As long as you have the V2 of that adapter it should work on Windows 7, 8, or 10. You might want to try the latest manufacturer driver even though it should be plug and play. You can get the driver HERE, which is an 82MB download so not too large.

If you have already installed that latest driver, download THIS free wireless analyzer tool to see if you have significant interference from other overlapping channels.

One other thing to try that's easy is to try a different USB port for the adapter.
