Yes, it can transfer between any versions of Windows from XP through 8.1 (XP, Vista, 7, 8, & 8.1).

I'm sorry, I didn't see your question until today. I don't know about windows 8.1, but this cable didn't work at all for me. My radio just freezes as soon as I insert the cable. :-( Cheers!

As far as I know it will work. If Win8 supports external drives, then it will work.

Not sure but my research indicated that the cable is just an UBS cable and the software is the critical component. Windows 7 came with the "Transfer" software already included. Just had to add it to the older computer running XP. All in all, it worked OK. Some of the files were transferred but required a little searching to find. E-mail address book / contact list will not transfer. Have to move them manually or via a flashdrive. Good luck.

The box says its compatible to both windows 8/7. I have windows 8 so I can't answer the question about 7

I have not used my cable, but information on the Easy Transfer Cable for Windows 7 package clearly states that "The Belkin Easy Transfer Cable is the quickest way to migrate files, music, photos, user accounts - and more - from your Windows XP or Windows Vista PC to your new Windows 7 PC".

Sorry, I can not answer that, I am on a Windows 7 64 bit, although another friend has the same cable and he is Window 8

I think it has to do more with your USB configuration than what Windows version you're using, and that would only affect the speed of data transfer. It should work fine.

I cannot say for certain if it works with Windows 8, but I did not need to install any drivers for Windows 7, so I would assume so. Just need to watch the USB 3.0 Issue.

Yes, I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 and it works fine. I also use the Seagate with a Windows 7 PC and a Linux computer.

Yes, this will work with Windows 8.1. It was designed for Windows OS 7 or later.

As long as you have an available USB slot. I have 2 of these, one on a windows 7 machine and another running 8.1.

The specific microchip that was incorporated into the cable that I purchased is not compatible with Windows 8, but it is with Windows 7 and XP. The software that is provided on the CD that comes with the cable contains a program that allows you to identify the particular version of the chip in the cable so you can determine which Windows OS to use.

I used it with windows 8 to transfer data from ide drive from a broken laptop and worked very well. I don't remember at that time if it was windows 8 or 8.1
