[chirp_users] With Windows 10, how do you change the driver for a prolific cable?

[Dean Berglund]

David, First install the driver that is on the Miklor site. 
https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#install
Then follow the instructions on the miklor site /*Installing the 
Backdated Prolific PL-2303 Driver 3.2.0.0
*/That should work for you on Windows 10. i just did it on mine./*
*/One more thing...Do you have Administrator privileges on your 
computer? Gonna need that.

I tried to use the update driver, which I had downloaded the correct driver from Miklor, to load in.  It kept saying that I had the best driver.  Is there a workaround for this, now?  I finally found my FTDI cable, and then didn't have any problems.  But, I do have a couple of Prolific cables (no doubt fake), so, I would like to be able to use them.  Thanks, if anyone has a solution.
