is this fine for windows 8

Hi sorry for the delay in responding to the question, but Yes Windows 8 will work perfectly fine with this MB and what ever processor you chose to use. I would suggest at least getting Windows 8 pro 64 bit, if not Pro edition, the home edition is fine. But make sure you get the 64bit edition or you will not get benefit of the Ram needed, which should be at least 8 gigs. I am currently running 16 Gigs, which is more than enough, but 8 gigs is the perfect amount. There is no need for 32 gigs that is going overboard on ram or anything really over 16 for that matter. Just depends on what games or plans you have to use this new machine. Hope that answers your question.

I just got a new laptop with windows 8.1 and it works fine thus far. It should work okay.

The computer I installed it to is Windows 7, but I recently upgraded it online to windows 8 and works just fine, so I don't think you'd have problems.

I do not know the answer to that actually... Sorry... I am fine using the windows 8, not sure what all the fuss was about...

The unfortunate answer is 'it depends on a few things' so the ultimate answer is 'no, not reliably and readily compatible with Windows 8'.

I'm using it on Windows 8 with no problems. If it works on Window 8 64 bit, it will probably work on 7 64 bit.

Yes, I have a windows 8 PC and it works flawlessly. There should be no problems at all.

It works OK for windows 7. I don't use Windows 8, so I don't know about that.

It works on Windows 7 so I don't see any reason it wouldn't work fine with 8.
