Hi, But before that can be done, Louis needs to install the USB driver, otherwise, Apex will be recognized as a Windows Mobile device. I think it might be better to use a Bluetooth dongle (I use that setup myself on a Windows 8.1 desktop; these days I'm using it to write BrailleNote driver for NVDA that supports BrailleNote QT).

The laptop is only using Windows Vista. It is also not a bluetooth laptop. How do I get my Apex connected to that laptop via Bluetooth or any other ways which will bring the output in braille on my Apex? This must be a very hard procedure I think?
