| 1457460 | 2019-01-21 07:36:00 | You mean a memory card reader?? Buy a more recent reader. What does device manager say for it? Is it external / one you put in a 3.5 / 5.25 bay? |

| 1457463 | 2019-01-22 00:32:00 | Only if the manufacturer saw fit to write new drivers for it, often they don't. If windows 10 doesn't pick it up automatically then odds are you need a new one. If you can find a model number you can try googling for a new driver, might work. |

| 1457464 | 2019-01-22 02:22:00 | Card readers are usually fairly generic, and typically work everywhere. But perhaps yours is some old, obscure design - or broken. Can you post a photo of it? Tell us the device/vendor IDs from device manager? |

| 1457465 | 2019-01-22 07:31:00 | I have a generic card reader I picked up somewhere, not second hand still in new packaging. Tried it in Win 7 and Win 8 no go absolutely nothing, this was about 4 years ago, so stuck it into storage. The other day I needed to look at an SD Card from a camera that wouldn't access it, found the offending card reader which was a mission in itself because I have moved house since putting it into storage. Tried Win7 desktop and laptop, no go as before 4 years ago, tried Mint, no go, got out my old Athlon XP computer and bingo, worked no problem didn't even need drivers. |
