    Double-click the device from device manager, Click Driver>Update Driver> Browse my Computer, then browse to the folder made from the zip you download.

    If it does not find the device, you could try going to the zip file and looking for a .msi or .exe to run.

    In that case, you should be able to install from the device manager; if you can't, then you have the wrong driver.
