Solution
Hardware compatibility with your operating system will almost always be dependent on the software driver corresponding to your hardware. In this case, your PCI-8431, uses
the NI-Serial driver.
Once you know what driver your hardware uses you will need to look up the
driver/OS compatibility. In this example, you are upgrading to Windows 10, so you will require NI-Serial Version 17.0 or 17.5 to interface with your hardware.
