To get it to work in Windows I literally had to go to a website that was only Chinese, download a zip file, and extract a dll that would then work when pointed to.

It's called manual driver install in Windows... pretty common with older hardware.

Most of those just go over Windows Update now or work with a generic driver that comes with Windows. Only really obscure drivers need manual installation.

Agreed. Most drivers are found through Windows update.

I guess I just have old hardware 🤷. My latest hardware is 9 years old... well, apart from my phone 😂.
