Can anyone authoritatively answer whether this product works under Windows 8.1? And do I have to jump through a lot of technical workarounds?

Do not know if it will work with 8.1 but do not recommend it for any platform.

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.

Don't know if it works 8.1. Works fine on windows 7. It has software on disk and runs from USB port.

I'm running Windows 8.1 on mine and it works great. Also, you might want to try Windows 10 technical preview.

I loaded it without problems on my 8.1 laptop but it gives me problems when I try to sync it with the software. I cannot find any place that says that the software is 8.1 compliant, so I would say "no, it doesn't work with Win 8.1".

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

It worked fine for me. I use it with Windows 8, with the 8.1 update. I don't think it is an issue with everyone.

It works extremely well in Windows 7, but I have no experience with Windows 8.1. I suggest you check out the specs on line before you buy it.

Yes this item works outside of Windows 8.1 and will work for the application you asked about.

It works. Probably works better with windows before 8.1. Getting driver to install on 8.1 is a problem for some reason. This is a GREAT Unit however, small and great picture once you get it installed. Newer version of the machine are probably even better but this one works OK.

I found out that I have Windows 7 and it work for me. So it should work for Windows 8.1

I tried also with Windows 7 and it would not work. I went to Windows 8.1 and it is very fast!

Works well with Windows 8... We haven't done the 8.1 upgrade yet. Heard there were some issues with it.
