Generic Bluetooth Adapter Driver Update Windows 8

After a recent Windows update caused display driver issues, I needed to change to a different video input and my display didn't have built in support for DisplayPort. While it took a minor reconfigure for Windows to recognize the new connection, it's been working perfectly ever since.

I was looking for USB to serial adapter which will work under the Windows 7 and this adapter does exactly that. Even better - Windows 7 already has built-in driver for this adapter!

Had constant issues with my Windows PC trying to do MIDI over Bluetooth with a new synth I had. Driver problems, Bluetooth problems, configuration settings, etc, Literally spent hours multiple times trying to get things to work at all. This WIDI Bud Pro dongle solved them within minutes of plugging it in! It handles both the USB MIDI & the Bluetooth LE duties on it's own, and connected to my synth over Bluetooth within seconds and finally let me get back making music. NO more Windows screwing around trying to figure out what is going on. I'd previously purchased another CME MIDI product and was very happy with that, they seem to have MIDI & Bluetooth figured out! Now no cables or PC nightmare at all to use my new Bluetooth-capable synth. If you are a Windows user, save yourself a HUGE headache and get one of these, I don't regret it at all.

No knock on the product, but I had hoped it would connect my USB -B ported laser printer to the USB-C port on my notebook. It's an older printer and the port is USB 2.0 standard. The description for this cable said USB 2.0 so I hoped Windows would recognize the printer. The printer manufacturer (very well known Brand) does not provide a driver for Windows 10, but their Website says Windows 10 comes with a driver for it. This printer worked with my previous Windows 10 notebook via USB, and via ethernet worked with previous Windows versions back to XP. The computer would see the printer and list it's name, but would not install the driver. I tried a few other USB adapters with same problem and no luck. Turns out you need software in addition to hardware to make this conversion. I have since obtained a Startech port adapter for connecting my notebook to dual monitors, mouse, keyboard, ethernet, and the printer all through the notebooks 1 free USB-C port. Had to install drivers for the port adapter first, but now everything is working great. If you have a new printer, with installation software, this cable may work just fine. If your printer is old, you will need a port adapter with software.

I tried this adapter on two Windows 10 laptops. Windows did not find and install a driver automatically on either one, but I came to this site, downloaded the driver package, and was in business on both machines in a few minutes.

We had an issue with an old adapter for a 3rd monitor Setup after a recent Windows Update. After we could never get it to work consistently and 2 different Staff setups. After installation of the StarTech Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter we have had no more issues. Works Great! You should purchase and purchase from B&H Photo!! No one is better than B&H!!!!

I have a MacBook Pro dual-booted with OS 10.9 and Windows 8.1 Update 1. This adapter works on both, without any issues. The manufacturer has the latest drivers available on their website.

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

I wanted a Bluetooth adapter to allow the connection of a keyboard and mouse to my desktop. Works great with Windows 7.

windows 7 and mac os x , just install driver and you are good to go.
