Install RFID Block Driver - Windows 10

Introduction

If you purchased your RFID Block after June of 2014, you may not need to manually install a driver. To test automatic compatibility with your system, plug the RFID block into your computer and open a program such as TagChecker. If TagChecker shows 'Ready' in the lower left hand corner of the window, your RFID block is ready to use. If it does not show 'Ready', try unplugging the RFID block and then plugging it in again.

If it still does not work, complete the process below.

Your PC will reboot during this procedure. You may want to bookmark or print this guide so it can be easily referenced after the PC reboots.
