Does this work on windows 8?

Yes it does. This is far from my first choice though. Sure, this one has the snazzy backup feature, but to me that has not proved a key factor. I can backup easy and fine with the regular thumb drive. But, while I have one and it works I find I much prefer the low profile thumb drives. I use thumb drives "A LOT" and longer thumb drives like this are prone for accidental bumping which torques it and can then damage the drive or worse the receptacle USB port, which is especially bad if on a laptop. If you has USB 2, my first choice would be "SanDisk Cruzer Fit 64GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive- SDCZ33-064G-B35" for $27.58. If you have USB 3 then my first choice changes to the newer "SanDisk 64GB CZ43 Ultra Fit Series USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ43-064G-G46)" for $42.20 + $4.99 shipping. These prices were found 9-16-2014 on Amazon. If you are not worried about the little extra money, get the USB 3 one, because it will work fine with USB 2 while being ready and able to handle the faster USB data speeds. I have tried lots of USB thumb drives but I keep coming back to SanDisk as my favorite. You might also consider this "elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader -Works up to 32GB- (Black)" or something like it, giving you the low profile USB interface while using a MicroSD or MicroSDHC card.

I've not used it on Win 8; only Win 7, but certainly it should work on Win 8.

It does work on Windows 8. I cannot remember the issue at the time, but I did have to call tech support for a fix. Windows 8 was brand new at the time and whatever the problem was, it was a quick fix and I suspect it's already been updated.

Yes, it works fine on Windows 8 (that's what I run). There's no difference in performance between using it on Windows 8 or 7.

It should work with windows 8. I run windows 7 so im not 100% confident but from what I have heard no one has complained about it not working on 8.

I do not have it installed on a Windows 8 system. I have it installed on a Windows 7 system. There should be no problem installing it on a Windows 8 system. It should work fine.
