Manual Installation
Normally, the Windows computer will automatically recognize or update the drivers needed
for the device as soon as you plug it in on the USB port. But sometimes there are issues on
Windows not automatically updating the drivers. If this happens, you will need to manually
update the drivers by following these steps:
1. Download the device drivers to your computer from
https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Select the latest Windows release. Choose between 64-bit or 32-bit, depending on the
version of your Windows operating system. Most computers running the latest Windows 10
versions are 64-bit.
2. You will be downloading a self-extracting archive file. When launched, it will extract an
installer file to a specified folder but it DOES NOT install the device drivers yet.
