Does this product work with Windows 8?

I run Win 7 64 but it's not the OS that is the issue. I have the newest Zenbook with an Intel Core I-5, plenty of horsepower, and the latest release of Itel's widi. The product simply is not there yet. I would have gladly paid more for a product that did the job. 12 feet with line of sight is the most favorable test you can use. If it can't work in that environment, it's the product. To be fair I don't think anything is up to the task of streaming even 720p video.

Don't know, since i'm running on win7. As long as your laptop supports WIDI, it should work.

The Belkin now works fine on my Dell XPS17 64bit (an Intel i5) with Windows 8; however you MUST HAVE Intel WiDi installed on your system. That sometimes creates a problem. See the attached link for issues that needed to be resolved for WiDi. http://communities.intel.com/message/175027#175027

I tried the Belkin out using a new Dell XPS 13 laptop running Windows 8 Professional, and Intel's latest WIDI connection utility. Had no success after spending hours trying. I'd recommend waiting a couple of months until they work out the kinks in the firmware. Also, Win 8 has proven to be somewhat unstable with certain drivers - even apps like Microsoft's latest Office 2013 Pro Plus. The older Netgear WIDI adapter got pretty good reviews, but the newer replacement unit coincidentally has received horrible reviews. I'm waiting it out a few months personally. Good luck!

What type of computer do you have? This matters. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook NH532 with Windows 7 and it works fine. This computer is very capable of running Windows 8 but when I researched it, one of the very few devices that would not be compatible with Windows 8 was Intel WIDI. Also, no matter what kind of computer you are using, it must have a processor that supports Intel WIDI and you must still install the WIDI software on your computer first. Just go to Intel's website and download the most recent version. That being said, I would totally recommend this product to anyone considering it!! It is so easy and convenient, a child could use it.

I've only tried it with Windows 7, but my experience with Windows 8 says it *should* work. But you're better off checking with the seller or (better) the manufacturer.

I have only tried it with Windows 7. You would have to see if the drivers (which you have to download) are made for Windows 8.

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

I am not sure about this product if it is compatible with Windows 8, but McTiVia is a similar product that works with Windows 8.

It is compatible with Windows 7 (which I have), so I would assume that it would work with Windows 8 as well.

I have windows 7 and it worked fine with that. Do not have an answer for Windows 8. Sorry. Probably should contact the seller.

It did work with Windows 8 on my computer, just not for very long (the mouse lasted four weeks before it died). Cheers
