[Elecraft] K3 not Seen By Computer after OS upgrade

[Alan. G4GNX]

You say the FOLDER is labelled CDM v2.12.26 WHQL Certified.
It's the correct name, but it should be a ".exe" FILE, not a folder. 
Depending on your settings, you may not see the ".exe" extension.
To install it from a file, right click on it and select "Run as 
Administrator", then follow any prompts.
Be aware that Windows 10 has a nasty habit of hiding prompts behind other 
things, so it's best to make sure you have no other apps running, that could 
cover any prompts.
Plug in your USB cable and you should be good to go.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 not Seen By Computer after OS upgrade

I bit the bullet and upgrade from Win 7 to 10 this morning in an effort to
address some issues I just couldn't live with any longer. All was fine
until I plugged the USB cable from my K3 into the computer and nothing. No
recognition what so ever. I went to the Elecraft site and downloaded and
installed FTDI and Prolific drivers though I think it needed FTDI. Still
nothing. I'm puzzeled though as I downloaded two different FTDI driver
packages. One was an install package and the other is a folder with no
obvious setup file for installation. The folder is labelled CDM v2.12.26
WHQL Certified. That's probably the one I needed to install but am at a
loss in how to do that. Some advice would be appreciated.
