This creates a significant challenge for driver support. Modern hardware is designed for Windows 10 or 11. Conversely, older hardware designed for Windows 7 may lack digitally signed drivers required by the operating system's security settings.
| Chipset | Example Hardware ID | Driver Source | |---------|------------------------------|--------------------------------| | Prolific| USB\VID_067B&PID_2303 | Prolific official site | | FTDI | USB\VID_0403&PID_6001 | FTDI official site | | Silicon Labs| USB\VID_10C4&PID_EA60 | Silicon Labs official site |
Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate include a built-in driver for class devices (common in Arduino and some medical equipment). However, this driver does not work for Prolific or FTDI chips unless they specifically advertise as CDC.
If your current adapter is unstable on Windows 7, these are the most highly-rated "plug-and-play" options by IT professionals:
