Will this version work on Win 7? I have the manual but cannot find the disk and wonder if it is worthwhile to buy again?

Yes, it will work with Windows 7. I really like the program. Is it worth buying the disk, I don't know. I wish there were updates for this program, but there are not. I also, know there are other programs that do more than this one and that comes at a price. Depending on your needs, you have to decide your next step. I would buy this again if I were in your situation.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks! I mean it .....Windows Vista sucks. It always has from the get-go. I went from XP straight to Win7 and never lookin' back.I even prefer Win7 to Win8. Win8 is like a smartphone system.This LG drive works super great & I know it will for years to come. It's very quiet.I got it solely for it's Lightscribe ability. I already had the Lightscribe software, so this was a perfect choice.It actually was THE ONLY place I could find a SATA connected CD/DVD drive that ALSO has thecapability to burn images on the top side of the disc's with Lightscribe burning technology. I still highly rec' this item. I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks!

i read in one of the revies that the guy hated W8 and went thru hoops to uninstall. think he formated drive and installed W7 but still had problems. I came from vista to W8 so little learning curve,....but lots of utube videos to ease the pain of learning curve. i was on 32 bit vista n this is 64 bit tech. i stored stuff in 32g thumb and moved to W8. some programs had to be updated for W8, or W7 cuz of the 64 bit thing but all works great. Updates for W7 seem to work fine on W8 platform, hope this helps u!

I have Win7 64 bit and it works fine. A scan disc doesn't care what version of windows it is plugged into. The files might not be able to load onto a computer that has outdated programs that cannot read or convert what you have downloaded onto the scan disc. To my knowledge I do not know of any problems whether it is a usb2 or usb3.

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 did not work for me at all... Win 7 32 bit, Win 7 64 bit, or Win 8.... Keep looking...

It should work on windows 7 and i don't remember if mine has to use discs. I think you can make it so you don't have to.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating systemin the event the drive fails.

I have been using it Win 7/64 bit with no problems. Might want to check to see if there is a download at the game site.

Hi T.Lee, I have not had any trouble running this on Windows 7. The OS will work fine.

Yes. Win 7 is what I have and it works fine. Highly recommend the product, too. Works great and easy.

It has been some time since I got mine, but I believe Win 8 will do what Win 7 did; I plugged it in and the OS went searching for drivers and installed them automatically. I paid about $10 for mine. At that price, I thought it worth the gamble.

So sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have Win7 on mine and I love it.

I can't definitively say yes. I installed it on windows 8 succesfully. People say it is not usable on windows 7 or 8 but I can say that is not the truth for windows 8, and logic dictates that the method for installing it on Windows 7 would be the same. It will not automatically find the drivers or even acknowledge it was plugged in. I had to go to the Device Manager see its error status, right click on it, choose update the driver and direct it to look at driver cd in my dvd rom. It proceeded to install and works well. So I cannot say yes with 100% certainty but using this method should work. I can't definitively say yes. I installed it on windows 8 succesfully.
