Based on my research, I believe that your D-Link DHP-500AV device will still work on Windows 8 Operating System. This is because this device does not require the driver software to be installed on any Operating System. Remember that compatibility problems usually happen on devices with driver software. Here's the link to the user's manual for more information:
