No it does not come with a CD. I believe your PC should be able to recognize the camera when it is attached via the USB cable. If not I would suggest you contact Sony.

It's a CD. If it's the 2013 version it works on Windows XP, which is what I have. Of course it works on Windows 7.

I don't remember if the disc came with it or not, it's been a while, sorry. If it came with, then I used it. I have Windows 7, so don't know about 8.

When I bought it several months ago Windows 8.1 was not available. I'm fairly sure 8.1 is there now if you purchase this machine.

i Paige, yes, it is compatible with Windows 8.1. Yes the software is on a disk. So far I have two devices installed with a single serial number, so I'm guessing it is unlimited like Photoshop CS 5.5 Creative Suite unlike Windows Office they limit you to install numbers of devices with their serial keys.

It doesn't come with setup disks, but Windows 8.1 walks you through setup no disk is required.

Yes this dongle works with Windows 8.1 which is what I'm using right now. You shouldn't install any software, just plug-and-play (i.e. I had issues installing the software but after calling their customer service they told me installing it is NOT good for Windows 8.1 and you have to just plug it in and use it)

No, it doesn't come with software, but that shouldn't be a problem. Windows should recognize it as an IDE drive and install the correct driver.

No, as far as I know that's only available with windows 8.1 and this has 8.

Yes, it does come on a CD, the install process is pretty easy. You will have to print out your own program manual off the PDF.

No CD came with it. Also it say it has night vision. The one I got does not have thi feature unfortunately. However, you don't need a driver and I have used it with windows 7 and it automatically installs a driver and works fine.

Well, mine came with Windows 7 installed and a disk with Windows 8, if you want to "upgrade" which I did not because older software will not work.

Yes it works with Windows 8 and 8.1. It's a great program. I use it to scan and organize my life in the cloud.
