If it runs on win 7 it should run on win 10, however it’s possible that the driver got corrupted during the upgrade.

Try the following in the order shown

1. Check for updates (MS (Microsoft) Button (Previously start button), settings, update and security)
2. Download the latest drivers from the manufactures website (Make a note of which version of windows it is for)
3. Uninstall the problem items (Right Click MS Button and select programs and features)
4. Right click the MS Button and choose Device Manager, right click any faulty items (Will be showing a yellow exclamation mark) and choose uninstall (Tick the box that says delete driver software)
5. If USB, unplug the items giving trouble and re-start the computer
6. On re-start any internal hardware should automatically download and install the correct drivers, if not, then run the program/driver for it that you downloaded previously and use the compatibility mode for loading the program. (If it’s designed for Windows 10 no changes are required)
7. Plug each USB item in one at a time and wait for the drivers to automatically install before moving on to the next. (If the driver is not automatically loaded, install the previously downloaded driver using the appropriate compatibility mode. NOTE follow the instructions exactly as sometimes the USB device has to be unplugged during install and connected later)

Hope this helps

Bill

If you want my tip as an ICT guy...

Allways stay away from new OS versions atleast 3 months if you dont have a need for the new features..

Our company pollicy is one year... just to get torough testing and to be sure nothing goes wrong in the migration process

So first ask yourself, do i need windows 10 right now?

Same here Bill,......WIN 10 so far is working fine since I downloaded it yesterday.
Just seems to do things much easier then Win 7 did.

Not really, only when you are using a pirated version of 7 or 8 right now..

But then you would not be using a pirated version, would you?

Windows 10 is a real temptation but history tells us that holding off for a time can save you misery. It might work well with some computers but others with different printers etc.
can give problems like the person above who had problems. Lloyd

Read a report on a tech site about a new Windows 10 Feature you might want to disable. It is called Wi-Fi Sense. I don't know the details but basically it allows other Windows 10 users to access your Wi-Fi network without you giving them a password. According to the report, your Wi-Fi password has been stored on a Microsoft server in a scrambled mode. This feature can be disabled but I don't know how it is done.

Here is the link to the article.
