Windows won't recognize the cable without the correct driver installed.
With the cable removed, you execute the driver to install it into the computer/ Then you plug it in. It may not be detected as a serial port yet. There are pictures in the guide for the two possibilities. You then follow the instructions to select the newly installed driver. Once the drive is selected the programming cable will be detected and the port assigned. It is all in the guide. You just have to follow it carefully step by step.

Repeating “Read the instructions” over and over without offering any actual advice is a waste of everybody’s time.
C’mon…

Follow the instructions in the guide step by step to select it. If you don't select it as shown in the guide, Windows will continue to use the latest driver and the programming cable will continue to fail to function properly.

Does it have a yellow exclamation mark next to it?

Hi all,
I bought a Baofeng branded cable and have now tried it on two different Windows laptops. Neither one sees the device. What cable really works with the F8HP?
