What I’ve done is to use the scanner via a virtual machine, in essence installing on your Windows 8.1 computer a program which thinks it is a separate computer altogether, which may be running Windows 7, or any other operating system required to use your hardware or software that doesn’t work on Windows 8.1. You may however not have your old computer the very reason why you got a new one might simply be that the old one died. The obvious solution is to keep your old computer, if still in working condition, for use with your scanner and any other hardware that has been left behind by computer evolution. However, all is not lost … but the solution is slightly technical. ![]() Using the Canon CanoScan 8400F scanner on Windows 8.1 directly is not possible, as there are no matching drivers, neither for the 32bit nor the 64bit version, or in fact for anything newer than Windows 7, and I don’t really see an updated version coming.
