I've got an older, wireless keyboard that's still new in the box.

System requirements say Windows XP, Vista, or 7. I bought it when I had a laptop that ran Vista, but bought a newer computer shortly thereafter and never even opened the keyboard. Do you think it will work with my Windows 10 machine?

If it worked on 7 there shouldn't be any problem. The box only says that because 8 and 10 hadn't come out yet at the time. You might have to go to the manufacturer website and download a newer driver if 10 doesn't recognize it.

It can't be that old if it lists Windows 7 in the requirements anyway, and Windows 7 drivers (if required) should work with 8 & 10.

Is it a Microsoft keyboard? I'm still using one that's probably more than a decade old and it works fine. Bluetooth should work fine too. Not sure about other types.

It is a very nice keyboard. I think I paid about $50 for it. I'm glad that it works. It's very smooth. I added a wireless mouse and now I have no wires on my computer except for the power wire. Wireless Internet, wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, and wireless printer. And it's an all-in-one Lenovo with a 21.5 inch touch screen. It's like a giant beefed-up tablet.
