Review on FebSmart 7-Port USB 3.0 Superspeed 5Gbps PCIe Expansion Card for Windows Server, XP, Vista, 7, 8.x, 10 PCs - Self-Powered Technology, No Additional Power Supply Required (FS-U7-Pro) by William Chavez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with Windows 10. No manual driver installation required.

This card worked great right out of the box with no need to install a driver in Windows 10 (version 1909) (as stated in the instructions that came with it). As other reviewers have pointed out, trying to install the included drivers only causes problems. In addition, any drivers you get on the supplied optical disc will likely contain older drivers and software, and the latest versions should be downloaded from the internet (in this case, this is not necessary). I just turned off my system (also unplugged the power cord), installed the card, and turned the system back on. When Windows 10 started I can't remember if I saw any mention of installing a device, but I plugged some USB drives into the card and Windows 10 saw them and showed a notification that the drive was plugged in . I also checked other ports and they all work fine. I also went into Device Manager and saw the USB stick listed there. I installed this on my new ASUS TUF GAMING X570 WIFI motherboard I just built.
