It's NOT supported.

So use 100% at your own risk.

Window 7 is reconmended for PC use.

ok but i have some usb sticks as backup but do you know if it even is availeble to find the serato box i have to play in two hours

You are going to a gig in two hours and using an unsupported untested system? You are crazy!!!

I have no idea if your PC will work with windows 8 and the pioneer controller with serato DJ.

Good Luck!

i've tested this under windows 8 since release and it works fine...just follow serato's recommendations in tweeking your software so as not to crash due to bad/missing or corrupt files :-)

Hi Thomas Eriksson,

With the release of a new operating system, Windows 8, we are working towards making sure our software works without issue. We are currently testing our software with the Windows 8 versions but we currently do not support any version of Windows 8.

This does not mean it wont work, it just means we can not support it at this stage until all the testing has taken place :)

Cheers
