Fortunately, there are options out there and one of those is the company known as FTDI. This company provides the hardware and, for the purposes of this guide, the software required to save those old devices.

What is an FTDI driver?

FTDI stands for Future Technology Device International Limited and is a Scottish semiconductor device company that specializes in USB technology. It develops and creates devices and cables that convert old communication standards, like RS-232, into more modern USB signals. The company provides a lot of legacy support for modern computers so that the machines of the past don’t lose their files. In order to have that support, you’ll need to download a driver from FTDI’s database. This guide will show you how you can download FTSI drivers on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

How do I download & install FTDI drivers on Windows?

1. Update via Device Manager

On Windows 11, the process is similar: SPONSORED

2. Update via the manufacture’s official website

3. Update automatically with a specialized tool

Sometimes, the most reliable option to download and update FTDI drivers, it’s to use specialized software that scans, finds, and brings up-to-date any outdated drivers on your device. We prefer this solution since it’s safer and faster than manually installing drivers.

How do I use FTDI drivers on Windows 10/11?

Once you download the FTDI drivers, you don’t have to do anything. The purpose of these drivers is to ensure that your FTDI device works properly. In this case, then you don’t have to do anything else. Disclaimer: this program needs to be upgraded from the free version in order to perform some specific actions. If there are problems with the device, we recommend uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. That, and reboot your computer.
