I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!

It was very easy to upgrade to 8.1, just went to Microsoft, searched for "8.1" and scrolled down to the "RT" VERSION. The process is takes about an 90 min, it is very hands off. The system will initially behave as a fresh install, but once your original account and password is entered it will behave as you had set up.

Windows RT is not windows 8.1.So, You have to go to the Windows store and install Blockworld. The free version is all you need. The developer of Minecraft continues to snub the RT platform, so Blockworld is a competing version. A lot of people like it.Furthermore, The Surface has "lite" versions of popular X-Box games, like Halo, Need for Speed, etc. They are quite good.

I would imagine so. We are using it on RT. There shouldn't really be an difference to what OS you are using.

Yes, my 3.0 works seamlessly on my 8.1 touchscreen. Just remember to keep 8.1 updated for continuous net usage. without current updates you will have glitches associated with the rj53 buss abilities. I chose to auto update daily.

Yes - if you purchased it with Window 8 - the upgrade to 8.1 is free. You'll see it in your Updates when it's available to upgrade.

I have used it on a Surface tab running 8, but so not believe I have upgraded yet to 8.1. I am VERY happy with the size, performance and cost of the mouse. I have traveled with it many times in last 6mos and it has survived several good drops. Also have not had to swap batteries yet so power management seems good as well! Enjoy. Les.

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

Yes, this tablet runs full Windows 8.1, so you can install "legacy" apps. It's only the Surface 2 and Lumia tablets that run Windows RT.

This is only the Upgrade code from Windows 8.1. You will need Windows 8.1 before you can use this to upgrade to the Pro. If you have Windows 8 then you will need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 (which is free) before using this. None of this applies if you're running the Windows 8 or 8.1 RT edition for tablets.

Yes, it works with 8.1. I switched from 8.0 to 8.1 and RS still works. They have recently sent an update and the program is much better now.

Hi: Yup, it works great. I haven't tried 8.1 though; but, I'm pretty certain that will work as well. Bob

Since a driver is involved the one for the pro version might indeed not work for the RT version. I only have the Pro so can't confirm this

Not on Windows 8.1 RT at this time. However, if you have another laptop or desktop computer in the house, you can easily access it from this Surface tablet.

I don't remember if it was pre-installed, but mine is currently running 8.3. It should automatically update to be current.
