A: Hi there. Our Insignia™ Bluetooth 5.0 USB Adapter is designed to be plug-and-play, meaning it should automatically install the necessary drivers when you plug it into your Windows 10 PC, provided that your computer has an active internet connection and Windows Update is enabled. However, since your work PC requires a system administrator to install any software or make changes under Device Manager, you might still encounter restrictions. If the automatic driver installation requires administrative privileges, you may need assistance from your system administrator to complete the setup. Ivy | Insignia Support
