It should. When I first plugged it in to my Windows 7 laptop and loaded the software, it was fine. But when I added it as the default ASIO audio device in my DAW (Studio One 2) there was a problem with Studio One opening it. So I wrote a note to the customer service person at Focusrite, and the next day I had a return email with an attached driver to try. I installed the driver and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this unit. I depend on it for live performances and it has never let me down and it's good to know they have GREAT customer service to back you up.

I do not have Windows 8 but do have Windows 7. I see no reason why it would not work.

I used it on an old XP machine, but Win 8 shouldn't be a problem as it has even more drivers.

I have an HP laptop running Windows 8.1. I plugged the drive in and it immediately started working. I would say yes, it will work with Win 8.

Yes but maybe not out of the box. I had issues with it on Windows 7 and 8 but with a little research and screwing around with the drivers, it will work.

It was stated in comments that it works with win 8 and to install drivers, but its my understanding this is plug and play with no available drivers.

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.

Works just fine on mine. Win8 was able to recognize it and install the correct drivers without incident.

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.

I'm not completely sure, but I don't think it will work with Windows 8. Win 8 is a new system, where Win 7 was just an update from XP and Vista.

I suppose it will support Win 8 as long as driver for device is properly installed. I don't have Win 8 and beside my usb 2.0 to Ethernet dongle is defective and unable to contact seller. I had used similar model at work and had no issue. In case id the driver you loaded does not work, you can go to OEM web site to down load even for Win 7 will work. Good luck.
