Will the touch screen work for a laptop running Windows 7? I see some issues with it not working if it is not the main monitor.

Yes, it will work fine. However, Windows 7 really is not best for touch based operations. This plugs into a USB port, which is basically the touch interface.

Unless you have some software i don't know about it probably won't work as a touchscreen. it should work fine as either a duplicate monitor (laptop and monitor showing the same) or as a "extended monitor" display, which was how i was using it with Windows 7. Does that answer your question?

Yes it works as a monitor but windows 7 is not really set up for touch screen monitors. It is a lot of money for a simple large monitor. Go with Windows 8.1 if you want to buy this.

No it isn't touch screen, and while the computer itself is a good value the Windows 8 is a frustration hassle to use. What were they thinking when they released it? Didn't they test it on consumers? Try to find a similar computer with Windows 7.

That is correct. If you install Windows 8, you will not be able to avail yourself of the "touch" functions. However, with the installed Windows 7, it's just fine.

No I am user it on my laptop and there is no issue when using the touch screen.

As I said, Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interfacing so it will never be perfect. I found it had some use, but your mileage may vary. Windows 8 should run ok on that machine. You could consider upgrading. it was designed for touch from the start. Still may not be what you're looking for though. If you want something that can best be able to take advantage ot touch, I would suggest some form of tablet (iPad, Android, etc)

Can't say for sure with the touch screen, but cannot see any reason it wouldn't. I have XP and 7 with two dell monitors and wireless keyboard and mouse. Other than the loss of hot swapping function because of the wireless, no hiccups on my end. All I can say is give it a try.

Yes, you can but DO NOT LOAD IT ! I purchased this computer in February along with an Acer touch screen monitor. All was fine until I installed Windows 8.1 , when all hell broke loose! This update made my touch screen almost unusable , changed all my settings, froze my computer. I spent 2 days trying to fix all the problems , then phoned support , who advised uninstalling and going back to Windows 8, which I did ,with no further problems. It seems Windows 8.1 does work when it has been preloaded before purchase, but there seem to be numerous glitches in the software when installed later. DO NOT DO IT! Yes, you can but DO NOT LOAD IT !

The description of my laptop never mentioned "touch screen" or "touch screen enabled". If there is a product description stating either of those for your laptop, then dismiss that verbage. I suppose that since this computer runs windows 8,that you could run a touch monitor off of it. But that would be stupid. If you want touch screen, then I recommend that you go buy a different computer with a touch screen.

Hi Jennifer. Sorry for to respond too late. The screen is not touch screen but have very good resolution in HD (1080p). This laptop come with Windows 8 preinstalled, which you can set for to use with keyboard touch in the screen... It is unfortunate that the touch keyboard can not be used in this laptop. =( . You can think in TOSHIBA C55t-A5287 15.6", this laptop have touch screen.

No, this computer does not have a touch screen. But windows 8.1 makes regular desktop use similar to windows 7 as opposed to windows 8.

If you can open 3 windows on your computer, which I am sure you can, it will work. Uses single USB slot. After installation just open the window you want to monitor and drag it to the third screen.

Hello, It is a very good computer, but it comes without software. I have used it whit windows 7 and I had to download and run all the drivers. You can download it from the intel web page directly. I suppose that the touch screen should work with Win 8, the hardware (motherboard, CPU, memories, HardDrive, ETC) is the same.

No - it doesn't have a touch screen, which can be useful with Windows 8, but I haven't had any problems with it so far.

This device is not touch capable, it's a low resolution second screen. Acer and Dell both make great touch enabled monitors. good luck
