Will this work with Win 8 or Win 8 Pro without installing driver from CD. Is this plug and play with Win 7&amp; Win 8.

Yes, it is plug & play without any drivers from the included CD for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8.0, and 8.1. I have tried it on all of those operating systems. Just make sure you have regular USB drivers installed (if you can successfully use a thumb drive or printer then they are already).

I use this on a windows 8 machine. The drivers installed automatically. Works flawless.

Hi Jessica, sorry for the late reply. It appears it does work with Win8. So you should definitely get one.

I tried using it in windows 8 about 6 months ago. The driver for windows 8 will not install unless the driver for Windows 7 is already there. The catch is, the Windows 7 driver will not install on Windows 8, it just reports "wrong operating system" and quits. That was six months ago, so there may be a fix for it. Most people I know who were fooled into buying this piece of junk just use the XLR. I use mine as a door stop.

Yes. I have installed one in a windows 8 PC, and in fact I didn't even need to install the drivers from the CD provided. I tested after installing.

it's going to need a driver for win8.0 or 8.1, otherwise any devices u plug in won't be recognized until after windows completes boot process. for example, kb and mouse are checked during post process which is before windows loads.Win 7 comes with the correct driver, so I would believe ver 8 and 8.1 do also. But, you haven't anything to lose....buy it and if you are unhappy, return it. I did that to get a usb3 external ports...good luck

Works for Win8 & 8.1, Win7, and it works in Linux. All plug and play, so you shouldn't have to mess with the drivers.

I have bought this and I can confirm it does work with Windows 8. Both 32 and 64 bit. What I did was I just installed everything that was on the CD, the software and the drivers and it does work. I do have a bit of problems with some applications, but others it does work in so just watch out what applications you are using to use this device. The application on the CD works the best.

@William Taylor - This product worked perfectly for me in Win 7 Pro (64-bit). I did not have to go on the Internet to install additional drivers, to the best of my recollection. It was an easy installation.

I've Win 7 & 8 and this worked perfect with both laptops, no driver installation was required. I believe its required to plug in to USB3

It worked for me in a Windows 7 64 bit install.... not quite the same, but if it worked without the included driver on CD installed in an older version, so I'd bet it works in the 8.1 as well, just plug n play?

No, it would not work for me. Something about an incompatible driver or something. The disc that was included was useless. I could not get satisfactory interface with Win8.1.

I had Win7 Pro x64 installed when I first used this adapter. I plugged it in and setup the driver, no problems. Later upgraded to 8 & 8.1. Check that your USB port isn't an issue? Try another port maybe. I used a 2.0 USB port.

Yes, I use it both on windows 8 and windows 7. It found and installed the drivers without any issues.

I am sorry but I cannot say for win 8. I have used with win 7, and it works perfectly.
