Must the CD Software/Drivers be installed to work with Windows 8.1?

It works just fine with Windows 7 without installing anything so it will probably work for Windows 8.1. To get all the functionality you're supposed to install the drivers off the cd, but I never have. As is, it does everything I want and works the same way I'm used to. I use it mostly for uploading/downloading from my phone and talking to my Lego robot which uses com port emulation across the Blue Tooth connection.

Yes. Get the kind that goes into the flash drive slot. The driver will be loaded automatically and you should be able to use. See if you can get Windows 8.1 upgrade. You'll love it

Yes, should be no problem, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers.

It was stated in comments that it works with win 8 and to install drivers, but its my understanding this is plug and play with no available drivers.

Properly drivers mismatch during window 8.1 update. It happened to my usb devices also

It means that Windows 8.1 will work on it - no, it does not come with a Windows 8.1 CD - so you *do* have to actually purchase Windows 8.1 then install it.

I installed it on a computer windows 8.1, 64-bit yesterday. It seems to be working correctly.

Yes, I have windows 8.1 and it works just fine...but I did have to look on YouTube in order to learn how to install it correctly since it is a little different then the instructions it come with for older forms of windows, but still really really simple and it works great

Yes for Windows 8.1 64 bit. Windows will install driver and then it will be updated with Windows Update.

While Windows 8 is not listed, it should work with Windows 8.1 I briefly tested it and it required the disk in the drive to work.

Hello Xavier, The PESA236 for Window 8.1 should work with Windows 7 drivers. Under device manager, is there a yellow exclamation mark for the product? Can you try downloading the drivers manually. To do so, have the cd in, under device manager, right click our product with the yellow exclamation mark and press update drivers. Click browse for drivers, and go to the path to your cd rom drive. Then follow the installation path for the drivers as the manual says. Please get back to us on whether or not this has fixed the problem. Best Regards, Koutech Customer Support

Win8 drivers were not included on the disk. I would assume not at this time.

I do have Windows 8 installed (not 8.1) and works fine. I believe it will have no problem working on 8.1 either.

There is a driver for Win 8.1 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064 )

Yes. I have installed one in a windows 8 PC, and in fact I didn't even need to install the drivers from the CD provided. I tested after installing.
