Ok, so at the end, you can see that when you
plug in the Procyon, there's an error shown in Device Manager. The driver does not recognize the Procyon.
Here is a little video showing how to "force" the driver to see the Procyon.
The context menus are all from right-clicking the menu items, like the 1st one, right-clicking on "Computer" and left-clicking "Manage".
This will be easy for experienced computer users. We will work on making the install easier in the future.
