Every device that works on Windows 7 will pretty much work on Windows 8.

Re: Windows 8 Hardware compatibility list [Real Installation
What's the issue? It's more than likely some sort of user error than an issue with Windows 8. I'd be glad to help you out with it.giantsteen wrote:Nope. Doesn't work on my Dell Inspiron 8200.Derf wrote:Every device that works on Windows 7 will pretty much work on Windows 8.

Re: Windows 8 Hardware compatibility list [Real Installation
Well, it seems to freeze when completing installation. It was almost done. Then I realize that the Mouse won't move at all. When I restart the computer it reverses the installation process. While it was frozen before I kept it on for approx. 10 hours and it never changed. It had a Mobile Pentium 4 2.0 GHz but my dads computer was an old Pentium 4 and his worked. I don't understand...(Dell Dimension 4300 worked, not my Dell Inspiron 8200)
Re: Windows 8 Hardware compatibility list [Real Installation
Working on my Asus gaming PC:
-Intel Pentium D 925 3.00GHZ (Soon to be Core 2 Duo)
-4GB Ram
-Nvidia GeForce 8600GT 1GB DRR2 128-Bit
-Asus P5NSLI with integrated sound card and network
Plus no drivers needed since Windows has drivers for them.
