I cannot get it to work with Windows 8... I even downloaded the VLC player that is mentioned and THAT doesn't work, either! I'm so unhappy that I bought a computer that is running with W8. I HATE this OS!

Yes, however, as you may already know, Windows 8 does not have a native media player for DVDs. Even Windows Media Player did not work for this. I downloaded a VLC player which worked wonderfully with no issues. Otherwise the drive was able to rip CDs and play movies. I have not used it to burn movies or CDs yet. I have no reason to believe that these functions would not work equally as well.

Well. I'm using it with windows 7 and works just fine. At this moment I can't confirm If this will run with windows 8. Good luck.

My reading of the specs does not indicate that it will operate with windows 8. If it did before you upgraded to windows 8.1, then I have no solution.

Yes it works with windows 8, I am currently using it with my windows 8 laptop and it works perfectly.

Yes, it works with Windows 8. There is less delay switching to a Windows 8 system than there is switching to a Windows XP machine.

I have Windows 7 and it works great. As far as I know it will work for 8 as well.

I am not sure about Windows 8, but it works just fine with Windows 7. Since its hard ware and not soft ware there should be an issue.

I got it to work on Windows 7 with the drivers that come on the disk, so it should work with win 8. Drivers are a problem with this product, as the latest ones coming from the chip manufacturer don't work with it.

Sorry... I'm using it on a older computer and it's working right... It shows no reason why it would not work on Windows 8. But I have not witnessed the facts of that so I am not eligible to say yes.

I believe it will work with Windows 8, although you might need to connect with the company on-line for all approved updates. Which I had to do for Windows 7. It also is a bit buggy...I have to plug it in and do the software in a certain way to get it to work right.

My PC is a Windows 7 unit, so I don't know. But it would be very annoying if it didn't work with Windows 8.

To the best of my knowledge, there should be no issues using this unit with Windows 8.
