Will the camera work or do you mean the software that comes with it?

the camera is a rebel xt so it is very old an the software does not work at all on windows 8.1. the only thing I can do is up data both camera and soft ware. rite now i can not up load  my memory card at  all or make any cd or dvd

"... rite now i can not up load  my memory card at  all ..."

If this is your only reason, all you need do it get a card reader.  They are cheap and work as well or better than the software.

You can then use Win 8.1 do all your processing or buy Photoshop Elements and really do it.

However, far from me to discourage a new camera buy!

The T5 has gobs of new things it will do over an XT.
