Windows 7: I'm thinking of purchasing the HP EX490 1TB Mediasmart Home Server (Black) and I wonder if anyone has set it up on a windows 7 ultimate 64 bit machine ?

I have a much older version, EX470 with install cd version 1.1 and I was able to install it using my windows 7 Ultimate x32 just fine. However, I was not able to do so on my other laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I think my cd version was too old.

The documentation states support for Windows 7, Vista, and Server 2008. I am running the 642L with Server 2012. There are x32 and x64 versions of the drivers, but it doesn't appear that Windows Server 2003 (which reaches end-of-life on 7/15/2015) is supported.

Yes. I have Windows 8 Professional, 64 bit. Works fine. Keep in mind it has preinstalled backup software. This worked too, but I abandoned it as I use a different backup method and didn't want more software running in the background. Good luck!

The 780 that I have is a 32-bit machine it is not necessary to have a 64 bit machine for Windows 7 pro Windows 7 pro will work on any 32-bit machine

Well, it works fine with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, so I expect it will work fine with Ultimate as well

I can install Win 7 home premium 64 bit on this computer for an additional $100. You will get official Win 7 disc dvd + COA license. Configuration + drivers install included. Please email me this request when checking out on Amazon. Thanks!

I was running one on Win7-64 and upgraded to Windows 8. It works fine. Note that you have to purchase Media Center separately for Windows 8. However, they are offering if for free with Win-8 PRO for a while.

I am currently using this with Windows 7 64 bit at work. Haven't had any issues and I use it once a week or more for web conferencing.

I've run this on a Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 Server, it's fine. What's most important is that you have a USB or SATA port to plug this into. I found USB 3.0 to be flaky in Windows, so I've switched to SATA. That means it should run on nearly anything. I've even run it on my Mac.

I only run windows 7, 64 bit version. How anything, including drives, will run on other operating systems is only confirmed by actual use on that system in my opinion.

Yes, I have had this model for a few months and use it with windows 7 64 bit. No problems, easy to use.

That is so ridiculous that you would even have to go through all of that to get it to work. I am not a techie and do not enjoy wasting my time trouble shooting all this stuff. I just need an extenrnal hardrive for my windows 7 64 bit computer. Does it have to be this difficult to get that? Can anybody help me with this?

Few servers come with an OS out of the box. Win Server 2011 is fifty bucks here. You'll also be smart to throw in more RAM. If you are not used to tearing apart PC's or working with routers and switches, this machine is on the end of the tech cycle and probably not the best toy for you, unless you want to learn a LOT.
