Will this adapter work with Windows 8 on my Dell Inspiron 17R? I haven't been able to get it to connect and was hoping someone had a solution.

Nope, Win 7 WIDI only....first thing in 30 years that is not backwards compatible.

I bought the PTV1000 and it did not work with windows 8. I had to send it back for a refund.

Your computer needs WiDi. It's a graphic chip. I bought it and would not work without it. I was told you have to get it with your computer, it can't be added on. I went to Apple TV instead for my tv/movie needs and a USB cord for my big screen presentations with my iPad. Sorry that's all I know.

It will work if you have the adapter's version 3, 4 or 5. You can download the Windows 7 driver from here: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=4896

I have all available Windows and Dell updates on my Dell Inspiron Windows 8 machine, and it does not work consistently. Most of the time it hangs when you try to access a disk. Couldn't write to discs using ImgBurn. I flashed my Bios once to the same version I had, and it worked until I rebooted. After flashing the Bios again, it didn't work. Works perfectly on my Windows 7 machine. The package says the unit is only compatible with XP and Windows 7.

It works on my Dell Laptop. There was no download or anything. I simply put it in the USB slot and it works. I am using a fairly new Dell but it is Windows 7

I had Win7 Pro x64 installed when I first used this adapter. I plugged it in and setup the driver, no problems. Later upgraded to 8 & 8.1. Check that your USB port isn't an issue? Try another port maybe. I used a 2.0 USB port.

I use mine on a Dell running Win 8.1 (as well as a Toshiba and a Lenovo, both running Win 7) and it works fine. All systems found the driver on the first try.

When I ordered my power adapter the description said it worked with all Dell laptop models. It worked just fine with the Dell Laptop I had, which was an older model. Hope this helps.

I have the USB version of this adapter and am running Windows 8.1. It works fine but does require that the drivers be installed from StarTech. Once I downloaded and installed the latest drivers, I have had no issues with the adapter. One thing to also consider is they recommend updating your display drivers to the latest version. Make sure you do that as well.

Yes. It seems so. I usually use it with W8 but because of your question, I set it up on my Dell Inspiron and it works just fine.

Carlos,I connected this device to a Windows 7 computer. Don't have an answer for your Windows 8 question. Sorry for not being able to help.BTW, the device works perfectly with my machine. Could not be happier.

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.

Mary, this is Mark. I was trying to edit one of my earlier posts and accidentally deleted them all. I looked up your system and there are many driver updates for your system. go to this site:http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-17r-n7110?dgc=IR&cid;=259428&lid;=4647851Click the "analyze system for updates" button and let it scan your computer. It should then give you a list of the updates you require. Once you do this feel free to call me and I'll walk you through the rest. 702-817-4914

Sorry for the delay. We are using this adapter to connect a VGA monitor to an HDMI port on a computer running MS-Windows. It should connect any VGA monitor to an HDMI port on your Dell laptop. The device is working well for us.
