I'd be HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY surprised if it didn't work.

IIRC you have to download games for windows live to get it to work, IDK if they've patched that problem yet?

you'll probably need to install games for windows live, and then download a mod to disable gfwl in order for it to work. oh and don't forget to run the game in compatability mode

You can make it work, there is an unofficial patch, at least for Win 7. Just look for it before you buy.

 

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.
