Will this work with Win 8 or Win 8 Pro without installing driver from CD. Is this plug and play with Win 7& Win 8.

Yes, it is plug & play without any drivers from the included CD for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8.0, and 8.1. I have tried it on all of those operating systems.Just make sure you have regular USB drivers installed (if you can successfully use a thumb drive or printer then they are already).

Works for Win8 & 8.1, Win7, and it works in Linux. All plug and play, so you shouldn't have to mess with the drivers.

HI, I'm not sure where you'd find the driver. When I put it into Win 7 it just searched and found the driver when I plugged it in before I could even put the cd inI would suggest calling their tech support to see if the post it online

It works just fine in windows 7. I guess it acts like a USB CD device except with zip discs. I'm sure it will work with windows 8.

It works just fine with Windows 7 without installing anything so it will probably work for Windows 8.1. To get all the functionality you're supposed to install the drivers off the cd, but I never have. As is, it does everything I want and works the same way I'm used to. I use it mostly for uploading/downloading from my phone and talking to my Lego robot which uses com port emulation across the Blue Tooth connection.

With quite a bit of effort, it will work with Win 8. I disabled digital signing to get it to functioning.

yes, i'm using it with win. 8.1 pro, just don't try the driver that comes with it, it's out of date download new one from the web site.

It worked for me in a Windows 7 64 bit install.... not quite the same, but if it worked without the included driver on CD installed in an older version, so I'd bet it works in the 8.1 as well, just plug n play?

currently using it with windows 7 and the device was auto-detected so it should work with win 8 as well. I'll try it tonight with 8 and will report here.

I wouldn't know because i do not have windows 8 i have windows 7 but i can tell you this that the disc it comes with will not work for windows 7 and 8 i had to download the driver off a site that has it.

I don't have Win 8 on any of my machines. But I expect the software on the CD is compatible. Definitely works with Win 7.

It is preintalled with windows 7 pro. You will have a win 8 license but would have to install/upgrade yourself

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.

Yes it will work with Windows 8 and it is very easy to use as it is plug/play.

I had Win7 Pro x64 installed when I first used this adapter. I plugged it in and setup the driver, no problems. Later upgraded to 8 & 8.1. Check that your USB port isn't an issue? Try another port maybe. I used a 2.0 USB port.
