If you are going to buy Photoshop Elements and have Windows 8** already on your computer, I would recommend you get the latest version of Photoshop. I believe elements 9 would work under the compatibility mode setting; but, you would not have the best or the most current version of Photoshop . There are a number of updates that make the program work much better. Best to get the latest that is written to work with the latest windows OS.

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.

I've run it on XP and Windows 7 and on both it worked fine, can't say about windows 8 as I refuse to own that thing.

I can not answer your question with 100% guarantee, but it works perfectly in Windows 7, so there should be no reason why it would not work with 8.

I have windows 8, and it works perfectly, maybe you could update your usb/chipset drivers...

It should work with windows 8. I run windows 7 so im not 100% confident but from what I have heard no one has complained about it not working on 8.

Yes, I have Windows 8 and it works great for me. It gives you the latest updates when you activate.

I have it working on XP and read that it will work with Windows 7 (only on a 32 bit formated computer). I'm doubtful of Windows 8 working.

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, The drivers you receive with package only come with drivers for windows xp, windows vista but if you have window 7 you are going to have to down load it. don't worry its easy to find. I don't now for windows 8, I'm sure there is a driver I've just never looked for it didn't need it.

I downloaded it on windows XP and Windows 7 was able to go 100%. It didnot show that it would work on windows 8.

Yes, it will. I had no problems running it on Windows 8, or the 8.1 upgrade either.

Yes but maybe not out of the box. I had issues with it on Windows 7 and 8 but with a little research and screwing around with the drivers, it will work.

I had no problems loading it to a Win 8 computer. Did it a couple weeks ago.

I can't definitively say yes. I installed it on windows 8 succesfully. People say it is not usable on windows 7 or 8 but I can say that is not the truth for windows 8, and logic dictates that the method for installing it on Windows 7 would be the same. It will not automatically find the drivers or even acknowledge it was plugged in. I had to go to the Device Manager see its error status, right click on it, choose update the driver and direct it to look at driver cd in my dvd rom. It proceeded to install and works well. So I cannot say yes with 100% certainty but using this method should work.
