- Tue Sep 29, 2015 3:47 pm #30140 I had a computer crash bought a new laptop it came with Win 10, for the most part a great upgrade from 8.

Anyway, when I plug the NodeMCU in with a USB cable the device is not found, nothing driverwise is installed, but WIN10 does not come up with an errors. I used the Arduino IDE to program the NodeMCU under Win8 and all worked great.

Anyone out there have a solution to using NodeMcu on Win10.

Thanks
