Keeping all of the drivers on the same version is the only way to guarantee top performance of each USB to Serial converter. 2) The other reason is to clear the system of device drivers for a product that is no longer used. It is important to follow the steps below in the order given to insure a complete uninstall of the drivers. The first step will remove the COM port driver and the second step will remove the device driver. Step 1 – Uninstalling the COM Port Driver • Open Device Manager • Plug in the older product so that the drivers appear in the listing. • Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) tree.
