Will Windows 8 recognize this?

My guess would be a "yes." I am using Windows 7 and it is working great! I guess Windows 8 would recognize it because it works with the software you use for playing DVD, video, or CD. They remain fairly unchanged with the new windows. Wish you luck!

Yes, but my techie grandson did some additional downloading to use Dvds. From first hookup was fine with dds.

Can't tell, I used it on MAC to install Windows Home Server 2011. It is pretty standard USB 2.0.

Sorry - I don't have Windows 8 on my machine at home or at work, so I'm not able to answer your question.

We bought a unit today (a Black Friday special) and the box label indicates it is compatible with Windows 8.

Sure can. My Windows 8.1 machine automatically detected the appropriate drivers and installed them for me.

Yes. However, the software that shipped with mine did not work with Windows 8, so you'll have to find other software elsewhere, if that is your OS.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have any answers regarding your question because I haven't any experience with Windows 8.

Beyond a doubt. Windows 8 installed the driver immediately. This is a great drive. You'll love it.

Yes, it is. I use it with Windows 8 all the time. Pretty much almost everyday and it works well.

Yes. I believe it does. This purchase was a gift for a friend. She also very recently received a new computer and I'm quite sure she's running windows 8.

With quite a bit of effort, it will work with Win 8. I disabled digital signing to get it to functioning.

Yes. I don't think the software specifically states win8 but it works just fine on my laptop.
