• I just ordered 3 of them and it does NOT work with windows 7. Thought I could use a work around so I was trying to move files over the network from my Windows 7 machine to my windows 10 laptop and at 4 MBs it was showing over a day to transfer just under 800 GB. I have 15 TB to move so probably take 2 weeks. Not worth the headache

• It works on my windows 7 pro fine for many years now. And my copy of windows is a cracked copy from a torrent. It is formatted as ntfs. I never really even new there was suppose to be an issue. And by the way. My Passport was an ebay special but was verified by myself with a fake flashdrive detector. Looks like i had all the odds stacked against me but still came out on top. .
