• Yes, you should be able to for as long as the backup drive has been formatted with NTFS. This is what the primary drive format is used with Windows 7 and Vista.

• You should be able to. I use it with windows 8, windows 7 and XP, so it should also work with Vista.

• Yes, you can use this same drive with multiple computers. In fact, I reformatted my laptop and changed the name when reformatting. Seagate thought that it was a different computer and automatically made a new backup folder for that computer name.

• Yes, the drive will show up in either one when you plug it in. Just plug it into the USB port and it will show up under My Computer. Works with both versions of Windows.
