After reading some of the negative reviews I was a little reluctant to purchase this item. However, I had a request from a friend to transfer slides to DVD and I didn't want to invest too much money in something I don't get many requests for. I mainly do video transfers. But I thought why not? First off I use Windows XP for all transfers to computer and then use Windows 10 for the render and finalization. So I haven't tried using this for any other operating system except Windows XP. That being said it worked like a charm. The only thing you must keep in mind as I found out the hard way, don't rush the job on slides. I did and the device didn't capture a single one of my 185 slides. I was moving the manual slider too quickly before the device could save the image to the computer hard drive. So I started over and spent at least another hour of my time capturing the 185 slides I needed to do the job. Other than that this thing works splendidly for a $32 device. Remember, there is no viewer on the device itself. If you want a viewer then spend upwards of $60 to maybe $150 for a top notch device. But if you're like me, someone who only gets a request occasionally for slide production then go with this machine. You won't be disappointed.
