    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.

    Move from Windows 8.1 to 8

    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.
