Why the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is reported as compatible in Windows 8 Upgrade Advisor when it is not compatible at all?

I recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 8.

I ran the Upgrade Advisor to check for any compatibility issues, at the time I had the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader plugged in and installed.

The Adviser assured me it was compatible.

I installed the upgrade and surprise, surprise... it does not work, there is no drivers for it, and the original drivers do not work as they are much too old to be signed.

Now I could accept that he may have been a mistake, unless it's Microsoft peripheral brand... Surely they can get these right at least!

Model name: 'Microsoft Fingerprint Reader.

P/N: 800163-001 X

Model: 1033

Operating systems: Windows 8 Professional x 64

    Hi Ze,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    I am sorry to say that Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is not compatible with the Windows 7 operating system from the link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/en-in/d/fingerprint-reader

    You can install the drivers in compatibility mode and verification.

    Most programs written for Windows Vista also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try changing the compatibility of the program settings, either manually or by using the program compatibility problems.

  • failure of the system after the installation of windows 7 upgrade advisor

    original title: failure of the system after the installation of the Advisor to upgrade to windows 7, which now, I can't delete

    My Winows Vista worked fine until I downloaded the windows 7 upgrade advisor - the system crashed, only load windows in safe mode, and when I try to delete the Upgrade Advisor program, it tells me windows service install is not available...

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    .

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Help, windows 7 upgrade advisor requires the removal of the player engine.

    Help, windows 7 upgrade advisor requires the removal of the player engine. I removed the Rhapsody, but it is still asking deletion. NOTHING I can find in my computer associated to Real Player. So please don't tell me no "Uninstall" that there is no evidence in the Uninstall list. Unless it is somewhere else. So, how can I continue my effort to upgrade to Windows 7? I tried twice already and he goes all the way to the end and then says installation failed and he returned to Vista. I have Vista Home Premium.
