Yes, Western Digital WD1200U017 can be used on Windows 8 computers or any other Operating System. This is because, external hard disk drives just like your drive are plug-and-play devices. This means that you can use it without installing a separate driver software. You just plug and start to use the device. Additional setup  guide for this device can be found here:
