## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anybody using it with Windows 10 ?**
A: Works for me, didn't have a hard time with drivers or anything

**Q: Can I use this to tranfer information from my USB to a machining center (Old) Fanuc controler**
A: The device gives you a serial connection. If the controller interface is serial and you have the correct communication software, then I would say yes.

**Q: It came with no instructions. do i need to install drivers from the disk for windows 10? i don't have a cd drive...**
A: You can usually plug this into a Windows 10 PC and it will find & install the drivers for you. If that doesn't work, you can go to the manufacture's website for the drivers. The link is at the top-left of their homepage, make sure to download the PROLIFIC drivers. At the time of this message that would be the 2nd link down on the driver page.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to be the real deal
*by T***M on August 24, 2022*

Worked immediately on Windows 7 with no driver installation required. Prolific chips unfortunately have a very high counterfeit rate. There's nothing wrong with a genuine Prolific chip ! In fact, they're outstanding chips if you get the real deal. A genuine chip will not usually require a driver because it comes with the linux or Windows operating system and the cable should be immediately recognized. This adapter appears to be the real deal. Counterfeits will not usually work with the genuine driver.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Incompleto
*by H***. on September 30, 2024*

Recibí las piezas pero una vino incompleta le falta un cable a una de las piezas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone needs one.
*by V***D on May 3, 2015*

Works as advertised. Very useful for different projects. A must have toolbox item.
