How To Install MTK Android USB (VCOM) Drivers On Windows PC
Installation of MediaTek VCOM Drivers is needed for a MediaTek smartphone to be detected by the computer. Most Mediatek Android devices cannot communicate with any computer when VCOM driver is not installed. The communication I am saying here is not just to copy medias or documents from the android smartphone but for advance ones like flashing an Android device.
Installation of MediaTek VCOM Drivers on Windows
For Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 Computer Users, you need to disable drivers signature verification for this to work smoothly. You can Google Search on how to get this done.
Download the MediaTek Vcom Drivers now. Extract it to a folder after successfully downloaded.

3. The Add hardware wizard will be launched, click Next to continue
