Does this device work with Windows 8.1?

Operating system won't matter. This is just a USB cable on one end, the other side are open connectors used to connect to a development board. What were your intentions for this cable ?

Yes, you can make it work. But you should note that according to Prolific's website the chip in this device is counterfeit. I recommend sending it back for a refund, but if you're like me - it's way too late for that.To get it working on Windows 8 (or any other version of windows for that matter), follow the instructions on:leftbraintinkering.blogspot.com/2013/05/usb-to-serial-prolific-2303-device.htmlI tried a lot of different drivers, these are the only ones that worked for me.

It does not work with the latest version of the driver from Prolific. Try this version https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7FildjsrNkILWhYVHYwanJLS3c/edit (you may have to manually install/update the driver and pick the 3.3.2.102 version.)

Considering Windows 7 sees this device and installs drivers automatically, and that Windows 8.1 is based on Windows 7 architecture, I would guess that this device would work with Windows 8.1. However, being that I only have Windows 7 and not Windows 8.1 I can not be absolutely 100% sure. Only 85% sure that this device would work with Windows 8.1. Hopefully this answers your question.

No it does not work with Windows 8.1. I have tried with my Dell Venue 8 Pro with no success. Works fine with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Can verify that it works on Windows 8.1 Pro. So it should work on 8.1, as the specs state no additional drivers are needed.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works great with it. I don' remember if it comes with a CD, but I'm sure I didn't use or need to use CD to make it work.

Tested OK with Windows 7. Don't know about Windows 8.1. Check DB Web site if they have driver before buying it.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works great. Windows found the drivers and installed them without the need for intervention.

Yes, and I currently use it with Windows 8.1 as well with no issues. It should work with all versions of Windows.

Will not work with Windows 8.1. Also the device does not support firmware updates. Unfortunately this device seems to have no traceable company or manufacturer. So there is zero support for the device.

Yes, it works just fine w/ Windows 8.1. It is compatible w/ VLC Media Player, Handbrake, etc.

Yes it will with Windows 8.1You can always check with Kinesis who, I understand, distribute the device in the USA - kinesis.com

It works just fine with Windows 7 without installing anything so it will probably work for Windows 8.1. To get all the functionality you're supposed to install the drivers off the cd, but I never have. As is, it does everything I want and works the same way I'm used to. I use it mostly for uploading/downloading from my phone and talking to my Lego robot which uses com port emulation across the Blue Tooth connection.

Sorry, I cannot answer the question because I don't have Windows 8/8.1. It does work on XP Home/XP Pro and Windows 7.
