Hi Eleilson, 

Unfortunately, the drivers for NI DAQPad-6015 are not supported by 64-bit operating systems because the DAQPad-6015 were discontinued in 2015.

You can use any other 32-bit operating system, such as Windows 7-32Bits, XP or 2000. 

Or depending your application, it may be interesting to update the hardware used.

Why is there no support for this hardware? Is there a third party solution?

Unfortunately, this product is so old that it is beyond its product lifecycle and hence NI would have discontinued support. No, there is no third-party support as this is NI Proprietary hardware.
