Using Lawson Labs Model30x test-signed
driver in Win10 Test Mode

A new signed driver to replace the "test-signed driver" for Win10 will be available soon.

Unsigned drivers will not install automatically, and will not even install manually, without some extra steps. When running an unsigned driver, you will need to run the computer in Test Mode.

To install the unsigned driver, you need to first install a Test Certificate, then you need to reboot in Test Mode, and finally, you need to manually install the unsigned driver.

Detailed instructions follow.

There are instructions on how to uninstall the test-signed driver and go back to the official signed driver from the Windows oline database, following the instructions for the installation of test-signed files
