Installation instructions for Windows 10

On Windows 10, there is a standard usbser.inf that will install the correct driver.

Simply connect the NXTCam5 to activate installation.

Sometimes it is not detected the first time, but if you unplug the camera and plug it back in, the correct driver will load.

If that doesn't work, please Download drivers ZIP and follow the Windows 8 instructions below.
