Will a Canoscan 3200F connect to Windows10

[suziegizzy]

I have new computer an Acer Aspire F 15 which uses Windows 10
Is it possible to connect a Canoscan 3200 flatbed scanner to it. I have tried more up to date scanners but the photos are rubbish compared to my old canoscan. I have to scan small items It runs on Scangear and ArcSoft

Hi,

Yes in theory it should work since according to Microsoft, Windows 10 should have pre-installed drivers for old devices wherein you don't need to install a driver for it. Once you've connected the scanner to the PC that has Windows 10 in it, it will install the driver automatically and you should be able to use it right away.

Here's a video guide on how to use the scanner with Windows 10.

Thanks Laptop_Nerd
I will have a go at installing the scanner on Sunday or Monday when I have more time. Hope it works. I am not technically minded at all so will probably take me days to sort out the settings again!
I don't suppose you might know why I am getting coloured lines in the background on my scanned images. After a few tries, they seem to go away but periodically come back again. Although its an old scanner, I only use it once a month or so for an hour or 2 so I assume it is not worn out!
