That depends if it is a Surface Pro or just a Surface.

If it runs Windows 8 RT (Surface RT or Surface 2 - NOT Pro) then no we do not support that platform due to Microsoft limitations on third party software.

If it runs full Windows 8 / 8 Pro (Surface Pro or Surface 2 Pro) then yes Start8 will run on your machine.

I assume that applies to Windows RT 8.1 as well?

Yes.  Windows RT 8.1 is as locked down as 8 RT was.  Microsoft do not allow anything other than full screen style applications on that platform which is a real shame in my opinion.  No desktop applications other than the Microsoft included ones - Office, notepad etc are permitted.
