My understanding is the Windows 10 does not support firewire boards. So what is the workaround for my Sony z5u ,analogue out to usb through a converter? Loss of data? Buy Sony hard drive developed for the camcorder on EBay $350? Any other information would be greatly appreciated. My old computer running windows 7 with firewire board died. Now between a rock and a had place.
Thanks to all.

Have you downloaded the 1394 legacy driver from Microsoft?
It's supposed to add that functionality to Windows 10.

Thank you. Work around without firewire board?

I have 1394 boards in both my Win 10 PC's. One is Win 10 Home the other Win10 Pro both run fine. Another of my Win10 PC has an interface on the motherboard.

yes me too - firewire still works fine and no issues for me.
