I have several Lacie external drives and plan to buy two more now. They work fine on my XP computer.<br />
However one of my PCs already runs windows 7 and I will soon reformat and install windows 7 on the XP machine.<br />
<br />
I have seen from some fora that there may be compatibility issues with lacie / windows 7, and i see that windows 7 is NOT mentioned on the list of OS in some of the adverts . &nbsp;Hard to believe that window 7 would NOT be catered for, at least &nbsp;through a driver download, but am reluctant to buy without advice.<br />

many thanks,<br />

lacie external drive [in]compatiblity with windows 7

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
