Question: Updated drivers for windows 10?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

The GCS1782 has been designed to be driver-free and according to Iogear should work with Windows 10 without any drivers.

As far as firmware goes, the GCS1782 does not have any updated firmware available beyond what was originally included in the switch.

If you have Iogear part number GCS1782G (TAA compliant version), you can find the updated firmware here, but please note, that driver will not work with the standard GCS1782 version.
