Hello Jacqueline, If you are downloading it to start using then yes it will run with Windows 8. That was also a question I had but took my time and researched. The computer I had before it got hit by lightening and fried had this in it and that one had Vista instead of Windows. I liked how it worked and so when I had to replace the damaged computer the new one had Windows 8 in it and I did not like the word processing software that was in it and after transferring my documents to the new computer they wouldn't open which is a different problem entirely but I missed my Microsoft Works. After downloading it I have used it and it works fine. I guess I took the long way home huh? Yes it works fine with Windows 8. I love it. Have a blessed day!!!! Deborah

I am running it on Windows 7 with no problems, but haven't upgraded to 8 yet. Wish I could be of assistance

I use it on win 7 x64 , so I don't see any issue with windows 8, other than RT... which definitely will not run it(by design).

I don't have windows 8 running on my office computers. But that is a good question to ask, as soon as I can I will download that, and give it a try. I am curious about that as well, and if I am going to have a problem with my payroll software as well.

I doubt it - if it does not work on Windows 7 highly unlikely to work on 8.

I have Toshiba laptop with Window 8 and did install Microsoft office 2007 with no problems

That product is no longer supported by Microsoft so it probably will not run on Windows 8. I switched to Quicken over 2 years ago.

Yes, Windows 8.1 will run on this system. You will have to ensure you have installed all of the critical updates from Window Update, then you can install it.

No. However, this is preloaded with Window 8 platform which support MS Office softwares.

Yes. I run Windows 8 and it works fine. The scanner actually works, too, which seems rare on a value machine.

Yes.. 100%. Just run the cd right off the bat. I've never used win 8 on mine.

I have played in on Windows 8 no problem. I haven't had any games fail to run on Windows 8, for that matter; I think pretty much any game published after Vista came out runs fine on Windows 8.
