    Will Win 10 support a 3.5 floppy drive?


    I had the USB 2.0 port card from my old PC and used it the same way for my bank of USB connected optical drives. With my recording studio equipment and CD production/printing I have a lot of USB devices. All the motherboard USB rear I/O panel ports are used, plus several ports on the USB 2.0 external hub, and the ports on the 5 port PCIe USB 2.0 expansion card.

    I don't have any USB 3.0 devices, they are all USB 2.0 devices yet they all work OK on the 3.0 ports. I chalk up the floppy drive problem to the drive. A different brand floppy drive may work OK on a 3.0 port.

    The USB device listing shown in this thread comes from Uwe Sieber's excellent USB Device Tree Viewer. It's a freeware program, and very helpful in visualizing what's up with USB on a PC. After member Ed Tittel asked me for a link to the program, I decided to edit my post and include this information here, too.
