Yes, Opticbook 3800 Book Scanner works with Windows 8.1. I downloaded the updated driver from Plustek support website.

Yes. The Scanner and CC4 work with Windows 8/8.1. If you have problems with the scanner showing up in Windows 8 or 8.1, then upgrade the firmware (tool on the drivers page for Brother). You will have to upgrade from a Windows 7, or below, OS. No one mentioned this, anywhere! I had upgraded to Win8.1, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the scanner to install for days, but it worked fine for my Win7 box. I finally upgraded the firmware and it installed like a charm. I'm guessing new ones sold by Amazon are already on the new firmware, but since people use Amazon to look up information on products bought elsewhere, I thought this would be useful information, and also provides a definitive answer.

Yes, it has a document feeder. The feeder works very well and my work group is very satisfied with the scanner. I do not know if it works with Windows 8.1.

I have 8.1 and it works perfectly-no problems installing software or using scanner-mouse.

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'm not sure, I used ScanCat lite to program mine but it only supports windows. I would suggest you look around for compatible software or just find someone with a windows based computer to load the scanner.

Their website says it works with Windows 8 with special driver installation, but when you click on the link regarding special driver installation, all you get is a blank page. I would go to their website and use the contact link to ask them. It's a good little scanner if you don't have high volume.

Works fine on Windows 7, USB scanner should work with just about any OS. Mustek makes the best scanners - period.
