will it work with windows 8.1

Yes. That's what I primarily use it with. In fact, I actually use it seamlessly and interchangeably with several of my computers which are running different operating systems which are Windows 8.1, Vista, XP, and even with my iMac which runs the latest Apple operating system. I didn't have to do anything. It just plugged and played on all of them. My specific sequence was that I plugged into my Vista machine, and just dragged files over and that was all. All my computers started reading and writing files into the drive with no issues including the iMac. It didn't matter wether it was connected to a USB 3.0 or 2.0 . I don't know if the drive had any on-board software for archiving or security because I didn't use it. Also, my drive came with only one cable which looks like a regular USB cable except its compatible with both 3.0 and 2.0 and has no problem drawing whatever power it needs from either without any issues. I am very pleased with it.

It has worked with my Windows 8.1. I don't know whether it is finicky about the age of the computer, since mine is only a year old.

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

I have Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, and it works just fine. I plugged in the USB and it was off and running. As to Windows 8.1, I would say it should, but I cannot honestly say yes with 100% assurance.

8.1 is just the upgrade of Windows 8 so should it should work. Just make sure if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit OS when you download the driver

it works on Windows 8.0 but haven't tried with 8.1. I assume it should work with 8.1 as well.

I have Windows 7 and it works fine for me. I think it should also work for Window 8.1 too.

It works with Windows 8.1 but you need to manually install some runtime components in order to get them to work. They have to be run manually.

Yes I am using it with Windows 8.1. Just make sure to download the software from Microsoft after installing so it works right.
