Does this work with windows 8?

Yes, it does. Just allow windows 8 plug-n-play feature recognize it. I did not have to do anything but install it make sure I set the BIOS correctly and in the sequence I wanted and reboot the computer. If you still have any problems, go to device manager and see if it shows up. If it shows as the driver not being installed, go to properties and select the "driver" tab then update driver. Select manual installation. Hit return and it should display the drivers that are intended to work with the ROM. Select the newest one that is Microsoft certified and see if it installs. If it doesn't keep trying with the other displayed drivers. If none load, you either have a defective unit or a defective SATA port or cable. There is absolutely no reason for it to not work. I am assuming that you know your way around a BIOS and have it set correctly before anything else. If the BIOS is improperly set, Windows may not even "see" it. That may also be indicated when in device manager, the ROM does not show at all. I have purchased several of these units and have used them on everything from XP on to 8.1. Never a failure.

Try it without the software at the present time I am using it on a Windows 7 64 bit. But I did have it on a Windows 8.1 64 bit OS and it worked fine!

No it doesn't eventhough they advertised it as working with windows 8. In hindsight, it appears that this product is older and was used for windows XP.

I don't have windows 8 so I can't answer that. Hopefully if you contact the seller or the developer they should [hopefully] be able to answer your question.

I'm afraid I can't answer that question. I use it with Windows 7.But I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with Windows 8. I also use it with Linux, and it works fine there.

I don't know about Windows 8 but it does work with Windows 7, as that is what I have. You might call the company or check on-line to see if it works with Windows 8.
