To whom it may concern asking the question that you say you hate windows 8.1, delete it off your computer..it was design and made to stress out the consumer buyers with to much complexs in order to keep you spending money to the technicians. It's all a mind game set up for the buyers to fall prey to. Istill use windows X/P ... because its so simple. Go with windows X/P or windows vista which is less confusing and easier to operate. My email is tcbmrt22@yahoo.com if you need me further. OK.. have a blessed day stay safe. Mr. Tee!

Yes. I don't remember downloading a new driver either, unless win 8 did it for me.

It more about the OS than the computer itself. I know it works with Windows 7. I have only used it with a USB cable, not the WiFi.

No it does not fare well with Win 8.1 Pro, it keeps requiring me to go online as it requests me for internet connection. Unlike the previous version (2012 running in compatibility mode); I cannot play this offline and worse I get lots of loop backs.

I didn't install it yet but it most likely would be driver dependent. However, it will be a standard driver built into win 8.

It does but it's pointless if your running windows 8, because the drivers are already there. But for everything else you need to install the drivers from the enternet.

NO. Also the computer has wndows 8.1 which I don't like so I have not used t all that much.

Was a tad bit wonky on first use. After I installed the driver/config software it work okay. What OS are you using? I am not sure if it is completely Win 8/8.1 compatible.

There is a driver for Win 8.1 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064 )

I tried to install it on a Win 8.1 laptop, but the software/driver installation clearly stated that it didn't support "this operating system" and that I needed to downloaded a different driver from AOC's web site. Well, there's only one Windows driver at AOC.com and it's the same one that's on the CD. So, it's a big fat NO for Windows 8.1. (We do use these at work with Windows 7 no problem.)

Yes! I installed Win8 Pro x64 on my computer build, and I use this for wifi. I plugged it in and within 5 seconds, had wifi. Windows recognizes the drivers without needing the CD. It works GREAT

I had bought with Pro but I do not know about the newer models. Also I believe Windows 8.1 is now the Windows version and the drivers also

I am using Windows 8.1 and it works well for me. I did not need to download any drivers, just set things up to automatically detect connection. I have a Garmin emap, so I had to cut off the plastic tab that projects from the cable to get it to fit my GPS.

Yes, I have Windows 8.1 and just installed it. Works great and easy to install.

The included WiFi is pretty crappy. I was getting 3-5mb/s over my network, and poor connectivity in my bedroom, which is usually not a problem.I ordered an Intel 6235 WiFi card for $23 here on Amazon. Windows8 didn't even need drivers. I am getting 50+mb/s and great connectivity on 2.4GHz, and the 6235 has 5GHz too.(Installation is cake. unscrew the bottom, swap the card, screw back up. 5m)

I have windows 8 and there really werent any driver installations to be done. You must have a ASIO driver and you can get that for free.

Yes. Wi-Fi IS a problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and could not get the Wi-Fi to connect. I continued to download drivers etc. It was frustrating but I eventually got around the problem. I wish I could elaborate but I set up the laptop months ago. Once you get it to work I haven't experienced any of the "spotty" problems. It connects on startup and doesn't lose it. If you're fine with the typical bloatwear that comes with a laptop I don't think you'll have a problem.
