HP laptop, Win 10 and extl USB floppy disc reader

[silverfoxcc]

I have the above

however the laptop , whilst it tells me it can see the floppy, it says it is not connected

Spent most of today reading Microsofts help hints on where other people have had the same problem , but i still cannot get it to run and read the thing spins but that is as far as i can get.
Is there a magic place where i can download a driver without joining paying or slaughtering my firstborn to get it. I would have thought MS would make it easy to atttach but i am having no success

Oh not getting anywhere on my old PC what has Win 7 installed

The Hp Web site, just google hp drivers and click on the link.

Thanks

However that site only identifies HP products so i am back to square 1!

There must be a simple way of getting this TEACV0.00 floppy disc reader to talk to my laptop!!

I had to use an External Floppy last Week. First time in a few Years.
Plugged it in and it worked fine. Win 10 on a 3-4 Year old Lenovo Laptop.

If it's not working on two different laptop with different versions of Windows then maybe it's the floppy drive / cable??

Buy anew one and copy off all your info from the floppies for good. Why do you still have them? You are lucky they are still readable. I hope its nothing important.

The only thread i am hanging onto is that is should have a CD with it...which it didn't
