You have to choose the driver version in function of what you expect to do with your USRP. Note that you can switch from one driver to the other one by removing the driver.

The install process is the following one: 1. Download the driver file and unzip it in a folder that you are able to find back. 2. Plug your USRP on the PC. Windows detects a new peripheral 3. Choose to not connect to Windows Update

4. Choose to select the location of the drivers manually

5. Select the directory where you have unzipped the driver archive
