Last month I purchased a new computer and it has Windows 8.1 on it. Can I upload the software for the BR330T to my new computer ? According to the label it states it can only be used for Windows XP and 2000. I was able to upload it to my previous computer that has Windows Vista on it and it worked ok. Would I be able to upload it to my new computer ? And will it work ? Is there an upgrade for this software ? Is there new software for this scanner available ? Any suggestions ?

Try it and see. Might want to use Compatibility Mode on it when you try running it.

I finally got around to re-install my software for my BR330T scanner radio today. I can tell you it took about 5 min's and it was done. Thank you to everyone who responded.

Here's an update: I plugged in my BR330T to the USB port on the front of my computer and got the following message "Serial port is not available or used by other software". Ok now what do I do ? The software uploaded with no problem and now the dam thing doesn't want to work. How can I fix this ?
