I used this on Windows 7 and it worked fine. I just purchased an Asus windows 8.1 and the IrDA installed immediately on connecting to a USB port. I used the IrDA to interface with a uWatec dive computer and with the uWatec dive software downloaded the dive information just fine. It worked perfectly on a windows 8.1 os computer.

I honestly don't know. I'm a Macintosh user and it works fine with the latest operating system for the Mac, but haven't tried it with Windows 8.1.

I am using it on Windows 8.1 without any issues, so it should also work okay on Windows 8.

I'm using it with Windows 8.1. It'll work but it will tell you it needs to download some software i.e. drivers from Microsoft first.

Hi Cyrstal,Yes, the device is now compatible with Windows 8 Operating System.

Hello, I know own that windows 8.1 supports mirracast and this unit has windows 8.1. Although I don't want to give you the wrong answer, I think it's best if you checked with Dell regarding this issue. I will try to find out and I will get back to you. Thank you,

I use this on Windows 8.1 with no problems. Windows actually recognized it and installed the drivers for it automatically. I just had to install Roxio for the copying and editing.
