I need to backup a WINXP pc and then move the files to a new WIN7 machine, so I emailed Seagate and asked about compatibility. I just got a response that I think will be helpful to many Amazon shoppers. Here it is:"The Go is compatible with both operating systems. You will need upgraded software that we can provide so that the drive can be used to back up your W7 PC. If you will provide the serial number of the drive you purchase we will be happy to send you the software."UPDATE 12/18/09: I also purchased this cool little hard drive, and it works seamlessly with Win7. Seagate sent me the updated software, but I didn't need to use it. I definitely recommend the FreeAgent Go!

It works fine with Windows 7, including both Home Premium 32/64 bit and Ultimate 64 bit (those are the systems I have). Think about it....why would Microsoft, of all companies, create a product that is not compatible with their latest operating system?

doesn't work on my 1 yr. old asus desktop which is running 8.1.... the specs on the asus website don't show windows 8 support... only up to 7.. it did work fine on my HP windows 7 machine... not sure if i have to do something special to get it work with my asus, but it kept crashing the machine when it was plugged in, and needless to say, that didn't make me happy !!!! the usb-n13 B1 does show support for windows 8....grrrrrrrrr

I personally run Windows 7 but another user on Amazon.com claims the product works on Windows 8. I apologize for not being more helpful.

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

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.

THE BOX SAYS: OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.

It's found to work best with windows 7. It tends to freeze up with windows 8. That's my experience. I hope this is helpful.

Thank you for telling me I should install Windows 7 Professional. If that's the case, then why does the text for the product say that it works with Vista and XP?

Hello buddy ! I've been worked with Windows 7 and he works very good, I recommend it !

FWIW:Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

It is not a question whether it supports Windows 8, it is a question whether Windows 8 will support it. It should. Yes.

Hi, it supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7, will not compatible with Windows 8, thank you!

If you can get it to work at all will not work on windows 7 because you can not load drivers and there is no support what so ever
