Hooking Up Midi Cable To Computer With Windows 10.
I have a Yamaha PSR-280. I have MIDI cables hooked to my computer which runs Windows 10. I am using an online piano teacher (Playground). When I try to configure the Yamaha with the MIDI cable, I get the message "device not found." I spoke with a computer person who indicated the Yamaha might be too old to use with Windows 10. What says you? Thanks
