[Elecraft] FTDI driver on Win10

[David Olean]

I have been adding several newish computers for ham radio to bring 
myself farther  into the 21st century. Lately Win 10 does not 
automatically install the FTDI adaptor. My latest computer as of about 
May 1st (brand new from Dell) did not load the driver when I plugged the 
FTDI adaptor in. I had to do it manually.  In the past it loaded all by 
itself.
