I bought it so I could utilize 4 monitors at once. My use is for business & accounting, and it works flawlessly.

I'm not IT so I know not of these numbers you speak, but it has worked flawlessly for a year and a half on our systems with Windows 7. We use it daily for a pro video service. As a matter a fact I've been meaning to order another one for a 2nd system. Thanks for reminding me!

I worked for me too. I'm using it with a bluray drive from a dead HP laptop. No issues with Windows 7 or 8.

Not sure. I'm running Windows 7 x64. Works fine, but causion. I use it with ProShow Gold to burn Blu-ray Vidoes. Had to make sure I told ProShow to burn at 6x or slower. I actually selected 2x speed via 3.0 usb. Worked fine.

Yes it works well with my laptop which has Windows 7 /64 bit. I didnt do anything special, windows automatically saw it and loaded the proper drivers.

It should work because I was using this dock with an "Intel Next Unit of Computing Kit with HDMI, Thunderbolt, Core i3-3217UDC3217BY". To reduce the possibility of issue do the following: - Install latest BIOS in the machine and upgrade to Windows 8.1. Win 7 should work but I have not tested it, so I cannot recommend it. - Make sure that thunderbolt port is enabled in BIOS. - Install the Intel Thunderbolt Controller Driver for Windows 8.1 (you can get this from Lenovo web page). If you go with Win 7, get Win 7 Thunderbolt drivers instead. - Download latest Broadcom ethernet (NetXtreme Desktop/Mobile) drivers and Fresco Logic (FL-1000/1009 USB 3.0) from station-drivers web site. This docking has a Fresco Logic FL-1100 USB 3 controller, but the listed drivers will worked fine for me. - Turn off Fast Startup on Windows 8.x and shutdown the machine. - Plug the thunderbolt docking - Turn on the machine - Install Ethernet and USB3 drivers. In my case I installed Ethernet drivers first, reboot and then USB 3 drivers. Try hot plug in. As I mentioned before it may or may not work depending on the combination of BIOS and drivers in your machine.

It works with MCE in any Windows 7 that has it. Will also work with Media Portal which is an alternative to MCE.

This system works through your Windows Media Center, so I can't see that there will be a problem using it with Windows 8.1.

Hi, yes I have. You will need to download and install the driver from Lenovo.

It works well with windows 7 media center and its own software (Aver media center). I use both almost everyday. Most people with probably use windows media center, as it's very easy to use (kind of like tivo). I like the Aver media center a little better though, because of the many options that it has, which windows media center doesn't. Windows media center has an excellent built-in tv guide. The Aver media center built-in tv guide isn't that good. I got around this by building a customized online tv guide at Titantv. Titantv (online)works extremely well with the Aver media center; it makes setting up tv shows to record very easy. It works well with windows 7 media center and its own software (Aver media center).

It comes with Windows 8 Pro (Professional) 64 bit. It does have an HDMI port. I don't know about Media Center, I never cared for it so I have not looked into it.

I do not know if it works on Windows 7, 64 bit computers since I do not have such.However, I have Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and it works just perfect.Nothing to do. Just connected it on a USB 3 port of the new Sony Vaio. Worked just perfect.Also used it to play DVD movie after dowloading Roxio to this new computer since this new computer does not have an optical drive.

Just tried installing on my Dell Inspiron 15 7537 Windows 8.1 (No Media Center) I get great pictures, but no sound. Works great on my XPS Studio with Windows 7 Pro. I did try and download the update from Hauppauge, same result.

Yes. You will need to create Windows 7 Pro recovery disks first from the hard drive that comes on the computer. To do so, you will need 3 to 5 blank DVD-R or DVD-RW disks. Go to Start, Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools, and you will see the option for the factory disks there. It will take about an hour to an hour and a half. Then, switch the drives and install Windows 7 Pro from the disks you just created. You can also call Lenovo Tech Support and they will mail these disks to you.

I'm running Windows 8.1 upgrade Media Center 64 bit and all is well. I started with the drivers supplied with the card (Windows 8 Pro), but all worked fine when upgraded to 8.1 and then the 8.1 upgrade, and somewhere in between Media Center.

I use mine sometimes in Win8 so it should. Double check that Windows has BluRay playing capability built-in from a software perspective. I think it does but wouldn't say I'm 100%. The drive itself will work just fine though.
