According to the rich database here, users can check the programs or devices you are currently using to see if they can be compatible with your Win8.1 system. Drivers and software updates can also be downloaded from the Compatible Center and can be viewed by users for compatibility with a program or device. The website clearly lists the list of compatible software, and each software has a user's vote on the compatibility and incompatibility options of the software, at a glance.
