How to properly setup drivers on Windows 8.1 and below

Ok, so before we get started you will need a few things:

Your tablet.

A computer with an internet connection.

USB Drivers from Google.

Once you have the things listed above let's get started!

NOTE: If the Toolbox has directed you here, please skip bullet points 1-2 simply because you've already done them in the Toolbox.

Method 1 (Text Tutorial):

Extract the contents of the zip file (Google_USB_Drivers.zip) to the Desktop.

Open the extracted folder and install the correct drivers for your PC (DPInst_x64.exe = 64-bit, DPInst_x86.exe = 32-bit).

Once the drivers are installed, enable ADB Debugging (or USB Debugging) from the Developer Options on your tablet.

Plug your tablet in (let Windows install the drivers if this is the first time you plugged your tablet into your PC).

Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type "Device Manager" (without the quotes) and hit ENTER.

Once Device Manager is loaded expand the "Other" field if it isn't expanded already.

Right-click the "Fire" label and select "Update Driver Software...".

Then click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

Then click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers in my computer".

Select the "Show all devices" and click Next.

Wait for Windows to retrieve the list of devices.

Scroll down the Manufacturer list until you find "Google, Inc." and click on it.

Then in the Model category select "Android ADB Interface".

Select "Yes" on the Update Driver Warning messagebox.

Wait for Windows to install the drivers (comply with any requests to install drivers from Google).

Close out of everything and return to the Toolbox.

That should do it, the Toolbox should now be able to detect the device and push you through to the main menu. Enjoy! :D
