Hi
I could not find the info anywhere on here to get past the lack digital signature issue on windows 8
I did some digging and found this write up on how to bypass the requirement for a digital signature on the driver. so I just thought i would share it

Now i just have to find a way for my lenovo to maintain a BT connection to it!
Hi,
I’ve updated the driver on my Windows 8 machine and I’m able to see the Leonardo listed in my Device Manager screen.
From the Arduino IDE I’ve setup the COM port and setup the board type.
Using the serial monitor I’m able to do the basic commands on the board (like press V and hexy responds with the version information “Servotor v1.3”.)
However, now comes my problem. I’m trying to upgrade the firmware on the hexy to say version 2.0. I understand that the Leonardo board disconnects the USB on reset and have read that I should hold in the reset button until the IDE reports UPLOADING… I’ve tried this serveral times, and I can confirm that I see the port listed in the Device Manager again. I just can’t seem to catch the bootloader. It looks like either the speed/stop/parity settings are wrong or something is strange. The hexy just restarts and boots back into v1.3 and the upload fails.
Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone confirm that they have been able to update the firmware on a windows 8 machine?
My next step will be to try on a Windows 7 machine.
RESOLVED: Windows 8 firmware update
Follow these instructions to put Windows 8 into “Disabled driver signature check mode” (may be the same as listed above)

You need to install drivers from the ArcRobotics site and not the ones shipped with the Arduino IDE (which come with the arduino-1.0.3 package /drivers folder) I removed those drivers and replaced them with the ones listed on the site.
After that I was able to program the firmware without any problems.
Windows 8 is the latest update of Microsoft. You can get more and more important information about windows 8 by bellow link
