Question 1

Does this work with Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I don't use windows so I can't answer that specific question but I can say the drive failed with very little use (over a period of months, but not much actual use).  Thinking it was a fluke I bought a second drive and it failed under exactly the same circumstances.  The failure in both cases was something electronic as it behaved as if it wasn't even plugged in.

Question 2

I have to plug this into the back of the computer.  How long is the cord?

Accepted Answer

22" and the cable is fixed (non-removable) to the back of the drive, so no switching for a longer one

Question 3

Is this drive internal or external?

Accepted Answer

This drive is an external drive that I bought for my workplace plug and play with windows 7.. it will hang some pc brands on boot so maybe unplug it before rebooting or powering on.

Question 4

Can this drive be used with Windows 10?  Is the driver included with purchase?  If not where is it available?

Accepted Answer

Windows 10 has no problem with this floppy drive.  It worked immediately when plugged into a USB port.  It's nice to be able to access files that I saved in 1990!

Question 5

i have a hp laptop computer and need to convert some pictures i had stored on some floppy disk awhile ago will i be able to use this ubs adapter to put my pictures an other documents onto my computer?

Accepted Answer

agreed this drive only reads the newer floppy discs. when I say new I mean it doesn't read the 20 yr old ones.  lol I believe they are 2Hd  there are older ones so if the discs don't say 2hd this won't read them

Question 6

will it play 5.3 floppy disks?

Accepted Answer

No, the USB 2.0 EXT FLOPPY DISK DRIVE has a data capacity of 1.44Mb, which indicates it is designed for 3.5-inch floppy disks, not 5.25-inch floppy disks.

Question 7

Compatible with Apple?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, but we bought only as PC accessible.
