I have trouble getting it worked on a windows 8.1 desktop. It used to work in win 7 just fine. Any pointer would be appreciated.

Sorry, I can't help you. I use a mac & ITunes. However, maybe you could try using ITunes on your pc. You can download it for free. Another idea is perhaps you have to find your new windows 8.1. You would have to hold the button on the blue tooth adapter down for a bit then release it & see if it can find your new windows 8.1. Hope this helps you.

I would start with the hardware first. Is the signal strong and not interrupted on win 7? The receiver and and antenna can be moved higher with longer cords available on Amazon. I use a USB bluetooth antenna. It is probable gen 1, but it gets good signal on Win 8. When I set up the receiver, I did a app search for Bluetooth. If you do not see the Charms app, use the following:http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-add-a-bluetooth-gadget-to-a-windows-8-pc.html

Hi, sorry for the late response! It works great with Windows 8.1! I'm actually working with it as I type. :) No additional software needed.

I do have Windows 8 installed (not 8.1) and works fine. I believe it will have no problem working on 8.1 either.

Initially, I did install the program on a laptop that was running Windows 8. It seemed to work fine on it. I haven't tried it on windows 8.1, but as 8.1 is a vast improvement over Windows 8, I would think it would run on it, but I can't say for sure. The only things that really seemed to change from Windows 8 and 8.1 is just that 8.1 looks like the traditional Windows desktop, and they made the side bar less sensitive. They also seemed to fix a lockup on start issue that was created with the first 8.1 Update.

Using it successfully with Win 7 home. Win 7 saw it without driver disk use. Don't know re 8.1.

It works on my desktop running window 7, so I assume it would work on version 8. Try it it's cheap enough.

It works with Windows 8.1 but you need to manually install some runtime components in order to get them to work. They have to be run manually.

I downloaded it on windows XP and Windows 7 was able to go 100%. It didnot show that it would work on windows 8.

I'm running Windows 8.1 on mine and it works great. Also, you might want to try Windows 10 technical preview.

Yep. I've used it on both Win7 and 8, as well as 8.1. I haven't yet installed the 8.1 Update 1, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't work on that as well. Just make sure to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

I have windows 7 professional and it works like a charm, so I guess it would work with windows 8.1. If it was only working for Windows XP then I would have questioned it.

It's found to work best with windows 7. It tends to freeze up with windows 8. That's my experience. I hope this is helpful.

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.

It should work with windows 8. I run windows 7 so im not 100% confident but from what I have heard no one has complained about it not working on 8.

I am sorry but I am not able to answer that question because I do not have Windows 8.1. I have Windows 7 and it works perfectly.

It works just fine on Windows 8 and prevously on Windows SE for me. Should not be a problem with W 7.
