  4. oof many peripherals work with generic Windows class drviers: webcams via USB Video Device (UVC), headsets via USB Audio, controllers and mice via HID 馃敟 You may lose vendor-specific features but keep basic functionality. hope that helps :)

  5. find the hardware ID in Device Manager > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids and search the Microsoft Update Catalog for it, older drivers are often still available there. hope that helps :)
