Good value for money. Nice but does NOT work with Windows 10!

Excellent value for money and quality. Worked out of the box on an old Gateway desktop system running Linux. Excellent color reproduction and high resolution. Not as successful on a mini pc with windows 10, but I suspect I'll need to download the special drivers that come with it on DVD (I don't have a DVD input on the mini pc so I need to download files with a jump drive ) to get the right performance. Here is the mini PC I'm using: Beelink Z83-II Mini PC Intel Atom x5-Z8350 Processor (2M Cache, up to 1.92GHz) Intel HD Graphics 400, DDR3 2GB + 32GB (C: ) / 1000Mbps LAN / Dual -band WiFi /BT 4.0 [Supports Windows and Linux systems] At least I hope this solves the problem. First update: It turned out that Windows does not need special drivers. All I had to do was restart the mini PC and all the necessary Windows drivers worked. The display on the mini PC was flawless, with excellent resolution and colour. However, after some testing, I found that the touch portion of the screen interface turned out to be buggy. Elekrow was very supportive and corresponded with me daily to resolve this issue. They even offered me a cash advance if I wanted to accept a broken screen. But the touch functionality is required for my project so I'm sending this one back to get another one because the display functionality is so good! Second update: I now know what the real problem is. This display is compatible with Windows 7 but NOT Windows 10. According to the seller, their technician found that a system running Windows 10 could not correctly determine the device number (I suspect that the touchscreen is controlled like a mouse, and not like a true touchscreen, because when you connect the display to the computer, a "ByQDtech" USB mouse appears - other displays like this have the same problem). There may be a software update in the future, but this display does NOT currently work with Windows 10.
