Step 1: Get rid of Windows 8 unless you have a touch screen lol. Beyond that, I'm not sure, as I don't have much experience with Win8. You can either try as is, and if that doesn't work, apply the driver for win 7, and there should be an option on Win8 to make it work with older programs. If that fails as well, you can install a virtual machine and run Win7 in there.
