Has anyone got windows 8.1 to work correctly on this?

I have not had a problem, I love this computer and I so far like windows 8 but it takes time and patience

I actually don't even have Windows 8 on it anymore. One day it randomly crashed, then wouldn't let me play any videos. Then after that it stops letting me connect to wifi at all. Then it pretty much wouldn't let me load anything. I formatted my drive completely, reinstalled Windows 8 and it was still doing it. I ended up just putting Ubuntu on it.

Make sure you run ALL the SW updates (including BIOS) and Windows updates before updating to 8.1. It will take a few reboots and rechecking updates. When you are sure you are done with all required updates, go to Windows App store and download 8.1 update (very slow) to install. It works fine if you follow this instruction posted on Samsung.

Tried installing 8.1 and it failed to boot afterward. Microsoft said restore factory image and try again...I restored from system image taken right before I tried upgrade or everything would have been lost. Black screen they thought was video driver problem with 8.1. They did say "the new f8 key is now shift f10 since it has new features for advanced startup mode". They also said if 8.1 fails to start up but you keep trying more than than 5 or 6 times it "should" roll back the 8.1 install. I also found out that restore point is by default turned off in win 8 so turn that on too. Bottom line back up everything BEFORE attempting upgrade or else...

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.

Hasn't worked for me, but it may not be because of Windows 8...I am unsure.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works fine. Have had this scanner for several years and it is amazing.

Yes I am using it with Windows 8.1. Just make sure to download the software from Microsoft after installing so it works right.

Nope! No issues. I upgraded to Windows 8.1...and for the first time in my life I actually kind of love Windows. The Twist was made for Windows 8.1.

Was a tad bit wonky on first use. After I installed the driver/config software it work okay. What OS are you using? I am not sure if it is completely Win 8/8.1 compatible.

Now that I've figured out that I actually do have Windows 8.1, guess the next thing to do is try to make Encore work on it. Nothing really to lose by trying. Just need a LOT of time with nothing to do to prepare for all contingencies and emergencies.

It worked fine for me. I use it with Windows 8, with the 8.1 update. I don't think it is an issue with everyone.
