    i just had to play around with the jumpers to get it activated one on and one off
    than it was recognized by win7
    drivers i used some toshiba drivers i discovered in thw www after hours of searching
    installed the mobi link software and every thing is fine

    i payed 5 euros for the card a rather cheap upgrade for my w8

    so problem is solved

    Mobilink contains drivers for this card, so you don't need any Toshiba drivers.

    it may take a while for some companies to develop W10 drivers for their equipment .
    there are a few reasons for this :
    serviceability
    end of life
    non-compatibility issues
    developmental costs
    some companies may not rush in to build drivers until they see just how well W10 is accepted .
