This may sound like a stupid question, what happens after I install it and load up Windows? This may sound like a stupi question, what happens after I install it and load up Windows? Will it ask me to locate drivers or will it find it automatically?

No. It doesn't work at all. Doesn't ship with a driver, windows 7 and 8 cannot find a driver, and i couldn't find one on google that would work. It's nothing but a paperweight.

My was working with Windows 7 before it broke. Does it work with other operating systems? If not, then you have a bad unit.You shouldn't need special drivers for Windows 7.

Have not seen a Windows 8 Driver for this yet but it works "plug 'n play" for Windows 7 without using the driver disk. If you have already made your purchase & tried unsucessfully to install it, try this: Physically remove the device and then open up device manager & "uninstall" it. Reboot your computer and then plug the adapter back in. When the "hardware found" driver install dialogue pops up, be sure to allow it to "search online" To see if it will find a driver. I can't say if this will work with any certainty because I don't have Windows 8 and haven't tried it.

I am running windows 8.1 (64) on a laptop. I probably loaded a driver that came with the drive, but I did not download anything. I have had no problems at all except that I would like to operate throught a usb3 hub and that is not reliable.I use the unit heavily and highly recommend it.good luck!

When I plug it into a windows 7 computer, it says "device driver not installed". No lights come on the device. Just keeps telling me it didn't install properly.

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

It doesn't require any drivers, or at least any that you personally have to install or download. It connects via Bluetooth and you just need to have Windows search for Bluetooth devices. It was a piece of cake.

HI, I'm not sure where you'd find the driver. When I put it into Win 7 it just searched and found the driver when I plugged it in before I could even put the cd inI would suggest calling their tech support to see if the post it online

No, drivers were instantly downloaded when I plugged the device in, and once automatically configured, the device worked perfectly with all programs.

It auto-detected and istalled in Win7 for me. I think Windows supports and is bundled with most "stardard" drivers (eg. FTDI?). If it didn't detect/install I suspect you either have a conflict(check device manager) ot the device is broken.

It doesn't require any drivers, or at least none that you personally have to install or download or worry about. It connects via Bluetooth. So, you just need to have Windows search for Bluetooth devices, and, Voila!, there you go.

Unfortunately not, I bet you could troll around google and find some drivers but it doesn't come with any and Windows is clueless. As always, the cheapest solutions turns out to be the worst one :)

I have used it on Vista, Windows 7 and it is currently on a Window 8 system I have now. On window 7-8 I did not have install the set-up disk. automatically set up drivers and started working.

No. I wouldn't count on any of the drivers working. You most likely will have to download a generic driver or let windows update find it for you

It came with Windows installed, and also a generic disc. However, after about two months, I got a message that the Windows was not authentic. The disc would not re-install. I contacted tech support and they walked me through it remotely. It works fine now with "authenticated" Windows.
