is my TL-WN722N wireless adaptor gonna work on windows 10?

i have windows 8.1, i installed drivers and it works great. however, i'm worried that next week when windows 10 updates it won't work since there are no drivers for it.

Windows will either provide their own driver or use an 8.1 driver

If you have the Windows Icon on your taskbar there is an option that will check your current configurations compatibility with Windows 10.

I think you will be fine. Windows will be able to provide a sufficient driver if the manufacturer cannot. Odds are TP-Link won't dish out a new driver because the current driver is plenty compatible with the already pretty well rounded Windows kernel. If it does not work right out of the gate, the OS will assign a driver to the device that does. You may need a hard ethernet connection for that first boot, though.

The Windows driver for some of their TPlink adapters will only give you 2.4 and not 5 ghz support for some reason. If your adapter is dual band

I know because I'm using one in windows 10 (the WDN3200). If your adapter is dual band and you cant connect it to a 5ghz channel (because the SSID doesnt appear - if your router supports it), you'll have to wait till TPlink release a driver for it

The Windows 8 driver didnt work in Win10. I could add it but it kept reverting back to the Windows installed driver

It did the same thing in Windows 8. The only version the 8 driver did work in and stayed there was 8.1

Which gives you both channels to connect to

And if you mean you need ethernet to get online after you install windows you dont.

The latest TL-WN722N driver works on Windows 10 for me but Windows shuts down the driver when the computer is put to sleep. I was having to physically disconnect the adapter and then plug it in again every time I woke up my computer.

I asked Windows Device Manager to find an updated driver and there wasn't one available, so I selected the Wireless Network Adapter Properties for the device in Device Manager and under the "Power Management" tab I saw that "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" was selected by default, so I de-selected that option and everything seems to work now.

Sorry guys, no solution here but i did a clean install win 10 and installed the drivers of my tp link usb stick, but it wont show any networks, i did donwload the 8.1 drivers, even though it was never installed in my pc. How can windows provide a driver if it can't connect to the internet and how do i install these 8.1 drivers assuming it will work after i do ?

Going to add to this old thread. I have this adapter and windows 10. I use the 8.1 driver and it "works." There are disconnects, and periods where it doesn't work. Really irritating actually. No sign of a windows 10 driver coming out either. Can't say I'm impressed with TP-Link.
