Yes it is compatible ..... you do need 2 usb ports available but an expansion hub can be purchased for under $10 if needed ..... I've used mine on 2 laptops running win 8 (32 and 64 versions) and both had no problems

My acer aspire model AOA 150 1178 came with windows 8.1 For making movies I searched and found Microsoft movie maker. It did not came pre-installed, but available for free download from Microsoft. But burning CD is a problem. First this laptop does not come with DVD player. You need to buy external DVD player. Second, software which was on Win 7 is gone. For win 8.1 you need to buy something like Nero.

The listing states DVD/CDRW - it will only write CD's. If you order it from us, just send us an email and we will put a DVDRW in it for no added cost. Thanks, Computer World

I doubt it. My Aspire has completely different E1-########. I had to get a power cord directly from ACER, and that was a pain - have all your ID and Model, etc. numbers ready.

I've used it. It works. The only down side is that on a Windows 8 OS the feature to burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker is gone. You'll need a 3rd party software to burn DVDs that you make.

Yes, the Acer Aspire V5 has a DVD/CD drive and burner. Works fine. For price I recommend purchasing a Lenovo ThinkPad (refurbished even).

Yes. Works perfect on Wundows 8. I have 12 of them running on 12 windows 8 laptops.

I don't know... I have a newer pc now and no longer use it. it has been awhile since I purchased it... was running under window 98 or xp... don't remember. check the specs for this item it should be indicated... else contact company with tech question. it did work just fine though... a bit flimsy but was okay since I did not have a dvd drive at that time.

I used this item with Honestec VHS to DVD 2.0 SE on a laptop with Windows 7. No issues.

I really can't say for sure. I have the "LG GSA-E60L 8X Slim DVD-Writer" which I purchased in 2009 and it works just fine with Windows 7.

Yes. I installed Nero 8 Ultra on My Windows 7 HP Laptop and it works perfectly. Haven't had an issue in 3 years. I been using it all week making videos of home movies and copying DVDs for Christmas presents. Von Ehman

Yes. The listed specifications include "16x DVDRW Drive" which is a DVD/CD Read/Write drive. My Dell Inspiron 660 has this drive and it works nicely.

yes - but since it was a Windows 8 machine that was reconfigured to Windows 7, the DVD driver was not compatible and did not function. The correct DVD driver has to be located and downloaded for the DVD drive to work.

Yes, it will work with this HP model. This notebook model does come with the option for an internal DVD drive too if you weren't already aware?
