No. I hooked up to my Compaq running 64-bit, and the driver installed. The reader did not read any of my floppy disks.

I CANNOT get this device to show up on my brand new Vaio running Windows 7. It says the driver is installed, an update says I have the latest driver, I hear the 'connect' sound when I plug it in, but the little power LED on the device just lights up and goes right out. I turn around and plug it into my old XP computer......... and it works fine. So now I have to put the diskette in the device, device into XP computer, XP files to thumb drive, thumb drive over to laptop, and finally copy! ARRRRGH! What started out as a big project (100 diskettes) is going to take forEVER. :-/ Why, oh why, will it not show up in my Windows 7? Good luck to you!

I tried one with my new Dell - it just locks up the computer. Win7 is not listed as compatible. Need to contact Amazon to send back.

The floppy included does not list win 7. I plugged it in the usb and Win 7 64n bit recognized it immediately. I was able to view photos as well as format disk. Slower than having it built into the machine, but don't know if that is just the nature of the beast... works fine so far. It is recognized a drive A: in the My Computer section

Hi Lawrence. I have Windows 7 and my answer is yes and no, unfortunately. It worked fine for a while, then suddenly stopped. It's a shame that very few companies make this product, and for some reason I haven't found much reliability.

The User Guide says that it is XP compatible. I have not tried it. Works fine with Windows 7

Just Google "Windows Compatibility Center" ... Bookmark it! ... you can check Windows 7 compatibility for any software or hardware ...

Yes it is compatible and has been for some time now, I forgot when it changed to the 64 bit version. But it was some time ago back in Windows 7. I have been using it in Windows 8 since the Windows 8 beta came out.

I use Windows 7 so I can't really say from experience. I assume it would be compatible with Win 8 since it says so on the official page - just have to install the drivers that it comes with.

I have not tried for Window 7, but works with Window 8 because it is the one I am using.

no......I have only tried to use this with Windows 7 and it's not the easiest, user friendly software to work with!

Yes, it is compatible. Also, you can check Microsoft's Windows Compatibility Center if you're looking for other models and wondering if they are compatible.

Yes it is compatible with windows 7. I installed it twice. After the first install the keyboard failed and I returned it to Toshiba for repair. The first thing they did was reinstall windows 8, then fix the keyboard. So I has to reinstall windows 7. Therefore I cannot recommend this computer due to their stupid repair people.

I am operating on Windows 7 at work and it works fine. The product description says it is compatible with Windows 8.

I have Windows 7 and it has been working fine for my setup. I was excited to try it out and just plugged it in and used it, although later when I read the instructions I was a little mortified to see that it was only compatible with Windows Vista and no mention of Windows 7, but it still worked fine. Must've been either a printing error, or maybe I just got an earlier version, but if you go onto the Bluemic website (http://www.bluemic.com/icicle/) , it will specifically say what operating systems are compatible, and Windows 7 is one of them.

I do not know. I bought the unit to adapt for use as a coin feeder for my coin sorter. I cannot imagine that it would not be compatible with Windows 7.

I am presently using the program with windows 7 without any problems. The box says that it will also work with windows 8.
