Yes, they work great with windows 8.1. Updated drivers are available at:http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/downloads.phpI use two of these with my Toshiba Notebook with a powered 3.0 hub. Running windows 8.1 there is also a new updated driver for windows 10.Displaylink is who makes the software drivers for the chipset used in these usb monitors. The same chipset may be sold under different manufactures. The cd included with the monitors work fine with Windows 7.

I tried to install it on a Win 8.1 laptop, but the software/driver installation clearly stated that it didn't support "this operating system" and that I needed to downloaded a different driver from AOC's web site. Well, there's only one Windows driver at AOC.com and it's the same one that's on the CD. So, it's a big fat NO for Windows 8.1. (We do use these at work with Windows 7 no problem.)

It worked nicely with windows 8; I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it stopped working. I am an IT guy with many years of experience but I am not able to make it to work. Still waiting for AOC to do something about it, looks like a driver issue.

I use it as a monitor. I don't know why it wouldn't work with Win 8 but I've got it on a Win 7 computer.

Can't get it working on Windows 8.1, even with plugging in both USB cables (some ppl said it might be a power issue, but that doesn't appear to be the case).Like Paul P, I'm also in tech (about 14 years of software engineering) and can't get it working.

Yes it works with Windows 8. I used it on a Dell XPS 12 with Windows 8 and it worked exactly as advertised.

We have Windows 7, and it works fine on this. I am afraid I cannot answer for Windows 8, sorry, and good luck!

Yes, it works with Windows 8, please note that the device only calibrates the primary monitor, so if you have more than one monitor you will need to perform some additional work arounds to calibrate your second model.

It does NOT work for Windows 8, which I know from experience. It does, however, work on Windows 7.

I know it works for windows 7 but I honestly have no idea if it works for windows 8. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

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.

Yes, it works with Windows 8. I have been using it on Windows 8 for almost a year and have not had any issues with compatibility.
