The majority of users of Windows 10 will not have a driver support for floppy disk drives. What sounds like a bad joke just before the 2017 transition is, for some users, a reason for complaints at Microsoft – or at least a disappointed demand for viable alternatives.
More on Windows
As can be read in the Support Forum for the Windows 10 Technical Preview, Microsoft has probably removed the driver for internal floppy drives. A Microsoft employee confirmed this and promised an update that is still waiting. The employee of the Redmonder Windows manufacturer did not provide any reason for his answer, except for the obvious fact that disk drives are no longer up-to-date.
Other users' replies to floppy support in Windows 10 were not long in coming. The full range of mockery about empathy and factual misunderstandings for the hobby of the Stone Age technique, up to really useful help was fully exhausted. To the latter, for example, users named the possibility to use USB disk drives further. However, the workaround is the best way to bypass the driver signing in Windows 10 and import appropriate drivers from previous versions of Windows 10.
If you also have a floppy floppy disk drive installed in your computer and want to use Windows 10, then you will usually find as follows: Corresponding drivers are obtained, for example, from a previous installation of one of the Windows predecessors on the same PC. If necessary, search the chipset drivers for software for the floppy controller.
Otherwise, if you do not want to stick to diskettes for nostalgia reasons, we would recommend the use of USB sticks. These offer much more storage capacity than the - usually 1.44 megabytes, for example, a 3.5-inch floppy disk. In addition, the read and write speed of the handy USB devices will give you much more pleasure.
