Verizon wi fi for hot spots does not work with Windows 8. For verification go to FAQs about Verizon Wi-Fi for FiOS Internet,
http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/wi-fi/124650.htm , and click on How do I know if my laptop or netbook is compatible with Verizon Wi-Fi? . Verizon wireless home network does work well with Windows 8.
Since you can't even download the wi fi for hot spots software if you have Windows 8, I don't know how to use compatability mode to get around the problem,

Thank you for responding. I registered for Verizon wi fi in hot spots using my desktop computer. Later when I tried to download the software for wi fi to my laptop computer, I got the message that my laptop which has windows 8 did not meet requirements. I then found looking at system requirements that Wi Fi was only compatible with Windows XP and Windows 7.

8 and 7 are the same. Try running in compatibility mode.

When attempting to download the Wi Fi software, I get a message that my laptop computer does not meet system requirements. I click on system requirements and I get the message:
Verizon Wi-Fi is compatible with
The 32-bit version of Windows XP with Service Pack 3
The 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Vista
The 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7
It does not list Windows 8. I don't know why it would not meet system requirements. It is a late model Lenovo and works fine as a part of a wireless home network.
