Product: HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-g119dx

My laptop very clearly has a slot for SD cards on it but when i put in my old 4gb multi-use SD card from about 2013 (which has been in a 3ds the whole time) the only thing that shows up is a PCI device error saying the driver is unavailable.

 

I tried troubleshooting from the 'devices and printers' window where it's showing up as unavailable. I also checked the device manager where another guide told me it'd be under disc drives, it doesn't show up even when i have it show hidden devices but the PCI device does. 

 

Admittedly I'm a little worried about support for my old girl as when I tried to add my it to my profile using 'detect my device' the model would show up but when I click on it all I get is a 404 error and, several months ago I tried searching for replacement drivers / driver updates and there wasn't a single thing listed on the official hp website. I went back to check but now when I look for the drivers I'm also getting a 404 error? Could this be because I'm using windows 10 still and not 11? 

Sorry if this is a little disjointed.
