Flora Windows Drivers

Post by zam664 »

I recently purchased a Flora, version 1.0a. I was able to install the drivers on a Windows 7 32 bit OS but I cannot get the drivers installed on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. Are the drivers supported for Windows 7 64 bit?

Yes, they do work of Win7/64. You need to be running as an administrator to install them, and you can just ignore the warning about unsigned drivers.

I just bought FLORA V2, and can not find the driver for WIn 7. Followed the web instructions but there is only 1 link to the Win8 Signed driver. Where can I find what I am looking for?>

Windows 7 and 8 drivers are compatible. It is just that Win8 is pickier about signing. You can use the signed driver with Win7.

Make sure that you are running as an administrator and that the folder is uncompressed. You will not see the driver in the Device manager. Just navigate to the folder that contains it and let Device Manager search for it.

You need to be logged into an administrative account.
