New laptop with windows 8. Will the 2014 software work on it or am I looking at the 2013 software and what is the difference between the two?

Every year DeLorme updates its maps and puts out the next version (2014 for example). The software and its compatibility are not changed - just the road map itself. I am running Street on Windows 7 and 7 Pro with no compatibility issues. You should not have any problems with Windows 8.

Yes. You're going to want to download the latest Driver for Windows 8 found under `Downloads' on the right side of the page via the following link:http://www.numark.com/product/ns6

I can't confirm it works with the 2014 Edition. It will work, however briefly, with the old one.

I would be surprised if it did not work in Windows 8. I personally am using it with Windows 7. The 2013 should have been compatible with Windows 8.

I have Acer with Windows 7 and it works great.I don't know much about Windows 8.I don't see why it wouldn't work tho.

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

From what I can tell it works for both. I use Windows 8.1 which is 64 but and have had no problems. This program from the early days has rarely caused me grief.

I just got a new laptop with windows 8.1 and it works fine thus far. It should work okay.

The current (5/30/14) version on Amazon is advertised as being configured with Windows 7 Home Premium. It had better come with that I just ordered it and I really don't like W8. I bought a W8 laptop for my nieces birthday and set it up for her then she loaded 8.1 and a lot of system changed.

I would say no, not at this time. At this time it seemed to only accept programs from Microsoft store. New models that will have full windows8 may work for you. The one I had only had WindowsRT and it was very limited and only used Internet Explorer and did not support programs that I needed to use on a daily basis. Also at the time I had it, there were a very limited number of programs available, they may have added more to them. It did come with Office programs so if that is what you use, it may work.Good luckNancie

It works fine for me with Windows 8. The worst part for me was updating the software that came with it.

My Acer Aspire AXC600-UR12 came equipped with Windows 8; I wasn't too happy about that because of all the negative comments I had seen about Windows 8, but since it came and I have used it for 2 or 3 months I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased with the latest MS operating system. I have since downloaded 8.1 (free and easily installed) and it is even better with the old Windows 7 start capability. I don't know if you can get this machine with Windows 7 or not, but I don't think you would be unhappy with Windows 8.Good luck

This was a new laptop for my wife. I believe it was a trial version, but didn't pay much attention while loading a new Office 2010 Professional I purchased to upgrade an old 2003. Not sure if this will help. Like the new Gateway. Windows 8 takes some getting used to if one is not I-phone or I-pad oriented.

The most significant improvement between this older version and the 2014 version is 2GB of RAM versus 3GB RAM. If you multi-task...or like to install a large variety of apps, like I do, the extra 1GB of RAM makes a world of difference.

If it is the same version I bought, purchased in January 2013, it did have windows 7 not 8

The software that comes with the camera will not work on Windows 8 but you can get updated version that will on their website. The update is a basic version (no special effects) but the camera works great, much better than the one built into my laptop.

Mine came with Windows 8. I have added MS Office to mine so you shouldn't have any problem.
