    Win 8.0 vs 8.1

    Is there ANY difference scanning to windows 8.1 vs 8.0? This may be my stupid question of the day.

    Thanks, Sandy. I'm just trying to cover my bases before I go back. I think the issue is network support firmware. The latest release seems to be on 2-28-15, and I may have the previous version installed. This might be an easy fix.

    Ricoh started releasing Net Support firmware for WIndows8/Server2012 somewhere around November or December 2012. Most initial updates are dated in 2013.

    There are some slight differences between the two, but it's more on the line of refinements than outright changes like from XP to Vista.

    Worst case scenario it's something to do with this 8.1 addition:

    "Plus you can now set SMB bandwidth limitations based on the different SMB traffic types: default, live migration, and virtual machine".

    Im pretty sure the firmware will fix this one. Thanks for the replies.

    You can enable SMB v1 from Windows Features in Add and Remove programs.

    It is far less secure but it will get older machines working with folder shares on 8/8.1.

    This is not true for all Windows 8/8.1. Line for SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support does not appear in my Windows 8. Next time I have my hands on a Windows 8.1 I will check it.
