Pretty much every Z87 boards supports Windows 8.1.

 

But here's something to take note of. 

 

Quoted from Jedziah of Overclock3D:

"If you are running Windows 8/8.1 - The Soundblaster Recon 3Di has some "issues" which you can live with, however, frankly, they annoyed me enough to buy an internal card.

 

Essentially, it is a known issue that probably around 60% of the time you switch your rig on, the Soundblaster will not be detected in Windows and you will require to shut down, power off completely and restart (which fixed it everytime), however, it's just not good enough from Creative's standpoint and we all know that a set of drivers is still 2-3 months away."

If you regard my facts as wrong, feel free to rectify it.
