    <p>What model PC do you have, what biometric device are you trying to use, have you run Windows Update yet?</p>

        <blockquote><a href="#91443"><em>In reply to andrek:</em></a></blockquote><p>I'm still not sure what you're asking for. You've not even said what sort of biometric device you have: is this a fingerprint reader, facial recognition, something else? It sounds like you need to go to the manufacturer for drivers, but you'd need to know the device you're trying to get drivers for, first. Since this is a home build, I presume you did buy the device so you'd know that though, right?</p>

    <p>Does your computer have a Hello capable camera, or a fingerprint reader? If not, Windows Hello is not going to work. Amazon has several starting at $39.99. Also available at the Microsoft store for the same price.</p>
