Will the cable work with Windows 8?

Yes, the required USB drivers load automatically. Make certain your programming software is compatible with Windows 8.

I have not had luck using Win 8. Win7 works. Win 8 usually corrupts the SD card causing its own mess.

Edison's right on both counts. Please remember: Push the plug in firmly and screw it down (that's what those threads are for), otherwise it won't work. I think there are many who don't know this and think it's a bad cable. I did, then read a review that set me straight.

I can't say for sure since I gifted it to my brother, but I don't know why it wouldn't be since it is a USB device and is being used with a Microsoft OS. A driver for Windows 8 is available. On a personal note, it only has VGA capability and I opted for 720p. Much better picture quality.

I used on Win7. Not sure about Win8. About 6 ft long, very soft cable. Works well.

The specific microchip that was incorporated into the cable that I purchased is not compatible with Windows 8, but it is with Windows 7 and XP. The software that is provided on the CD that comes with the cable contains a program that allows you to identify the particular version of the chip in the cable so you can determine which Windows OS to use.

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.

The USB 2 and 3 specs are international standards. So yes, it will work with windows 8. The more important question is whether your computer has USB 3 ports or just USB 2. If it does not have USB 3 this will still work but you will be paying for speed that you cannot use. Check your computers specifications by looking up the model number on the vendors website, if you do not know for certain. Buy a USB hub (2.0 or 3.0) based on that.

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

Your cable will work perfectly if you download the Prolific driver from www.miklor.com and install it. Windows drivers do not work with the Prolific chip in your cable.

Hi, I'm working with this cable on a windows 7 64 bit operation system without any problem. So I think it will work!

Mine works perfectly with Windows 8. I have had no problems on any version of Windows.

Sorry I can't tell. I don't have a Windows 8 computer available to test. But based on the experience that the FTDI chipset always worked for me with all previous Windows systems I worked with woud lead me to the assumption, that it will work with Windows 8 as well.

It doesn't matter what operating system you have, so yes it should work with windows 8
