Sony Vaio PCG 61111M running Windows 10 Home

Hi, this elderly laptop runs well on Win10 Home. Only thing Device Manager showing Question Marks on Other Devices: "Base System Device" and "Unknown Device". Have searched for drivers but no result! Any advice /suggestions appreciated...

Hi Timdamer,

Welcome to the community.

Can you please let us know the model number of your Vaio then we can look into this for you.

It will be something like VPCCW1S1E.

Thanks,

Thanks Ed. The model number is exactly as shown and printed on the original Sony laptop
label (although I do believe it may have an alias something similar to your suggestion)! But PCG 61111M is all I’ve got at present.
The S/N is 27506751 5002730 and the battery number is VGP-BPS13/Q – if that helps.
Many thanks for trying to help…

Hi timdamer,

I looked at your VAIO and it doesn't seem that Windows 10 is supported on it. Which explains why there are no Windows 10 drivers on the support page. I'm afraid the best thing I can recommend to guarantee functionality is to roll back to windows 7.
