    no error messages windows makes sound to acknowledge usb item inserted then in simplicity I refresh detected hardware and says no hardware found not getting any errors just nothing when connected for any of the 3 boards so im going to rule out a faulty board

    I'm working in Linux, Ubuntu 14.04,  right now. But I have Win10 VM. I'll crank it up, install SS and see what I can find out.

    Another forum says you may need a separate driver for windows 10 http://community.silabs.com/t5/Interface/CP210x-USB-to-UART-Bridge-driver-for-Windows-10/td-p/146192

    yea says on that one that the drivers didn't work for windows 10 think I might just have to salvage a pc or laptop to make things easier

    Windows 10 although out in the wild is not really a production ready OS, even if M$ claims so. image

    No problem...

    Ok, I am installing SS now with the EFM32ZG connected and it found it. But it's still in the middle of the install. I think it's going to take a bit. It may be hung up, seems like that happened when I installed on Ubuntu as well. I may have to stop it and do the updates manualy. But it did detect the SI board.
