usb 8451 install drivers not working

[Jim12345678]

I'm trying to install the usb-8451 SPI DAQ on Windows 10 Box.  I've downloaded the NI serial drivers and the individual driver for the device, but after installing the device isn't entirely recognized.  Windows knows its there and even knows its am 8451, but it doesn't have a device driver for it.  The device shows up in NI MAX, but it doesn't recognize a driver for the device.  Any ideas?

More information.  Windows is complaining that the third party INF does not contain digital signature information.

See attached for error when trying to force the use of the oem64.inf file.

1. The USB-8451 is not a DAQ (Data AQuisition).  It is an I2C and SPI controller.

2. NI Serial is the driver for NI's serial boards (RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485).

3. The driver you need is NI-845x.

I DID install the NI-845x drivers; that's the problem.  The driver install isn't working.  I tracked down the .inf file used to install the driver (oem64.inf) but when I tried to install the driver via Windows device manager I got the error that the driver didn't have a digital signature.  I tried to attach the oem64.inf file but the forum doesn't support posting .inf files.  I had to boot the computer in troubleshooting mode, disable digital signature verification and then assign the driver to the device.  After that, it works.
