Will this work with a Windows OS (Specifically a Lenovo Thinkpad S230u)? I need to connect it to an Elmo.

Ashley: Not on a lenovo IdeaPad running Windows 8.1 I had to return the product (no hassle with the return). It would not play CD, DVD movies or allow software downlaods from DVD. I ordered Generic USB Exterenal CD-WR / DVD-WR Drive that been working great since March 2014.

I believe that this device will work with any version of Windows that supports USB provided you have the drivers. It is just hardware, but for the price, how can you go wrong? I have used it with Windows XP and Ubuntu. Both did the setup automatically as I recall.

I just connected it to my micro usb port and my android tablet automatically recognized it. I would think running a windows operating system, it would function the same

I am not familiar with the IdeaPad, but I have found the Plugable USB 2.0 does not work well with Windows 8.1 and has some quirks with 8.0. If you have Windows 8.0 or 8.1 I have found the 3.0 Plugable version works much better. You can connect a large monitor (resolution is limited by the computer drivers), a keyboard and mouse. Expanded USB ports may require an additional hub be added. Good luck.

I have a ThinkPad with Windows 7 and I just took the 570 out of the box, plugged the USB transceiver into a port, and it worked. Be aware, though, that the 570 has a relatively short life (a year or two). Eventually, it will intermittently stop responding to your inputs (clicks won't work, the trackball won't move the cursor), and you will have to get a new one.

No, because it won't work with windows. No machine can recognize this piece of trash. There are no driver downloads for it, so you're outta luck. That's why it's so cheap...because it's cheap!

Sorry, i´m not 100% sure because i have a Laptop with Windows, but i´m pretty sure that should work.

It should work with any OS that runs on the motherboard. It is just a port.

I have a Lenovo Ideapad P470, and it works fine. I have to fiddle a little bit with the computer/charger connection, but other than that, it's great.

I am using it with zero problems with my Dell Latitude. I see no reason why it wont work with the Thinkpad

Hi Suzanne. I am currently using the Lenovo 41N5565 with a Windows7, 64 bit laptop. It works just fine.--- Terry

It may not work with any OS. Mine and others pulled apart. Shoddy manufacturing from a Hong Kong no name

Yes. It works on a USB bus, which doesn't care about the operating system. Just plug it in and off you go.
