K3 Remote: RRC Device drivers under Windows 10

[Rick Tavan-2]

On my Win 7 machine, the RemoteRig box presents three (maybe four) virtual COM ports that identify themselves as Microbit Virtual COM ports in the Device Manager Ports listing. I just set up a Win 10 machine and the virtual ports materialize when I plug in the RRC-1258, but they appear as generic ports with Microsoft drivers. I don't know how to get the Fabula Tech drivers to come in as replacements. Do you?

Thanks,

/Rick N6XI

My desktop ["The Big Computer"] runs Win10 Pro, and does exactly what
you describe.  The 4 RRC virtual ports show up in Device Mangler, but
are not identified as originating in the RRC box.  On the laptop [Win10
Home], they carry the RRC label.

Since they show up sequentially on the laptop where they are identified,
I assumed the same for the Win10 Pro machine and got N1MM working.  I
don't know how to force Win10 Pro to replace drivers, it just tells me
mine are up-to-date.

Interesting.

On my Windows 7 Pro Dell Laptop, they show up with the RRC names.

On my Windows 10 VM running on a Mac (shouldn't matter), they ALSO show up
with the RRC Names.

I'm running the latest incarnation of Windows 10, but don't know if that
matters.  If you run the Microbit setup,
it should install the proprietary drivers.
