We have had this product for over a year. When we got it we followed instructions to hook it up to a Win 8 portable. We followed the instructions and and it worked. I do not remember having to download anything. You will have to switch between TH and EN when using it. Windows is not always convenient but we have had no trouble with the unit itself.

Yes, this works with Windows 8. Follow the directions to download the language characters. There is a small icon in the bottom right corner of the tool bar that is designated "EN". Click on that and then you will have the option to toggle to the language you have downloaded and back to English.

Not sure on windows 8, works with win 7 just fine. nothing else is needed windows has the thai localization under regional settings. to flip back and forth between english and thai you just use the language bar.

Mine came with Windows 8 and it was already set to English, but you can add any language you want by simply going to the Control Panel, (the easiest way to access the control panel in windows 8 is to select the start menu at the bottom left corner, then put your mouse on the bottom right corner, right click and choose "all apps"., then scroll to Control Panel, choose languages and then add Spanish, piece of cake...

The box says its compatible to both windows 8/7. I have windows 8 so I can't answer the question about 7

Yes. It may take a few steps but it can work. you might need to take the .exe file once it's downloaded and put that in compatibility mode for it to work. I have windows 8.1 and the only thing giving me issues is the fact i'm running it on a lower-end laptop.

Yes. It requires an Internet connection. It does not work well with windows 8.

I have tried every way possible to load it on windows 8 and to answer your question NO it will not work. Anything below it works.

I believe that it´s possible, but I preffered upgrade to Windows 8.1 Spanish free-of-charge without problems... Good luck!

It works fine with Windows 8 - any USB keyboard would work. This one also has the start button which is nice for switching between the start screen and the desktop

We're using it with Windows 7 ( don't use Windows 8 ), but it should work with 8...

To the best of my knowledge, there should be no issues using this unit with Windows 8.

Hello if you need the Spanish language pack if I'm not mistaken you can direct download from the Microsoft website. The laptop comes with Windows 8 in English.

Yes, it works with Windows 8. There is less delay switching to a Windows 8 system than there is switching to a Windows XP machine.

It works seamlessly with Windows8. No adjustment needed to switch from Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits to Windows8.

I have Windows 8, and it works perfectly. Not sure what other version of Windows it will work with. I'm sure if you call Rosetta Stone, they will have an answer for you.
