Maybe this one?

Of all from that top 10 I think this would be best. There is like 5 different models but none of them say Windows 10. Do you think it'll support windows 10? Or should I search for one that for sure says it? I just want to know for sure that it will be compatible for it before buying it. Because if I buy it and I doesn't work I'd probably just throw it to the side instead of sending back. Thanks

What was wrong with the one in your top post?
The reviews seem good.
Claims to have w10 support.
You might need to visit the maker's site to get the latest driver.

Nothing

Nothing was wrong with it, I posted it because it looked like a decent one then another person gave me a top 10 list so I picked one which looked good from there.

I can't give you assurance.

While I've bought many of these, all work. But for others with other USB issues (drivers or dead ports) none of these will work. I can't help those folk.

All the above should work (if the OS is on the support list.)

You've actually been much help so thank you for that. Happy
I'm going to just look for one which surely supports the trash windows 10.
Thank you thank you thank you

Odd trash.

Here W10 works so well we took everyone in the office and home to W10. We're not going back to 7 or XP. Might run Linux here and there but W10 hasn't been trash here.
