will windows 8.1 run on this unit. I have read complaints that it will not.

Yes, Windows 8.1 will run on this system. You will have to ensure you have installed all of the critical updates from Window Update, then you can install it.

I have used it with a Win8 machine. Not sure if 8.1 would work. In fact, I had more issues w/ making it compatible w/ a Win7 machine than the Win8 one. Hope that helps.

Yes, it will. I had no problems running it on Windows 8, or the 8.1 upgrade either.

Yes it will work with windows 8.1 the drivers are included but you might just want to go to the asus website to make sure they are up to date.

It works. Probably works better with windows before 8.1. Getting driver to install on 8.1 is a problem for some reason.This is a GREAT Unit however, small and great picture once you get it installed. Newer version of the machine are probably even better but this one works OK.

I have been just using my laptop running windows 8.1, works great. I would recommend a dedicated computer though as it does get dusty.

(probably a little late to reply) i would assume if it were Windows 7 capable at all, it should run against anything Windows 7.. including 64 bit. that's a good question.. it really is sad that the consumer can't just pick one to their fancy and expect it to run D:they should all run on anything with today's day and age, go figure.

Probably will work fine. Only kept unit for a couple of weeks as Windows8 drove us nuts.

On the box that it is "Windows 8" ready -- you might need to down the latest software from www.buffalotech.com or you may not. Does not mention 8.1 but may work.

I have the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, which runs Windows 8.1, and mine works fine.

Yes it can as windows 8 is built on the same platform as windows 7 which I have it running on just fine. Order it plug it up wait for windows to install drivers and you're ready

I installed it on a computer windows 8.1, 64-bit yesterday. It seems to be working correctly.

I am running mine under Windows 8.1 (desktop system) with no errors or issues. It is a bit tricky to setup, especially if you want the data file placed somewhere else on the system.Again, no issues or problems at all.

it runs on windows 8.1, not sure if the part # on the bottom of the computer is a product key or not, but it has windows 8.1 written next to it.

It should,i use it on a surface and it runs Windows 8. You can upgrade that to Windows 8.1 if you want. Also Windows 10 will be a free upgrade when it comes out for Windows 8 users. Unless it's property off the school of course

I use windows 7, I would assume it would work as windows 8.1 as it will run in a 7 mode. I would consult with a windows 8 expert !

Yes, I am using it on a PC that is running Windows 8.1 - no problems at all.Bob
