Does this work with Windows 8.1? I have a Lenovo Yoga 2, will I need any kind of additional software, or is it a plug and play?

No, I never got the blue ray drive to work. With my Lenovo G505s which is windows 8.1. I recommended buying a name brand one, and one that comes with software. This one does not come with software.

It's running fine on my win 8.1 computer. To do any copying of cds/dvds/blurays, or to watch movies of these, you will need separate software though. None is included.

I have Windows 8.1, and it works properly (I don't have the touch screen, though, so I'm not sure how that would respond).

I used the ( downloaded) manual from Internet, however when I put Windows 8.1 on my laptop recently it did not work anymore as it did before using Windows 8. Contacted IOGEAR and they wrote me they are working on a solution to let it run on Windos 8.1 as well, to be expected in March. Succes and if you have any futher questions please do not hesistate.

We use it with Win8.1 with no issues. Our laptop took it and picked up other devices quickly.In any event, customer support is a great help if you have issues. We had with a Win 7 PC and they solved quickly. Good product, recommend it.

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 don't know about the 8.1. I used it on a ideapad Lenovo laptop with Win 8.

It doesn't happen all the time for me, but occasionally. The computer thinks it's in tablet mode. Fold the computer into tablet mode, hit the windows key then fold back to laptop mode. Works on my Yoga2.

This should not require any additional software. I do know that it works on the Win7 OS, but have not yet tried on Win8.

Yes it does work, it automatically looks for drivers so it's just like a plug and play type device. However, I have not tried signing forms with this using windows 8.1 I still have to try that out and see if it works or not.

Ashley: Not on a lenovo IdeaPad running Windows 8.1 I had to return the product (no hassle with the return). It would not play CD, DVD movies or allow software downlaods from DVD. I ordered Generic USB Exterenal CD-WR / DVD-WR Drive that been working great since March 2014.

Tested OK with Windows 7. Don't know about Windows 8.1. Check DB Web site if they have driver before buying it.

I haven't tested it on Windows 8.1, but I'm going to assume that it will because it's Plug and Play. I was surprised that it worked on my Nvidia Shield running Android 4.3 with no problems. You can always download drivers from Windows 8.1 or windows update should find the drivers for you.

I do have Windows 8 installed (not 8.1) and works fine. I believe it will have no problem working on 8.1 either.

In my experience, in works on all Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 64bit. Not sure about 8 or 8.1 The drivers are available from their website, but the one I bought functioned like a plug and play. Very easy. I'm sorry to hear that others had trouble.

Yes, it works with Win 8.1. There seem to be no problems with it on the update system.

I do not have the yoga, but I have the Microsoft surface pro 2, and it works just fine. I actually had the cord before I went tablet shopping and wanted to make sure it worked for anything I was looking at, which included the yoga 2. It should work fine.
