Will this work for installing windows 7, 8.1 or the new win 10 tech preview?

Yes it will. It has worked wonders for me since i used it as a back up for re-installing Apple OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion). As long as you follow instructions on partitioning it.There are plenty instructions and examples on YouTube from different tech guys showing vids on how to back up and install OS (win or mac).

No, you would have to put files that will boot up the computer along with the DVD for the OS or the files on it.

Yes if you have any install tool that sets up Windown usb. I have a 32gig usb 3.0 dedicated just for installing windows, I have used it multiple times and works quick and reliable

Yes. I used Windows 7 on my machine for it's entire working life. However I'm not sure what WIN8 would do. Godd luck!

I have Win 8.1 on it and I happy with that, I don't want to change it for Win 7 (but I think I could)!

I have been using it with windows 8 preview and it works no different than windows 7. it uses native windows 8 drivers, noting to install.

Hi! I use it on Windows 8.1 and really like it. Win 8.1 upgrade is also great. Jim

I had Windows 8 and it worked perfectly. Then I downloaded Windows 8,1 and it still worked like a charm.

I have Windows 7 on it and it works just fine... Although I don't know how it handles on a day to day basis, I use mine as a Torrent Downloader and nothing else... Install was a breeze via USB THUMB DRIVE

Yes you can install any application that currently installs to win7. The interface is the exact same.

I would think you should be able to install Windows 7 Home Premium, especially if you wipe out Win 8 first. You may have to change it so the computer looks to the CD/DVD drive on boot up.

I have Windows 8 and had zero issues with it so Windows 7 should be fine :]

NO. Win7 does not uttilize the necessary bytes. To install. Upgrading to 8 is the only was to ensure correct I stallation.

Yep. I've used it on both Win7 and 8, as well as 8.1. I haven't yet installed the 8.1 Update 1, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't work on that as well. Just make sure to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.

It will not work on anything newer than Widows XP, maybe Vista. But not Win 7.

I have one and it works with Win 8. I'd think it would certainly work with 7.
