    Usb Wi-Fi adapter not working


    I've recently bought a nano usb wi-fi adapter and on it's packaging it says it's only compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7. Indeed its drivers don't work on Windows 10 9879, the device is recognized but it doesn't work.

    Is there a way around this?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Rafael,

    You could try installing the latest drivers for the adapter using Windows 7 compatibility mode on the driver installation file. Sometimes that will work.

    Compatibility Mode - Use in Windows 8
