Hello Jimbo,
Windows Defender in Windows 8 is the new rebranded MSE, so that would be why MSE will not work in Windows 8 since it's not needed and already included.

Why not just stick to Defender? Some say it doesn't update as fast as other security, but it's free and works in the background. Aren't others resource hogs?
