body know if it will work with Windows 7?

I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit and was able to get it to work. It's not hooked up now so I can't give you any further help, sorry.

Hi there, I bought this device a while ago. It is kind of outdated. It was meant for older versions of Windows like XP and below. There might newer hardware that is Win 7 compatible. If you still want to give it a shoot, try installing the "latest" driver from the vendors website, http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/adapters/USBBT100 Click downloads and choose hardware version 2.0. Good luck

I got windows 7 up without a hitch and haven't had problems with it. If it's a problem with the USB 3, have you tried the back of the machine? I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the back ports were 2.0.

Sorry I am using Windows 7 and it works great. Isn't 8 like 7 can't you run it in different modes like Win 7 or XP mode? If so try that

Gerry: I've got it installed on WINDOWS 7...but never use it. I'm using it on my WINDOWS XP (another computer) and it works just fine. I've had problems installing on "7"....and if that's the only thing you have.....good luck. I was just patient and kept at it after "7" was telling me to forgot it. But I did get a correct install.

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

Well, I'm guessing it is working with Windows 7, a lot better than it did when I bought it. So yes it should work with Windows 7. Google it for more help though!

I tried 2 of these with windows 7. The first one pretty much never worked (see earlier review). Amazon promptly sent a replacement which worked OK (although it seemed slow) for a while, then it began to copy only 1 file, and then get errors about "no files found". I finally gave up on this and got a similar reader by transcend (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NS0OZ4) which has given no problems so far.

I have windows 7 and this product doesn't even work on my computer. I don't know if it is my computer or the product. As for your system, some of the newer systems have a program that you can open it in the win 7. If you right click on the icon, there is a trouble shoot compatibility if you bought it already, otherwise I wouldn't get it and look for a different system.

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.
