Will this play Blu Ray movies on Win 8 ?

Yes it will but in order to do that you need some additional stuff:- Windows 8.x doesn't playback either native DVDs and BluRay. You need a 3rd party software installed like PowerDVD.- Your monitor should support HDCP protocol that is a requirement from any monitor or TV to do Bluray playback.This BDROM works fine reading Bluray movies so if you meet the other hardware and software requirements you can playback your movies using this unit as I did.

It works fine on windows 7. To be sure I would check out either Microsofts website, or Pioneer.I used min for a new system build. No complaints so far.

Not with the software that comes with it. Stay away from Nero products, they have problems on my Win 8.1 iCore 7 desktop.

Yes it works great with Window 8.1! I upgraded from Windows Vista to 8.1 and the player works better than before. The key is to find the software to play Blu-Ray movies. I use AISEESOFT software...it was around $40 to purchase...but it was well worth it in the long run. I updates itself, and it does not have any copying tasks that sometimes interferes when attempting to simply watch a Blu-Ray movies.

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 which was the reason I purchased two Pioneer Blu Ray burners. Yes it works very well with Windows 8.1.

Windows should recognize the drive. Contact manufacturer. You might have a faulty drive or your blu-ray software might not be compatible.

Yes but you will also need a software like CyberLink PowerDVD to play the Blu-ray movies, which is not included with this purchase, this is only the hardware to read the Blu-ray disk you still need the software to play them. I have had mine for a while now and I love it and I have had NO issues at all with it.

Joe the Anime Fan, Yes, it can play Blu-ray movies. It comes with Blu-ray compatible PowerDVD 10 software for playback.

Wait!! Sorry I just gave yu a positive answer for this. This is the one I returned as it was really lousy. I purchased a Samsung instead and it was great. This one Did Not work. Don't know if it was because it wasn't compatible with 8 or not. It was also quite cheap looking. Check out the samsung blu ray disk se506 if it's still available. It works great. Sorry for the mix up. Good luck

Yes, the Multimedia suite that is included is PC software allowing you to play Blu-ray movies on PC. You have to make sure your PC's video card and monitor are HDCP compliant for securely playing back Blu-ray movies. Modern PC's and Laptops are all compliant. Thank you, DIGISTOR

I have systems with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. I haven't tested all aspects with both, but can attest it operated immediately when I plugged it into a Win 8.1 laptop. It should both play back and burn audio discs, DVDs, and will read software programs recorded on optical discs. What it will NOT do is handle Blu-ray formats.

I am not sure. I have the discs if you are interested. I now have Windows8 and cant use them. Let me know.

Depending on your disk drive (it has to be rated for Blue Ray) able to play . You need proper drivers for what windows system you are using. I have a E6500 in my system and I have a DVD recorder and with no problems.

No. This will only work with a Windows OS computer. If your DVD Blu-Ray has an ethernet connection capability, we recommend that you look for an 'Ethernet Bridge' device.

Yes, it will work with MS Windows 8.1. If you wish to use it for 3D Blu-Ray viewing, you'll need the appropriate video card, sound hardware, and 3D playback software. CyberLink PowerDVD 14 Ultra works with MS Windows 8.1, but check system requirements first.
