It works on my Windows 8.1 Acer computer, but I get an error code on my Dell Inspiron Windows 7 laptop. It says it doesn't recognize the USB device.

You may have to load the device driver from the disk that is included, although I did not have to with the two windows 7 computers I used it on. Both of those computers were connected to the internet and could just download the driver from the internet without using the disk.

I don't recall an error message but occasionally i had to unplug one of the computer USB cables to computer to recognize the switch if it had been connected to the other computer at the previous session, that is pressing the A or B switch did not give a print output.

I use it on Win 8.1 with the USB connection, it works fine. I haven't tried it over the network.

It should be compatible USB is generic and it is USB 2.0 so windows 8.1 will be compatible because USB drivers will be generic hope i helped

It automatically loads it's drivers and is usable on both my Dell and HP laptops. There are USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 version ports. I've had other USB sticks that will work in one version of the port and not another. Look into that being the problem.

Worked fine for windows 7 and all my devices I have work on 8.1. I'm going to assume it works.

It will work with Windows 8 but it's not guaranteed to work with Windows 8.1 without loading the latest driver.

It does work with Windows 8.1. But I had to purchase a USB 3.0 PCI card for my computer, cause for some reason it didn't like the USB 3.0 that was build into my motherboard. Black magic makes good products. But call the company to make sure your computer will work with it.

I've used mine on several computers, running windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. They all recognize it. Just need a working USB port.

I'm using it with Windows 8.1. It'll work but it will tell you it needs to download some software i.e. drivers from Microsoft first.

I have personally used it on Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1, it worked on all of these. Additionally, all USB devices are supposed to be plug and play with all Windows OSes.

I had mine working on windows 7 and it worked fine. I'd say give it a try since there is no download to get it to work, it just connects in the USB. I really enjoy it!

Considering Windows 7 sees this device and installs drivers automatically, and that Windows 8.1 is based on Windows 7 architecture, I would guess that this device would work with Windows 8.1. However, being that I only have Windows 7 and not Windows 8.1 I can not be absolutely 100% sure. Only 85% sure that this device would work with Windows 8.1. Hopefully this answers your question.

This works with both my ASUS laptop and Dell laptop. I did have to download a different driver for the ASUS - but since I installed the new driver, I have had no problems with either laptop.

In my experience it is. I'm running windows 8.1 and after plugging in the USB, in a matter of seconds, the device was recognized and ready for use. Couldn't be any easier.

Yes, it works. My Dell Latitude "System" displays 'Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System' and says the USB is running at 'high speed'. I believe this is a USB 3 port.

Sherry, this is a certified USB 2.0 device (compatible with USB 1.1). If you have a certified 2.0 (or 1.1) port on your &lt;insert computer name here&gt;, then yes it will work.
