Hi all,

I am new on the forum and just purchased a GCW Zero off of ebay (I think it is a Kickstarter version with firmware dated July 22, 2013). There is no Network icon under the Apps section, so I am trying to download the October 2013 firmware onto a Micro SD Card, however, when I try to download it, my Windows 10 laptop only allows me to save it as "HTM." I did a lot of googling and did not have much luck figuring out what I needed to do to download OPK files onto the Micro SD Card in my laptop. I think I am missing necessary drivers but could not figure it out. I would be grateful for any help with setting up my GCW Zero. My GCW is basically a brick right now due to me being a newb at this.

Separately. I did try to connect my GCW Zero via USB to my Windows 10 laptop and it is not recognizing it. I searched everywhere and did not find it in Device Manager (no yellow exclamation point and nothing called Remote NDIS) so I struck out there as well. Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me figure out what I need to do.

Thank you for the helpful link. When I right click it and press Save As, it only allows me to save it as an "HTM"
File. Do you know what I need to do in order to save it as an "OPK" File. I am running Windows 10 on my computer so perhaps I am missing a driver, but I am not sure. Thank you again!

It appears more people had issues with Windows 10.

There are three ways to access your GCW Zero:
- Transfer files via USB
- Transfer files via Wifi
- Move files onto an external micro SD card

All you need to do is download the .opk file to an micro SD card (to a directory called /apps/ on the card) and then place the micro SD card in your unit. An icon will appear and the firmware update can begin.
