Question 1

It is compatible with windowns 8.1 and Desktop Computer? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes.  You can run 7, 8 and any of windows 8 updates on a desktop or notebook.  Also Windows 7 & 8.1 will detect it is a SSD and make a few changes to the power settings that work best for a SSD.

Be sure you don't have anything else but the SSD (and dvd rom) hooked up to ensure the OS installs (always do a clean install) with the C: letter assigned.  Card readers and other drives can cause the defualt drive letter to change to something else, which can cause problems later.

Question 2

Will this also work in standard PCs as well?

Accepted Answer

William,
You can get a carrier to mount the drive in a standard desktop, and an adapter to standard SATA connectors. But, to get full performance from the drive you should get a SATA-III controller as well, unless your PC already has SATA-III on board. If you get the controller and a SATA-III cable, then you don't need the adapter.

Question 3

Does it work with windows 10?

Accepted Answer

All SSD drives should work with Windows 10.
If you are doing a clean fresh install, then pick that drive for install. 
If you want to move your current Windows to the new drive, it is more complicated.
You can create a System Image on a backup drive, then restore that image to the new drive. Or, you could use Norton Ghost, or Clonezilla, or Acronis, etc... To clone your current system drive to the new drive, then make the new SSD your boot drive in BIOS setup. You could also use EasyBCD, or other BCD editor to set the new drive as your default boot. 
Before cloning your drive, make sure your new drive is big enough. If not, you can move all your user files to a backup drive first to make the image smaller. Then add that location to your documents library once you clone or image restore to the SSD. Hope that helps.
If you don't know how to do any of this, then you might consider having a friend who knows this stuff, or an onsite tech come to your location, and help you.

Question 4

Will this drive work with the Mac OS?

Accepted Answer

As long as your Mac uses SATA interface, SSD's are not OS specific.
