hey anita, I don't know why the don't update the inst. CD , but alfa tech supt. is excellent . this is what I got from them : Windows 8/8.1 built-in driver for AWUS036H so you can plug AWUS036H into your newly installed Windows 8 and Windows Hardware Wizard will search & install driver for you automatically. Or you can visit our blogger for manual installation guide, http://alfanetworkinc.blogspot.tw/2012/11/alfa-wifi-usb-adapter-on-windows-8.html . Or AUTO INSTALLATION 1.Make sure you PC is connecting to Internet 2. Plug AWUS036H into USB port directly 3. Add Hardware Wizard will search & install driver for you automatically INSTALL DRIVER MANUALLY (That's t take AWUS036H as example) 1. Plug in AWUS036H into Windows 8 and launch Device Manager 2. Expend your Network adapters section in Device Manager, click on Settings -&gt; PC Info -&gt; Device Manager 3. Right click on AWUS036H (Realtek RTL8187 Wireless .... ) and select Update Driver Software .. 4. Press Browse button to locate driver for AWUS036H for Windows 7 where is located in CD as shown in following picture. ALFA tech support also sometimes the driver stops working / just rt click the Wi-Fi icon and hit trobuleshooter / it will reboot the driver/ good luck / PJM

Sue; you will have to contact whomever is selling the unit..............I'm just another person who bought the unit off Amazon..... and by the way... I think Windows 8 is a POS...

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

It was stated in comments that it works with win 8 and to install drivers, but its my understanding this is plug and play with no available drivers.

Yes you should be able to upgrade it - but our business apps require us to have Windows 7 pro. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Win8+. I'd suggest doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install to keep your drivers, but suggest you go to Samsung's website if any drivers don't carry over.

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.

This device works well with Windows 8. I have this OS and have not had any issues.

No, it needs an update to the flash reader which is not compatible with Windows 8. That is my only disappointment with this devise.

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.

My buddy has Windows 8 and Samsung or Microsoft is telling him he waited too long to upgrade, so their may be a time limit depending on who built your unit.

I have Windows Pro 7 and Windows XP working with device. I do not have a touch screen yet to use Windows 8 or 10 yet, but the device should work. No drivers needed.

Your not the first person to ask that, I have tried everything and windows 8 just won't let you use the software. Looks like I will have to contact microsoft.

It depends upon which operating system you're using. I have Windows 8.1 with all the latest patches and upgrades and this device isn't recognized...at all! I contacted the vendor and they said they had no plans on upgrading the driver for this device, so, it now sits in a special place in the garage...where all the other junk is stored.

The device is essentially a keyboard and mouse and should be compatible with Win8. The battery can be replaced with one like it comes with or with AA batteries.
