Has Microsoft improved Windows 8? I had to return a very nice HP computer because it was practically impossible to work with Windows 8

I get very frustrated with 8. You have to be open to learning the program or maybe taking a class on it...tutorial. You can switch to the old desk top version, too, with the Windows 8 that I have on here.

Simply put--no. Windows 8 is confusing and designed to appeal to a younger person. I would love to go back to Windows, 7 but don't want to spend the money to do it.

Microsoft has an "upgrade" that is free - Windows 8.1. It makes the W8 a bit more like W7, but not entirely. W8/8.1 takes some getting used to but it isn't too bad. If you get a touch screen laptop (this one is not touch screen) it might be a bit easier to get accustom to.

I returned mine, it wouldnt load properly and the windows 8 was such a pain without touchscreen capabilities.

It worked with my Windows 8, I have never had a problem returning anything with Amazon rather it was because it worked, or I ordered the wrong thing. They are usually really good working with returns.

I cannot anwser this question I refuse to upgrade to windows 8 at this time. However, it works well with all other OS.

Good question! When I upgraded the computers for our office last month and was unable to install because there is no driver for Windows 8.

Sorry to so long to get back to you on this one from the looks of it, it doesn't say that it can't use Windows 8 because I'm using Windows 7 and I looked on the box it came in and it doesn't say that it can't use Windows 7 either. So to answer your question, I think you should be pretty safe using Windows 8. I really don't see a reason why you can't but you should be good though

NO! I wondered the same after I received it, good thing it crashed due to shipping or I wouldn't have gotten a refund.... Btw windows 8 blows....

I have not found that, but after using the machine for a while, I completly stopped using it, because many things do not work well, and I hate windows 8.

Yes. I use Windows 8 on my new HP laptop. Works great. I had an issue with the set-up. I had to contact Canon for some technical help and they were great. Walked me through the set-up over the phone. Works fine. I like this printer.

No, I use it with Windows 7. Does Windows 8 have a feature to simulates prior versions so you can use old software?

Yes, we have no problem with the HP, and it is working well with out windows 8.

I'm sorry I don't use Windows 8. I use Windows 7 and wait until they come out with Windows 9 or 10.

My computer does not use Windows 8. I have been using the device routinely with Windows 7 without any problem even though the system requirements stated Windows XP or Vista when I bought the device in 2010. All it really needs is a USB port.

I cannot get it to work with Windows 8... I even downloaded the VLC player that is mentioned and THAT doesn't work, either! I'm so unhappy that I bought a computer that is running with W8. I HATE this OS!

I am tempted to say that NOTHING works with Windows 8 ;) I have not tried it.

As with others, I do not use Windows 8 but I have been using the scanner on Windows 7 problem free. There have been no problems and there are periodic updates for the scanner. Suggest you ask HP directly.

Not sure, we don't have windows 8. We use windows 7, and it's still not working with that. We still have to figure that out yet.
