I got it to read DVDs and CDs after a week of frustration. Win 8.1 Pro 64bit had installed it twice with the 2006 Microsoft DVD/CD driver with both instances hidden in Device Manager showing both as not connected. I uninstalled both and rebooted it reinstalled and is working now. I haven't tried burning anything or playing Blu Ray disks. I've seen in some forums that Win 8 doesn't provide software for viewing Blu Ray and that you need a third party app.

I'm running windows 7 but I would be very surprised if it, meaning the hardware, did not work with windows 8.1. I don't know about the software that came with it will. My guess is that it should work.

It works extremely well in Windows 7, but I have no experience with Windows 8.1. I suggest you check out the specs on line before you buy it.

I'm not exactly sure but I think it would be OK with 8.1. I use Win7 personally. The only problems I've read about is that it isn't compatible with Mac systems. Hope this helps.

Yes it works with Windows 8.1 after I received the right cable. I received the wrong cable from them on the first shipment.

It should work for Win 8.1 64bit. Just make sure that you have the right device driver on your machine.

You should be able to use it in W8.1. You may have to use it in compatability mode, nut I don't think so.

Worked fine for windows 7 and all my devices I have work on 8.1. I'm going to assume it works.

Yes, this will work with Windows 8.1. It was designed for Windows OS 7 or later.

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
