Yes, I was able to get it to work, including blu-ray movie playback, on my Surface Pro 3. To get it to read data disks, it's just a plug and play device, howver Windows 8.1 does not include any software to support playback for blu-ray movies, but this product comes with software that makes it possible. I installed some of the software that came with the product, but not all of it. I think the firmware update and cyberlink dvd are absolutely necessary to get blu-ray movie playback (you have to update the cyberlink dvd, but it didn't cost anything).

It should, you might have to update the software that comes with the device. The player should just plug right into you ultraviolet.

I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit). Now, the dock works ok at my office but when I take ultrabook home and use it without the dock I cant get wifi to connect until I uninstall the drivers. So, yes it will work (make sure you get the correct drivers from DisplayLink website 1st) but you will have issues when not using the dock..I'm debating selling mine for this reason and sticking with the connection accessories that came with the uktrabook.Great Ultrabook by the way! Shame Asus cant ensure that their docks work with the own latest and greatest! I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit).

Can verify that it works on Windows 8.1 Pro. So it should work on 8.1, as the specs state no additional drivers are needed.

Yes, it will work with Windows 8.1, I have tried it on three different Windows 8.1 systems (Lenovo yoga, Surface Pro and Asus) and haven't had any issues.

I ordered the equipment for work, and we are still on Windows 7, so I don't know if it works with Windows 8.1. I hope that's helpful. Thank you.

It worked nicely with windows 8; I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it stopped working. I am an IT guy with many years of experience but I am not able to make it to work. Still waiting for AOC to do something about it, looks like a driver issue.

Yes, and I currently use it with Windows 8.1 as well with no issues. It should work with all versions of Windows.

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm a Windows 8.1 user. It works fine with that and with Windows 7.

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

Yes, this will work with Windows 8.1. It was designed for Windows OS 7 or later.

Michael, I am using it on my new Samsung ATIV ultrabook with Win 8.1 and it is working like a champ. No trouble at all...completely automatic!

Yes, this drive works on Windows 8.1. I also use it with OSX 10.9.2, a Chromebook, and a Linux notebook running Debian.
