Ah. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. 🙂
From what I have read online, Firewire does not work well with Windows 10. Most people end up using dedicated capture devices that connect via USB ports. There are examples of what I mean in the following search that I did on Google.

A PCIe x1 firewire adapter would be suitable. Choose one that states that it supports Windows 10.
There are some examples at the following NewEgg,com web page.
I can't specifically recommend any simply because I do not use firewire.
Please satisfy my curiosity and tell me what are you using that needs a firewire port?
Is it a camera from the 80's or 90's?
