Virtual Floppy Drive for Windows 10 64bit

Hello Daniel,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to create virtual floppy disk drives and use a program to write them. Since, floppy drives are no longer supported, it may not be possible to use a program to write a virtual floppy disk drive.



However, as the issue is related to writing data on Virtual floppy disk drives on Windows 10, I suggest you to post your query on

TechNet forums where we have experts who have more knowledge about the issue.



Hope it helps.

Virtual Floppy Drive for Windows 10 64bit

I have a old software program that writes to a floppy disk. it converts file types and loads them onto a floppy disk. At present I am using a physical USB connect floppy drive to my Windows 10 64 bit system however the floppy disks corrupt and crash frequently
which is time consuming as the process requires 3 different floppy disks with the converted files loaded sequentially onto them. The converted files are then transfer from the Floppy disk back onto the computer.

Outputted file types are .DAT .LDR .ND

I am hoping was to create a 3 virtual floppy disk drives on my laptop and allow the software to write to the virtual drives. can you recommend any programs that will work with Windows 10 and a 64 Bit system? Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the current Windows 10 build version installed on your computer?
   
2. Are you able to use the Floppy drive on a different computer?
   

As there is a prompt on the screen saying the software is loaded, I suggest you to open the Disk Management and see if you are able to see the device under it.

Follow these steps to open Disk Management.

1. Press and hold the Windows + X key on the keyboard.
   
2. Select Disk Management.
   

Scroll down the Disk management window and check if the Floppy drive is visible, if yes.

• Right click on the Floppy drive.
  
• Click on Change drive Letter and Paths.
  
• Click on Change.
  
• Assign the drive letter you need and click on
  OK.
  
• Click OK to close the window.
  

Hope it helps.
