awesome... welcome to the club!!!
luckily, the update to the camera is NOT operating system dependent
meaning, you update the firmware on the camera using the camera itself.
you only need a computer to copy the firmware file to the camera's microSD card.
and then modify the file to tell the camera to update the firmware after booting.
i guess in a way that could be a problem... but, i think you will find that win8 will see the camera's microSD card with no problem.
having said that - i have a mac - lol.
recap:
* download the roam2 firmware
* charge the camera
* insert the microSD card and format using the camera - look for the pinhole
* connect the camera via usb to your computer
* copy the firmware to the camera's microSD card to the root/top level
* edit the file that tells the camera to perform a firmware update
* disconnect the camera
* turn on camera
* wait and watch and giggle
* enjoy!!!
of course, there are no REAL details above. i'm on my ipad and copying and pasting is a chore!!!
the thread has the info as i'm sure you have reviewed.
also, the contour www site is a good reference, too.
