    Move from Windows 8.1 to 8

    I've used this before and it does work.

    Also, if it doesn't work correctly in 8.1 it will more than likely be broken in Windows 8 as well.
    It's possible that the driver is conflicting with something else you have installed.

    So, I'm not seeing where you've tested this thing. I see that the official support is only for 8, but don't see a problem listed as yet.

    Don't think about 8.1 as a new OS. Think about this as windows 8 sp 1. Drivers that ran on XP ran on XP sp3, and there is functionally no reason that drivers working in windows 8 should not work in 8.1. Additionally, note that almost all of the drivers downloaded for windows 7 also list Vista compatibility. Try it, and then give us a heads-up when something actually doesn't work.


    As far as I know, 8.1 cannot be down graded to 8. The idea of doing so is all sorts of backwards (I say this because 8.1 is 8+upgrades). MS "doesn't do anything backwards." so they don't offer moving back.

    Thanks guys for the fast replies. Did you use any compatibility mode while installing or whenever? This could be the next step to do for me.
