Actually, no. I have two of these...one on a Win7 box and one on a Vista box and both work fine with the stock windows drivers.

The drivers will be install automatic once that you put the receiver into your PC.

You don't need software for using the external driver. Windows has its own set of drivers for this hardware. If, however, you have a specific need, then yes, you may have to purchase some software. Hope this helps.

I was plug and play for me. Don't need to install from CD. Windows 7 driver should work fine.

From what I have seen online you have to instal the drivers manually but here's the link to a seven minute youtube tutorial showing you how. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sCnbmjG_h90

No software to install. Windows will install default drivers and then go to the internet to find updates and correct drivers. It takes a minute or two to complete.

Yes it comes with a Driver disc. You will find up to date drivers on this page http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1376 in a zip file. There is also instructions on how to install in Windows 8 on that page also. Just click on the floppy icon to the right side of the title Windows 8.

the user name and license keys should be on the box that the external drive came in also their is a small disc that says driver on it should be included in your box with the external drive. I installed mine a year ago so don't remember exactly how that goes now but all the information that you need is in the box or on the box to get this to install.

Beyond a doubt. Windows 8 installed the driver immediately. This is a great drive. You'll love it.

I have two of them running on Windows 8. Plug and play. No need to download drivers.

I have used a different computer to download the driver to a memory stick and then installed it on the other computer. Hope this helps. I'm definitely not a techie. Williebugs

Yes it does, but if you are running it on a windows machine, windows should grab the driver through Windows Update.

Did you connect the USB cable also? You need the USB and the drivers that are installed with it.

The drivers you need to install depends on what hardware you are connecting to it. If you are using Microsoft Windows, and enable automatic update and/or manually check system updates, it will install all the latest updates to your existing drivers portfolio.

Yes, you can download the driver set. Windows 7 and higher and later Linux builds should have the driver pre-installed. It was even plug and play on my RPi with wheezy.
