Yes, I believe you are correct that my chipset is not compatible with Win10. Obviously obtaining a new adapter would remedy the issue. However, late at night or if you do not want to be bothered with obtaining a new adapter for something you very infrequently use, downloading the 3.3.3.114 driver dated 2009, installing the driver and rolling the driver back to this 2009 driver for the comm port your connecting the outdated adapter to, does allow you to finish your work without delay.
What I was doing with the Serial/USB adapter was programming a new Motorola two way radio so it could be used in our network. This is a task is something done very infrequently. Finding a way to use my existing serial/USB adapter allowed me to accomplish what I needed to do without waiting to find an adapter supported by Win10.
Hope this helps others that may also be in a bind. I have since, at my leisure, purchased a new Serial/USB adapter supported by Win10 so I can use the programming cable necessary to program any new radios we obtain in the future.
