will this hub work with windows 8.1?

Yes it most definitely will! I am using Windows 8.1 with mine. Make sure you hook it up to a USB 3.0 port (if you have one). If not, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. It just wouldn't transfer data as fast.

Works fine with my Acer Aspire one. Not sure about Windows 8.1, but it worrks good with Windows 7. Hope it helps.

I tried it on windows 8.1 it does not work with 3.0 usb ports because it's a 2.0 usb that is the issue I ran into.

Yes it will work with Windows 8.1 and Windows 7/8 etc. Your problem is that these H540's will NOT work on a USB 3.0 port, unless you plug it into a USB 2.0 hub that is plugged into that USB 3.0 port. Often modern PC's have some USB 3.0 ports AND some USB 2.0 ports, so you might have to hunt for the USB 2.0 port. Often USB 3.0 ports are pink if you look closely, and USB 2.0 ports are either black or blue. Still I like these very much, and go thru trouble to plug them in via a USB 2.0 hub (like a $5 USB 2.0 hub), to make them work. Same thing on 2 of my 3 computers I've tried them on.

Yes, you just need a USB port. It doesn't matter what the operating system is. I hope this helps. I am very happy with my hub.

I don't know about the 8.1. I used it on a ideapad Lenovo laptop with Win 8.

Yes it is compatible ..... you do need 2 usb ports available but an expansion hub can be purchased for under $10 if needed ..... I've used mine on 2 laptops running win 8 (32 and 64 versions) and both had no problems

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)

Yes, it's just a standard hub with a built in USB-To-Ethernet adapter. It's worked on everything I've ever tried it on.

it works on Windows 8.0 but haven't tried with 8.1. I assume it should work with 8.1 as well.

I use it with Windows 8.1, but I did have to muck around with my USB 3.0 drivers before it would work properly. It was a pain, but that was a while ago... maybe it's better now. Here's my experience: http://benjamin.eavey.com/2013/02/windows-8-usb-3-docking-station-hell/

I use it with my Asus T100 Transformer tablet which has Windows 8.1 and it works flawlessly. Have my HP printer plugged in, wireless mouse, and cell phone all at once

I use it on Win 8.1 with the USB connection, it works fine. I haven't tried it over the network.

Yes, and I currently use it with Windows 8.1 as well with no issues. It should work with all versions of Windows.

This hub is USB 3.0 and backwards compatible with earlier versions of USB. It is plug and play with Windows 8.1 64 bit (which I run). Just plug it into a USB port, power it up and it works. The card you are running is irrelevant. It plugs into a USB port.

Yes, I have Windows 8.1 and it works fine. It automatically installed drivers, no hassle.
