Just Click in the Store Tab and download to 8.1 it is quick and Easy and you get the latest available possible updates Even if it did come with 8.1 from the Factory you would still need to click and update to the latest

Presumably because the kind folks at Dell got a better deal from Microsoft for the outdated, inappropriate dog version. A couple days after getting my software and data re-installed on the replacement HD (a common failure, I'm told) I was offered a "free" upgrade to 8.1 (presuming that the three hours of my time costs nothing). So it seems that 8.1 is sort of included - or at least was in my case.

I've use with Windows 7. Its a USB 2.0 hub I see no reason why it would not work with Windows 8.1 as Win8.1 should be backward compatible with USB 2.0 standards.

I did not get the Windows 8.1 as several people I talked to said they had some difficulty with it. All of the PC's at my company have Windows 7 installed and my unit does as well. All operate without difficulty and easy to operate.

I didn't use it with Windows 8.1; it was just before. The biggest issue I got into it was that it is quite tall and easily toppled over with any kind of touch. Once toppled it seemed to crack at the base quite easily. I bought a second one and had the same experience.

It worked with Windows 8 so I it should work with 8.1 since its far more stable.

I haven't upgraded to windows 8.1 yet, so I'm not sure how to solve that issue. Sorry.

It is very easy to set up. If you have Windows 8.0, you will need to UPDATE your files. Then you can download Windows 8.1.

I tried to install it on a Win 8.1 laptop, but the software/driver installation clearly stated that it didn't support "this operating system" and that I needed to downloaded a different driver from AOC's web site. Well, there's only one Windows driver at AOC.com and it's the same one that's on the CD. So, it's a big fat NO for Windows 8.1. (We do use these at work with Windows 7 no problem.)

I used the ( downloaded) manual from Internet, however when I put Windows 8.1 on my laptop recently it did not work anymore as it did before using Windows 8. Contacted IOGEAR and they wrote me they are working on a solution to let it run on Windos 8.1 as well, to be expected in March. Succes and if you have any futher questions please do not hesistate.

Because it did not work with windows 8. You will have to ask the manufacturer why it does not work.

I ordered the equipment for work, and we are still on Windows 7, so I don't know if it works with Windows 8.1. I hope that's helpful. Thank you.

You might need to check the Rosewill website and see if they have an updated driver for windows 8.1. If it is not on the website you may need to contact them to see when and if they have that available.

Yes, I have windows 8.1 and it works just fine...but I did have to look on YouTube in order to learn how to install it correctly since it is a little different then the instructions it come with for older forms of windows, but still really really simple and it works great

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.
