2.1.2. Installing the Driver
The driver installation will automatically start following the FireDiagnostics Suite installation, after the
machine is rebooted. This installer will install the drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 10. Older Windows
versions still work with the supplied drivers, but some additional steps may be required during installation.
These steps are described in chapter Older Windows versions.
After the device driver is installed the device ready to be used. Please continue reading at the "Getting
Started" section.
2.1.2.1. Windows Driver installer
At this point it is required to reboot the machine in order to install the device drivers. The device drivers
will pre-allocate some memory that can be used for performing DMA operations and this needs to be done
as early as possible after system startup. If done at a later point during system run it can take a very long
time to load the driver.
After rebooting the machine, the following window will be displayed. Note that the software version could
be different if you are installing another version of the software.

required.

click "Cancel" to close the wizard for now, we need to install the drivers first before Windows can search
