Did you got into Device manage to select v3.2.0.0 driver? I mostly use
the Prolific type cables here had to downgrade the drivers in my
Windows 7 64-bit desktop computer and my Windows 7 32-bit and Windows
10 64-bit virtual machines. It isn't hard to do once you get the hang
of it.

Just go to baofengtech.com and purchase their PC03 cable. It is a
genuine FTDI cable and their checkout system will let you pay with
PayPal.
