I haven't found any. I actually keep an old laptop alive just for backup which is pretty funky.

Yes. I have on hooked up to my HP dv6 (Intel) laptop that I just upgraded to Windows 8. When I connected the Dynadock, Windows looked for drivers, installed them, and then required a restart. It should work just at it worked in Windows 7 or XP. I also have a Diamond BVU195 USB Video adapter connected to the Dynadock. Both use DisplayLink technology for the Video. You cannot connect more than one Dynadock but you can connect multiple other USB video adapters to your PC or laptop. With these two adapters, I have three monitors running - the laptop display, a 20 inch monitor connected to the video on the Dynadock, and another 20 inch monitor on a Diamond USB Video adapter plugged into the Dynadock. If I wanted to, I could connect the Diamond adapter directly into a USB port on my laptop. Or, I could connect the 3rd monitor directly to the VGA port on my laptop. I have 31 pages describing hooking up multiple monitors in my book "Windows 7 Made Simple." A lot of that book is still relevant for Windows 8. The biggest changes in Windows 8 are the new tile interface, the removal of the old start button, and the burying of many of the less frequently used settings. BTW, while Windows 7 and 8 do a great job of handling the positioning and setup of multiple monitors, consider buying UltraMon. One license is good for all the computers in your household, and it offers some neat features like placing a separate desktop image on each monitor. -Kevin Otnes, author, "Your Mother Does Windows" blog, "Windows 7 Made Simple," and co-author of "Getting Started with Windows 7."

I have several AC 7260 WI-FI cards on my laptop and PC's. I discovered quickly that many laptops have have issues with limited access after sleep, and all window systems have issues with performance using Intel AC 7260. I did purchase an Azurewave AW-CE123H 802.11ac/nbg WiFi+BT for PC , and had a hardtime finding software for Windows 8. It was advertised that drivers were included in Windows 8 but found out that was not true. Searching the web I did find out one that works, but it would max speed at 300 mbs. I have not find why yet?

Yes, see http://winsupersite.com/article/windows8/windows-8-tip-create-recovery-media-144098 it also supports the new Windows 8 backup and the legacy windows 7 backup. Google each to find out the benefits of each.

I don't know about Windows 8, but after a whole lot of searching, I finally found drivers for the Palm and I was able to sync my Palm TX with my new Windows 10 laptop.

I went to this site http://www.manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/708-usb-to-serial-converter and listed under the specs you can download drivers for windows 8.

Hi AndrewThanks for answering that one. I appreciate the feedback.Would you know of which ones might work best on the Zi8?

There is no app, but unless your computer recognizes the device you would need the appropriate set of drivers. If you have a Lenovo computer you will be fine since the drivers are there. If you have another computer that is compatible with Lenovo you will be ok. Otherwise all you need to do is download the correct drivers from Lenovo and you should be good to go.

I moved my pictures from XP to windows 8 with ease. Very user friendly device and great support if needed. Should be fine!

I had no problems using it on both windows 7 and Windows 8. Both recognized the device and didn't require any drivers or software to load.

I can't be of much help yet; I bought the laptop for my Ph.D disseration in Economics and haven't yet begun to gather the tons of data I'll need. So I should find out soon. Using Windows 8 has been difficult. Totally unintuitive.

I haven't used this device since I switched to Windows 8 and the device didn't support that platform. I tried to contact for updates but gave up. Probably has the updates now. Thanks for reminding me. I will pull this out and see.

I am wondering the same....I have a Z560 Ideapad as well. Hopefully someone can confirm because my current battery is a goner.

I bought the 256GB m4 for a desktop build. I also thought of trying to put it in my Toshiba laptop, but Toshiba has a proprietary connector, so a standard connector like on the m4 wouldn't work. Otherwise I think it would. It worked great With Windows 8 Pro. Have it set up to only run programs with data stored on another drive.

Oh yea, you'll be good to go for some time. Check the Microsoft site to be sure but according to ZDNET mainstream support for windows 8.1 ends on January 9, 2018 and extended support ends on January 10, 2023. This laptop comes with the Windows 8 operating system pre installed, no CD/DVD,(you can upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free) but gives you the opportunity to make a backup/restore disk set so that if, heaven forbid, something should happen to the hard drive you can reinstall the operating system. This backup/restore disk set that you can make is specific to that particular laptop, meaning you can't use the backup/restore disks on a different pc be it a laptop or desktop. It's a good idea to make the backup/restore disk set because otherwise you'll have to dish out $100 or so for a new OEM Windows 8 disk. Hope this helps :)
