Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have Windows 10 originally 8, and the audio drivers updated for 10 but I noticed by installing the ones for Windows 8 originally I get the Beats Audio quality.  When I used the product detection tool, just feed back here, it does detect my proper laptop product and serial number, then when you confirm and go to drivers it pulls up a different notebook,so one has to manually input the serical number instead of using the detection tool.  FYI re drivers too, you get them now from Windows Update for Windows 10, but some drivers like the IDT Audio work best from 8, the newer ones seem to omit the functionality of Beats Audio if your laptop has it.  B-)
