## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works out of the box. No hassle.
*by M***H on 25 January 2025*

True Plug & Play in Windows 10. Just install it onto your motherboard and it works straight away. No messing around with drivers etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Straight Out Of The Box
*by A***R on 15 March 2023*

Cheaper cards are available but I was wary of their potential quality so went for this slightly more expensive StarTech. I did not need any drivers or fiddle with settings with this card. I just plugged it in and Windows 10 recognised it immediately. I bought the card so I could use the old but still readily available (and free) WinDV program to capture video from an old DV camcorder. Everything is working.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy installation
*by R***. on 6 October 2024*

Bought a second hand one for £10 cheaper. Only the packaging was a bit damaged but works perfectly. Plugged into the slot on the motherboard and picked up nicely by Windows 11. Just choose the capture software you want and away you go.
