yes of course- this flash drive support windows 8 Sorry for the delayed response

I can't speak definitively, but I am 99% sure that it does. No reason the new platform wouldn't be compatible. If it doesn't, Amazon has a great return policy.

I can only guess it does. It supports Windows 7, which is what I have. I agree on great return policy.

I don't own windows 8 but windows 7 but I would say most likely it should for the fact windows 8 should be more advance than that of windows 7 and the great than about amazon if it doesn't they will gladly accept it back in return..try it out though I recommend.

Yes windows 8 supports this flash drive as I just got one and stored my recovery files on it

Never used drive with Windows 8 but I'm pretty sure there would be no compatibility issue there.

I have windows 7, and mine worked just fine. I'm not sure about windows 8 though. Hope that helps!

Yes, I had windows 8 and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it still works the same, no problems.

I do not have windows 8. This I will say, all previous OS'S with a usb connection will recognize the drive. The floppy disc contents will open if the file association to a program is installed on your computer.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: It's a very standardized interface supported in almost any operating system. You should expect this to work as well as a USB flash drive. There may be some slight differences between operating systems, such as whether it powers down when not in use and how long (within a narrow range) it takes to start transferring data. Otherwise you'll have no problems.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

I used this external hard drive with my windows PC running Windows 7- no probems; I am pretty sure that it would work with Windows 8.

I personally don't think it matters if you have a LATER version of windows as the later version will recognized hardware that is older and install the necessary drivers. Windows 8 didn't make any of your hard drives or cd/dvd writers obsolete, only some of your software. I would understand that if it said Windows 8 then it might not work on an earlier (unsupported) version, as the earlier versions no longer are supported by Microsoft and getting updates. Win 7 and 8 should be no issues

I have windows 8.1 and it works fine. This is a great and durable flash drive. Several of my co workers have purchased one after seeing mine.

Yes, I have used it with my Win 8 laptop too. Its just like any other USB drive.

Yes. Get the kind that goes into the flash drive slot. The driver will be loaded automatically and you should be able to use. See if you can get Windows 8.1 upgrade. You'll love it

I would know the answer to that. I've had trouble getting it to support Windows 8.

Im pretty sure its compatible with Windows 8 because its just a device and not a program. I also have tested it on all Usb ports which is Usb, Usb 2.0 and Usb 3.0 and all 3 work for me. It will work with any computer if it is running Windows, It doesn't matter about the computer type it is.

I checked the Diamond Web site and it says it supports Win 8. Mine was bought before Win 8 so it only says Win 7.

I don't know. I do not have Windows 8. I hope it is as I'm sure I will have to move up to Win8 sometime.

Have tried it and it worked great under Windows 7. Have not tried under a Windows 8.
