Does the drive work with Windows 8.1?

While I do not use Win 8.1, USB is supported across OS platforms as an independent standard. The file system formatting is FAT32, again recognized across Windows variants, including 8.1, and Unix variants, such as Linux, OSX, IOS, Android. Encryption is done in hardware with the PIN entry mechanically entered on the device before the computer ever sees it. You will not have a problem with Win 8.1 if any other USB device works.

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.

Good question. I. Have Used Apricorn. Aegis hard drives and thumbdrives with windows 8 so I don't see why it wouldn't work with usb 2 and 3. Just make sure your south bridge drivers are current on the motherboard. It should work no matter what

The drive may not be formatted or formatted with the right file system, you can check that in disk management or the drive could be bad but most likely needs correct format. I just tested mine with my Windows 8 laptop and it works fine.

I don't know if it will work with 8.1 but I do know that I made a mistake in purchasing this disk drive. Don't buy it. Pay just a little more and get a different model/brand.

It worked with Windows 8 so I it should work with 8.1 since its far more stable.

The download works. I can't say the same for 8.1. But the download will run as well as anything can on that version of Windows.
