Can this adapter be used on the PC with Win8? Thanks

Hi, this adapter has an ASIX 88772A USB to Ethernet chip inside. Go to the ASIX's website and download the latest driver for it. I have used it with Win 8.1 with latest ASIX drivers with no problems at all.For windows (or OS X for that matter) there are cheaper options that work equally well and use the same Ethernet chipset:Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter for Macbook, Chromebook, Windows 10, 8.1 and Earlier, Surface Pro, Wii, Wii U, Linux (ASIX AX88772 chipset)

This has worked with no issues for the 1st two times. It never worked later. Highly disappointed with this product. I bought it thinking it was a legit product.

I use Windows 7 so I can't really say from experience. I assume it would be compatible with Win 8 since it says so on the official page - just have to install the drivers that it comes with.

Yes, I have used it with my Win 8 laptop too. Its just like any other USB drive.

I don't see why it would not work. We have an HP laptop, running Win 7 and this USB adapter worked great. I also use a USB video adapter on my desktop computer where I have 3 monitors. With these USB adapters, you can add several to your computer if you'd like.

Yes it is compatible with Win 8. The cable you will need Is a standard computer cable which only has a USB connector on the computer side. The printer side has a standard printer connector which is not USB.

I don't have Windows 8 but a quick search using Google shows it is compatible....

I use win7 and my gotU 120 works just fine but I don't see why it shouldn't work with win8.

Yes...It should be although I haven't tested it on Win 8...When you use it as a network device it works on all recent windows release since you will be configuring it differently...

It works with Windows 7, but not sure about Win 8. You may find more at their website (see link below). The exact part number is VCG84512SPPB.http://www3.pny.com/font-color9999998400-GS-512MB-PCI-Low-Profile-P2679C396.aspx

Yes, I have it working fine with Win 8.1 x64, it was completely plug and play. I've only been using them for a week, but I am impressed so far.

I have the USB version of this adapter and am running Windows 8.1. It works fine but does require that the drivers be installed from StarTech. Once I downloaded and installed the latest drivers, I have had no issues with the adapter. One thing to also consider is they recommend updating your display drivers to the latest version. Make sure you do that as well.

Don't see why not but I have no idea if that application is compatible with Win8 or not so if this is a deal breaker I'd check with MS
