On the box that it is "Windows 8" ready -- you might need to down the latest software from www.buffalotech.com or you may not. Does not mention 8.1 but may work.

I would assume so. Butbif your running on windows 8 your better off trying to download because the disk won't work on wind 8.1.

Yes. Get the kind that goes into the flash drive slot. The driver will be loaded automatically and you should be able to use. See if you can get Windows 8.1 upgrade. You'll love it

No, windows 8.1 is made so that all of your files will transfer over into your new os(win 8). Everything you have will be there when you're done

That is because it is not compatible with Windows 8.1 you must use a external hard drive or flash drive. that was my loss also.
