Will it work on a computer with Windows 8? I just bought a usb and it was not compatable with Windows8 that is why I ask.

, I have a windows 7 and it works well. I cannot say whether it will work with an 8. Sorry.

I have been using it on Windows 8 with no problems. It should run better on Win8 since Win8 probably has newer USB 3 drivers for your USB 3 device in your computer.

I have it working on XP and read that it will work with Windows 7 (only on a 32 bit formated computer). I'm doubtful of Windows 8 working.

Yes will work for windows 8. Worked on mine after directly plugging in - updated drivers and has been working fine ever since.

Technically it should be compatible with Windows 8 as it uses the same drivers as Windows 7 and I have it working with Windows 7 without a problem. Windows 8 has a different, crappier shell but it should work. I am not a big fan on Windows 8 and I will not purchase it but I have worked on it.

I got it to work on Windows 7 with the drivers that come on the disk, so it should work with win 8. Drivers are a problem with this product, as the latest ones coming from the chip manufacturer don't work with it.

I purchased this for a gift for my boyfriend and he said that it should work for windows 8 there would be no reason for it not to work. Hope this helps.

Yes you can use it with Windows 8/8.1. Actually, you can use it with anything that supports USB drives. It will operate fastest with an USB 3.0 port, but is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It would probably even work with USB 1.1.

It works with Windows 8 flawlessly. There is custom software/drivers that provide firmware updates that may not be compatible with windows 8 however.

No, mine will not work with Windows 8.1 or 8 , I had to use my old windows 7 computer for it to be recognized and they give me no support for windows 8

It should work with windows 8 provided you have the necessary software. I believe this is an oem sale so software is not included. That can make it very pricey.

I use Windows 7 and have no issues. I can't see why it wouldn't work with Windows 8 as well.

I don't have Windows 8, but on the box, it says it works with Windows 8. Works well with all of my computers (XP, Vista, Windows 7).

I've had no problems with Windows 8. You have to plug it into the usb port and install the drivers from the disk

I haven't tried it, but it will likely work with Windows 8. Although, I am unsure if there are drivers made for it. So it is not guaranteed. I'd get a newer model though.
