If you're using Windows
-----------------------
In order to access the GreaseWeazle from Windows, you need to install a WinUSB
driver for it. You can do this with the [Zadig](https://zadig.akeo.ie/)
program. Download it, plug in the GreaseWeazle, and run it; select Options,
List All Devices, and then open the big dropdown box and select the
GreaseWeazle. You should see something like this.

Ensure that the Driver boxes say `usbser` and `WinUSB`. Then press 'Replace
Driver'. Once done, the GreaseWeazle will be visible to the FluxEngine client.
**Important note!** Unfortunately, now, the original GreaseWeazle client won't
work --- you can't use both drivers at once. I'm working on this. To switch
back to the original driver, for using the GreaseWeazle client software
instead, open up Zadig again, go through the same process, but make sure the left Driver box says `WinUSB` and the right one says `USB Serial (CDC)`. Now, when you press 'Replace Driver' the original driver will be restored.
