Does it work with Windows 8?

I have it installed in a Dell Desktop initially running Windows 8 and now running Windows 8.1 as the boot drive.

Works great with windows 8. It loads before my monitor completely wakes up!

I can use it as an E: drive, just cant make it work as a C: drive. The problem is with the Partition style, which u can find under Disk Management and by going to the C: drive Disk Device Properties....if it says it is a Partition style: GUID Partition Table (GPT), then this is NOT the drive for you if u want to make it a bootable C: drive. Kingston will just tell you to go pound sand or they will give you a refund if you want to jump thru ALL of their hoops. I spent DAYS with the Kingston Technical Dept just to find out this little bit of trivia...BTW, if you are running Windows 8 then get the 8.1 upgrade...it is free and fixes several problems.

Yes, you can either load Windows 8 on it or use it as a second drive in a Windows 8 system, as the drive uses standard device drivers. A more important issue is whether your motherboard will support getting the best speed out of the drive, and you'll have to see from the motherboard manual or the manufacturer whether it supports a solid state drive in the BIOS.

Hi Armando, I used this on Windows 7. No reason why it should not work on Windows 8.

YEs, make sure that you "mount" the drive correctly first otherwise it won't work. Suggest that TRIM be enabled as well. There should be some installation videos online as well to help you get it working.

Nope. I haven't gotten it to work on windows 8. I probably downloaded over 5 drivers still didn't work. Only windows 7 I saw it work on.

I apologize for the slow response; yes it claims to support Windows 8, though I have not personally tested it with that OS.

Yes, it works with Windows 8. I have been using it on Windows 8 for almost a year and have not had any issues with compatibility.

I'm using it with Windows 8. Haven't used it much, but has worked fine so far.

It worked with my windows 7 so yes it has to work with windows 8 as windows 7 is the base program for w8.

Yes, it will work on Windows 8. Some other users here have used it on their machines with no problem.

I know it works for windows 7 but I honestly have no idea if it works for windows 8. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I don't have windows 8 so I'm not sure but a lot of people are saying it doesn't. but windows 8.1 might work.

I use mine on Windows 7 and it works well. I haven't tried it on windows 8 yet.

Mine works perfectly with Windows 8. I have had no problems on any version of Windows.

It does indeed (and also with Windows 8.1). Doesn't require drivers for basic functionality.

It should work with windows 8 provided you have the necessary software. I believe this is an oem sale so software is not included. That can make it very pricey.

I'm using it with Windows XP and Mac OS X, I don't see why it wouldn't work with Windows 8

I haven't tried it, but it will likely work with Windows 8. Although, I am unsure if there are drivers made for it. So it is not guaranteed. I'd get a newer model though.

Yes, it works very well with windows 8 which I have. Version, I don't know-I have had it a month so it is a new version and it is the portable one, not the big one.

I am tempted to say that NOTHING works with Windows 8 ;) I have not tried it.
