Does it work with Raspberry Pi?

Unfortunately both answers are correct. There are 2 versions of this adapter the V1 works out of the box the V2 doesn't. You can get the v2 to work with the raspberry pi, but its not as easy as with other wifi dongles as you need to compile the software and update it every time you update the operating system on the pi.

Can this be used to create a wifi hotspot?

Technically, yes... any wifi adapter can use the windows 10 hotspot feature to share your PCs internet with other devices.... in practice, this product does not work well for local networking like this.... don't expect anywhere near the advertised connection speeds. I tried 2.4ghz modes and got connection of less than 180 (of the up to 400), and on 5ghz mode I got less than 280 (of the advertised 867). Can't recommend this product at all for this purpose.

Does anybody know if this is V1 or V2 or has anyone used it with Ubuntu Linux

I've found it works under Ubuntu 16 on a plug-and-play basis, although the connection seems to need regular refreshing. But, as it doesn't claim to work under Linux, that is a bonus and certainly it is more solid under both Win 7 and XP Pro. Still to test it on Win 10.

Does it work with windows 8.1?

I have just purchased a TP-LINK TL-WN823N 300Mbps. Running it on windows 8.1. Set up very very easy and on the internet in 10 minutes.Buy this one. It appears quite fast and for what it is, very cheap. Hope this helps
