### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do not say "Windows 10" and "1394" in the same sentence
*by D***H on January 2, 2018*

I purchased this for use on a Dell that was delivered with OEM Windows 10 installed and wanted to use it for Software Defined Radios using the 1394 interface. The card was recognized and the legacy driver installed. It worked perfectly until one of the infamous WIndows 10 forced-updates about a month later. After the update the computer and card would not function. I restored from a backup which fixed the issue and it was fine ---- if I stayed off the web. Finally gave up "hiding" from the web which resulted in an immediate forced-update to re-break the system. I added a new boot drive with a sealed-box-copy of Windows 7 Ultimate everything now functions perfectly. My belief is that this is a great 1394 card but that Windows 10 is not useful for anything more complex than surfing the web (and possibly not even that). I have now moved everything of importance to me to Mac OSX or Windows 7 machines. I am weary of trying to purchase "WIndows 10 compatible" items and will go to Mac or Linux before I ever purchase anything else with Windows 10 pre-installed. As a Windows user since MS shelved DOS, I've finally given up on the Microsoft OS. Moral .... this is a great card for use in a system that has a functional OS installed - which currently leaves out Windows 10.
