Is this compatible with Windows 8.1?

Yes it is! Exactly what I bought it for, my new laptop doesn't have a drive. This is a good drive.

Yes, but I needed to install VLC Media Player from http://www.videolan.org to get it to play DVDs. Contacted LG customer support who gave me this suggestion.

I tried to mate my LG Electronics 8X USB 2.0 Ultra Slim Portable DVD+/-RW External Drive with M-DISC Support, from a retail box with the Windows 8.1 operating system only to be met with drama and distress. Windows 8.1 said that LG's disc drive was difficult, and LG's disc drive said that Windows 8.1 was a lying you-know-what. Then LG's disc drive said that it wanted to know where Windows 8.1 had been on the World Wide Web ALL NIGHT LONG. The next thing you know: one wants it's grandmother's blanket back, and the other says, "I don't know what you're talking about". Frankly, you are better off with OneDrive or DropBox, a flashdrive, probably an external hard drive by LG - ANYTHING GUHH.

No it is not compatible with windows 8.1. It is compatible with windows 8. I and the warpia company found this out the hard way. I have to return mine for an updated version, that Warpia does now have. Just read the specs and pick the one which is compatible with 8.1. Its a wonderful piece of equipment which streams fantastic. Hope this helps

Yes, I have windows 8.1 and it works just fine...but I did have to look on YouTube in order to learn how to install it correctly since it is a little different then the instructions it come with for older forms of windows, but still really really simple and it works great

I do not have Windows 8 or 8.1 yet. It is possible one version might work differently than the other.

I am sorry but I am not able to answer that question because I do not have Windows 8.1. I have Windows 7 and it works perfectly.
