Actually, no. I have two of these...one on a Win7 box and one on a Vista box and both work fine with the stock windows drivers.

The drivers will be install automatic once that you put the receiver into your PC.

No drivers necessary. Just plug it into your USB port and it functions as expected. I formatted mine once by accident, but did not need to install any driver afterwards.

Yes, just be sure to install the drivers and software from their website. If you can't access the internet once you install the card in order to get the drivers, download the drivers onto a USB flash drive (using a computer or wireless card that works) and install them that way.

There are no "drivers" required. The unit ID will be read during BIOS bootup sequence. It will require software if you want to playback Blueray disc, or record Blueray.

Yes it does, but if you are running it on a windows machine, windows should grab the driver through Windows Update.

I plugged it into my windows 7 machine and the drivers installed automatically. It worked fine on the first try.

the user name and license keys should be on the box that the external drive came in also their is a small disc that says driver on it should be included in your box with the external drive. I installed mine a year ago so don't remember exactly how that goes now but all the information that you need is in the box or on the box to get this to install.

Yes.You have to install the driver. Plug it into your USB. Then go to Windows update.

Yes and no. It doesn't necessarily need formatted but the computer you are using it with will probably need the proper drivers, if you are using it as an external hard drive.

Doubtful, I almost crashed 2 Windows 8 computers trying to install the drivers. I received a refund and the seller did not want the unit back so I threw it away.

Yes, you can download the driver set. Windows 7 and higher and later Linux builds should have the driver pre-installed. It was even plug and play on my RPi with wheezy.

Yup, you need a flash drive with the following file on it. Just load it in as a driver during installation. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ra8qf8shjbnm1yk/Win7%20AHCI%20Drviers%20for%20v3-772g-9829.rar

It does not require drivers... Just plug it in,boot w8.1, and make sure to ENABLE the drive (google it. It is important)
