While this cable works well within the provided LINUX VM, the cable may not work properly under Windows 10 without obtaining a third party driver. You may search the web for drivers based on the USB ID. For Windows 10 NovTech recommends a FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 cable (not provided). It should be connected per the following:
