We just replaced an Epson Perfection 1640SU with the V300. The old would work with Win 7 unless we puchased a 3rd party driver for $40. The V300 loaded and automatically downloaded the drivers for Win 7. It works very well. The only minor negative is the placement of the USB and power cords which are on the side as opposed to the back. This probably won't be a big problem for most people.

Did you ever find out if it would load on Windows 7. I have an Epson Perfection 2450 and upgrade to Win7 and I cannot get it to work. Loved the scanner.

Yes, it works.I purchased the Epson V300 scanner Sept 2010, and I use it with my Windows 7 Pro (64-bit). No hassles. The software CD I received with the scanner had the correct Win 7 drivers on it, but if you can also download the latest scanner drivers from epson.

I have a Laptop with Windows 8.1 and had it on my desktop and the scanner works perfectly with both windows 8 and also windows 7. The scan speed is fast and flawless. Robert Madison, proud owner of the CanoScan 5600F

umh... I'm not sure. I use windows 7 and I have no problems.you can try and download the software from the canon site and see if it works there, though it should.the scanner alone should work, since it installs the driver once you plug it in to the pc. After that you can use any scanning softwares, or programs that allow to import images via scan.good luck o>

Hello Wesley,Yes and no. You see there are MAC drivers for this scanner however if you are referring to the free software that comes with this scanner then, no, it does not work with a MAC computer. You see the free software is a Windows logon software only. Can you confirm what software you are trying to use?Thank you

I have Windows 7 and it has been working fine for my setup. I was excited to try it out and just plugged it in and used it, although later when I read the instructions I was a little mortified to see that it was only compatible with Windows Vista and no mention of Windows 7, but it still worked fine. Must've been either a printing error, or maybe I just got an earlier version, but if you go onto the Bluemic website (http://www.bluemic.com/icicle/) , it will specifically say what operating systems are compatible, and Windows 7 is one of them.

No, it does not work with Windows 10. So far, from what I can tell, none of the CanoScan work with Windows 10, as they all use the same Cannon driver, which is totally worthless. After spending hours deleting and installing new drivers, software, etc. it simply will not work. If you have Windows 10, find another scanner other than a Cannon as their drivers just don't work. I'm on Amazon now looking for a new scanner that will work with Win 10, which sucks because this scanner works great on my old Win 7 laptop.

We have 3 of these scanners on Windows 7 laptops. They have worked extremely well!

Yes it works with Windows 7. Here at work we are using it on a Windows 7 system and we have not had any issues with it running in Windows 7.

Just upgraded to Windows 7 and the scanner is not compatible. I hate that. This is a great scanner. I've used it for 10 years, and I'd still use it now if it were compatible.

Although I'm not using Windows 8, it works fine on WindowsXP and Windows 7. Can't imagine why it won't run on Win8. As a sidebar, of the 20 or so scanners we've used, this is by far the best. The software provided is also excellent.

Hi, As much as I've used my scanner it has always only worked when connected to my computer. I have the portable model and I'm not sure how the desktop works.

Yes, it works on Windows 7. The unit itself has a USB for your computer, you install the software and then connect the scanner. I recommend this, it worked great with my negatives and the slides.

NO! it does not work with windows 7. It wont print out legal size. All options are there but it won't print this size. Very frustrating and their is no one will help is solving this issue. Driver is installed automatically from win7 but is not correct.

Yes - it can. BTW - if you're buying a used scanner, be aware of the lack of support for Windows 7. With XP it works well.

Nope. I've used this scanner with Windows 7, Windows 8 after upgrade from 7, MS Surface with Windows 8 and MacBook Air. All work well. No problems at all. I love my Scansnap.

This will definitely work with Windows 7. I have these scanners installed on approximately 45 windows 7 professional machines.

It works on both. I have it connected to one using Windows 7 Professional now. I had it on a desktop using Windows 8. It is a very nice and fast scanner.
