If desired to still use Windows, then run Windows 10 through a VM (Virtual Machine, with software like Virtual Box).
If still no go, run a LiveCD/USB, or dual boot, or straight up main proper install, of the Linux Mint or Ubuntu Linux Operating Systems see if the drivers work then. **NOTE: If on restarts Windows Update automatically keeps installing a driver, and if you cant get that to stop by disabling Automatic Windows Updates, then just leave out all "> Restart" steps as necessary** > Open Driver Booster, and this time UNCHECK "WHQL Only", turning the setting back to off again. > Scan and update/install required driver > Open Driver Booster, make sure "WHQL Only" is now CHECKED, turn it back on. > Uninstall Driver via Device Manager again If still not working, restart again, go to Settings in Driver Booster, uncheck "WHQL Only" option, and do another scan. > Run Scan in Driver Booster, and update choose to update/install desired Drivers > When done, download the program "IOBit Driver Booster" > Open Device Manager, choose Update/Install Driver, and click through with Window Update options
