does this cable work with windows 8? The original one I have does not. One touch says I need a new cable that is compatible with windows 8.

One Touch ought to be authoritative if you got the right level of tech support. On the other hand I would not have thought that the properties of a serial cable would have changed between Windows 7 and Windows 8? You ought to seek confirmation of One Touch Advice from a Windows Tech forum.

Works fine with WIN7. I don't think it's the cable. Be sure that the cable is a USB Data sync cable and not a USB audio cable. Also, could be that you may need WIN8 drivers for OneTouch software.

I do not know about 8 per se, but mine works with server 2012, which is based on 8.

Unfortunately, I am a MAC user and only use Windows 7 in VM Fusion. I have not upgraded to Windows 8, so my apologies in not being able to let you know if it works. Theoretically, it should work with every system because it is only a serial data transfer cable. Probably more of a driver problem for Windows 8. Sorry I could not be more help.

I'm running Windows 7. Frankly, I don't know what difference a version of Windows makes when it comes to a simple cable. The only reason I needed it in the first place was to access the plug-in on my meter. And, I didn't buy THIS cable from OneTouch. Sorry I'm not of much help.

I am using this with Windows 7. And, Windows automatically installed the drivers when I plugged the infra-red sensor into one of the USB ports. If Win 8 is not doing this, try plugging it into a different USB port. If Win 8 is asking for the drivers, then the device may not be compatible. I recommend contacting the manufacturer. Pam

Sorry... I'm using it on a older computer and it's working right... It shows no reason why it would not work on Windows 8. But I have not witnessed the facts of that so I am not eligible to say yes.

Mine works perfectly with Windows 8. I have had no problems on any version of Windows.

I recently buy it, I have Win8 and Win 8.1, I connect it via DVI to HDMI, but the touch does not work in any of the two operating systems, Did I miss something ? Please Hep !!!!

Hi Craig, You are absolutely right to ask if it works in Windows 8.1 since there are several devices not supported. What I know is that for Windows 8 this device works well and for Windows 7 works great. I strongly suggest only use devices that specs says that Windows 8.1 is supported specially for 64 bit. Regards...

I had the same problem using Win 7-64. I returned it. I purchased another one, it worked for 5 days then stopped. I returned it. Not worth the price seeing you have to keep paying to ship it back. Try another brand. Now I'm waiting to upgrade to Win 8 until I can afford a better monitor because you really need a touchscreen with windows 8.

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

I'm interested in the answer to this question as well. Specifically does the touch capability work on BOTH monitors? In my case it would be on a Win 8.1 system.

I'm sorry, I didn't see your question until today. I don't know about windows 8.1, but this cable didn't work at all for me. My radio just freezes as soon as I insert the cable. :-( Cheers!

Because it did not work with windows 8. You will have to ask the manufacturer why it does not work.

I talk to etekcity directly and they said it does work for windows 8 but not windows 8.1 or higher. If you like my response please follow TwistedSaiyan on twitter and like us on facebook and subscribe to us on YouTube because we are apart of a special beta test program with Etekcity.

The cable is USB as far as Windows is concerned, so XP, 7, 8, doesn't matter. All work. You have to get the software from OneTouch website. It's a free download. That's when the OS matters, and yes, their software runs on XP, 7, and 8.

How did you get it to work with Windows 8? Mine won't :( and I wish it would!
