Lenovo Y510P (Unsupported for Win 10) Camera Driver Needed


Hello and welcome ksuthayya have had a look for a driver for your machine but there are only drivers listed up to 8.1 not 10.
Camera Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - IdeaPad Y410p, Y510p - Lenovo Support (US)

Another Google found that there was no camera driver support for 10. for a similar Lenovo Lenovo Y510P (Unsupported for Win 10) Camera Drive... - Lenovo Community

Having said that my old Toshiba was in the same position and yet when I installed 10 Windows updates found drivers for stuff not listed on the Toshiba site.

Now a suggestion would be to get a clip on camera and install it via USB or like wise because it would have it owns driver. If my memory serves me right they are not that expensive - but still annoying eh?.

@ICIT2LOL

Thanks, sorry for the late reply. Yes, that is precisely what I was saying, that unfortunately there are drivers listed only till 8.1. Yes, I could buy another webcam and clip it on, but then what's the point of having a fully functional webcam and buying a laptop with one? Thanks for the suggestion though
So, I gather that you were also facing the same problem and settled for a third party driver for your camera that you got from somewhere else on the internet, not the Toshiba website.

Honestly, that is exactly what I would like to do. The reason I'm posting here is to find out if anyone has an idea about such drivers that would work with the camera on my laptop. I'm sure there are similar, if not the same, cameras out there in laptops that are W10 approved!

If anyone out here can help with the same, I'd be immensely grateful.

Thanks again
