ALFA WiFi USB Adapter with Windows 10

Normally, ALFA WiFi USB adapters should work automatically without drivers on Windows 10. Windows 10 detects the corresponding adapter and installs the necessary drivers automatically. Once installed, the ALFA Networks WiFi adapter appears as an additional WiFi device. You can access it via the network icon in the Windows 10 taskbar.
