Q: QuestionWhat external microphones work with Microsoft 10?(12 answers)
A: AnswerI'm using Windows 10 with this mic, and it's been great. After I upgraded to Windows 10, my soundcard wasn't working very well (it needs a Win 10 update, but the company that makes it hasn't bothered yet). So I bought this mic for dictation, and it works flawlessly. Hope that answers your question.Answered by Jenn
- A: AnswerThe cord is six feet long from the microphone to the transformer on the cord, then another foot to the USB connector.
