I bought a cable from Amazon, a “Tenway Baofeng USB Programming Cable Win 7/10, 64Bit for Baofeng Radio UV-5R, BF-888S, H-777 with Driver CD” but Win 10 (64 bit) cannot find any drivers. Cable shows up in Device Manager as “Other Devices / USB Serial” with no COM port assignment identified and properties says “There are no compatible drivers for this device”.

Anyone else encounter anything like this or can you offer insights into how to get this radio programmed?

Thank you all very much!

It most likely either has a Prolific USB-to-Serial chip which will require that you download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver or a WCH driver which, since it didn't get automatically installed by Windows, means that you need to download and install the CH340 device driver.

The miklor.com website has links to the most common chip vendors (FTDI, Prolific, Silicon Labs and WCH) Windows drivers and instructions for selecting the Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver if that one is needed.
