will this work with Windows 10

Yes, the USB External Floppy Disk Drive will work with W10.

I have an old ms money program on 1.44 floppy that i want to install on windows 7. think it will work? thanks!

You might not be able to install the program. If the program is old enough, windows may not support it. (32-bit windows will have no problem. 64-bit windows won't run 16-bit windows apps.) This of course also depends on if the disks are still readable as well.

Hi, cam i re write cds , music, data, dvds ?

No, this is a floppy disk drive, not CD/DVD drive.

so, I used the device twice, the third time it lit up then the light went out and that was it, did I get a reject? I think so.

Doesnt Work with Win11 *updated review*

Wont read any floppy disks. * updates, originally, I went right for blaming this product, but it wasn't its fault. I was trying to perform a task this wasn't designed for. Notes: PC 3.5-inch HD floppies (1.44 MB) use MFM encoding, 512-byte sectors, 2:1 interleave, and 300 RPM rotation standardized for MS-DOS/Windows. Apple IIGS 800K disks employ GCR encoding (more efficient but proprietary), 512-byte logical sectors with 4:1 interleave, variable rotation speeds (zoned), and unique track headers/sync patterns. I wanted to create floppy disks for the Apple machine, but didn't stop and think before I acted, and physical hardware limitations are what got in my way. This device works great for MFM but not GCR. That was my mistake.
