pci serial port driver

[glen40]

where can i get a pci serial port driver for HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF PC and im running windows 10

Enabling the serial port in your BIOS should allow Windows to detect the device and automatically install drivers for it (assuming this is a port on the motherboard). Is this a add-on card or one built into the motherboard already?

 

[glen40]

its already enabled in bios

Understood. In Device Manager, what error is indicated for the port?

 

[glen40]

it says there are no compatable drivers for it...........................do i need the pci serial port

Not unless you are trying to use a serial device. They used to be used for mice, old printers, and console devices. They are not commonly used with most modern systems.
