For Win 7, Is Admin privilidge required for setup? Are any software installs or updates required?

This product is very simple. The USB that connects to the computer is just like a USB Hub, so I do believe you can get away with basic USB drivers, although the only thing I would question is how locked down your users' computer is. I would presume you can get away without the need of admin privilege, but that would be based on how locked down the computer is. Keep in mind, every time you or the users use this switch to switch computers, it acts as if the USB cord was pulled and then connected to the computer you just switched to; this is not necessarily a bad thing.

It's all based on hardware. No need for software installs so I don't believe you require any special privileges for use or setup. Having said that, it does require the hardware to be recognized as a USB mouse and keyboard - but i don't believe there is any need for special privileges for such task.

You will still need to run the setup utility that comes with the CD. It is a very easy process the only took me about 5 minutes. I have had no issues in the three months that I have been using it.

you have to go into admin tools, computer management, storage, disk management. this is where you setup the hard drive.

My concern was to get Windows 7, 64 bit. As far as the rest, I don't really know, but I have downloaded for free anything I have wanted to add.

It should be. But you may have to run it in Windows XP compatibility mode, which you will be prompted to accept to be run with administrator privileges, which is a potential security risk

MS Office is pre-installed but you need to activate and costs you--also it has MS Windows 2010, but upgrades to MS Windows 2013. I did not get mine with OS CD. I am not sure if it upgrades to Windoe.

not exactly the answer to your question but i was able to get windows 7 installed with no issues.

Sounds like you loaded more than just the required drivers. Do you really want or need the optional software?

I would have the CD handy. I found that I had to use the CD for the software install. Thanks.

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

Yes, you would have issues, if your using win 7,8 it's possible to install the device manually and set systems resources accordingly

just download it. or go to a Microsoft store and they will install free for you.

Backup your vital files, and do a clean install. Aka... boot from the server disc, format the drive, and use it as a server os, not a workstation. Installing over something is not really a viable path, in my humble opinion. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/install-configure-2.aspx

I would also like to know if the download installation is Windows 7 compatible.

It should come with the necessary driver software. You shouldn't need it though. Windows should recognize it.

Good question! I did not do that type of installation. I know there is a disc that came with it, but I did not need to use it for windows installation. I would try and ask the vendor selling this item if they can answer it for you.
