HP ProBook 450 G1 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Gonna post the issue and the solution since I've seen a lot of posts on it.

 

My ProBook 450 G1 is old and I finally broke down and upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10

 

All went well except the built-in SD card reader in the front of the laptop wasn't detected at all.

 

WHAT DIDN'T WORK:  Uninstalled/reinstalled the IDE ATA/ATAPI device in Device Manager...no change

                                         Checked the BIOS to see if the media device was disabled...no change

 

WHAT DID WORK:  In Device Manager an entry for an unidentified  PCI device had a yellow "!" so I tried uninstalling/reinstalling it with no success.  Also tried to update the driver by way of Windows Update and also no success.  In the Device Manager>IDE ATA/ATAPI devices>Properties was an obscure mention of a PCI controller.  So I went to the HP website and located all drivers and found that the built-in media card reader is a Realtek PCI device.  I was able to update the diver and now he reader works fine.
