According to Amazon, this will not work on Windows 8/8.1. I did not see that in the description. Is that correct?

Yes it works with Windows 8.1 after I received the right cable. I received the wrong cable from them on the first shipment.

It does work on Windows 8. I cannot remember the issue at the time, but I did have to call tech support for a fix. Windows 8 was brand new at the time and whatever the problem was, it was a quick fix and I suspect it's already been updated.

I got it to work with windows 8.1. I ended up returning it b/c it stopped working after the 1st time i used it.

Can verify that it works on Windows 8.1 Pro. So it should work on 8.1, as the specs state no additional drivers are needed.

I don't have windows 8 so I'm not sure but a lot of people are saying it doesn't. but windows 8.1 might work.

Yep. I've used it on both Win7 and 8, as well as 8.1. I haven't yet installed the 8.1 Update 1, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't work on that as well. Just make sure to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

We have Windows 7, and it works fine on this. I am afraid I cannot answer for Windows 8, sorry, and good luck!

Nope. I haven't gotten it to work on windows 8. I probably downloaded over 5 drivers still didn't work. Only windows 7 I saw it work on.

While Windows 8 is not listed, it should work with Windows 8.1 I briefly tested it and it required the disk in the drive to work.

It works with Windows 8.1 but you need to manually install some runtime components in order to get them to work. They have to be run manually.
