To install drivers, do the following:
- It is recommended that the user re-scan their device list.
- Locate the device in the hardware list. Typically it will have a yellow triangle with an explanation point on it indicating that it is not fully recognized.

- Right-click on the device and select to "Update the drivers".
- Select Browse my computer for driver software.
- Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
- **Very Important** You MUST select the "Have Disk..." button (do NOT rely on the presented auto selection)
- In the file dialog that appears after pressing "Have Disk...", select Browse.
- Navigate to the driver folder:
- If you are using Windows 10 or 8, the default unpack path is C:\NVPACK\Drivers\Win8\
- If you are using Windows 7, Vista, or XP: C:\NVPACK\Drivers\Win7+Vista+XP\
- Select the "android_winusb.inf" file.
- If the device appears as FastBoot or Android Bootloader Interface, then select Android Bootloader Interface. Otherwise select Android Composite ADB Interface.
- If you are using Windows 8 or 10, you may receive a warning that this driver may not be compatible with the device. Select yes to continue.
- If you are using Windows 7, Vista, or XP, you may receive a warning that the driver is not signed. Select yes to continue.
- You should now be able to use "adb" with the SHIELD device and running "adb devices" should list the SHIELD device.
