Use windows 7 or 8 drivers in windows 10 USB headphones

[wicked_sticky]

I got a Sentey USB headset for Christmas. The auto install when plugged on windows 7 and come with a drivers disc with win Vista/7/8/8.1 drivers.

The headset is works if I install it on windows 7 and upgrade to 10 , but the drivers don't install in windows 10

Can I force the drivers for the older version of windows to install on windows 10?

If it doesn't install on Win 10 at all then you could search the manufacturer's website for a more recent driver. If they don't have it, then you'll have to wait until they do.

AHH YOU CAN RUN IT IN COMPATABILTY MODE MAKE WIN 10 THINK THAT YOUR INSTALLING IT WITH WIN 7 DRIVERS IT SHOULD WORK!

Another potential solution, although I somewhat doubt it would work

Sentey said they will never make new drivers for it, so they're not going to help. But there has got to be a way to trick win 10 to install a driver for windows 7/8 (since I know they work - windows 10 just wont allow them to install - has something to do with driver signature - I dont know how to disable the verification in win 10)

compatibility mode just starts a programs in a shell of a different version of windows - it wont allow a driver to isntall
