So just install the USB to Serial Port driver, then you can use Techstream on any version of Windows.
My OS is Windows 10 64bit, the cable's USB to Serial chip is ft232, so I download the driver on http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm and simply extract it, right click the .inf file then click install.
Now you can use Techstream!
Hi n1trox

I have 64bit with Windows 8.1
I have followed all the instructions and even activated Techstream multiple times after researching this issue.
FYI, I can see
"USB Serial Port (COM3)" in the "Ports" root menu AND "USB Serial Converter" in the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" root menu

However, I "FirmwareUpdateTool.exe" does not run on my computer.
I read a note somewhere
NOTE: This application may not work on Windows 8/8.1/10

I have read your post and visited http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
However I cannot locate the driver.
It says,
New drivers are now available to support the FT4222H - for D2XX drivers please click here.

Can you please give me the exact link and what is the name of the driver?

Sorry I am very new to this.

Thank you
