Questions about the FTDI Platinum v2.1

[Freedom1029]

Hi there,
Can someone point me in the right direction as far as what need to be install as drivers. I am new to this so sorry if this might be a dumb question. When I connect my FDTI Platinum v2.1 device to my PC (Windows 10) it's not recognised so I guess I have to install a driver. I am trying to program the arduino mini (chinese I guess), so I might need a second driver for that as well.

Oh last thing, why is there two rows of connections on this specific FTDI?

Thanks (Merci pour votre aide)

Have you installed the Arduino software?
I had one of these until I lost it. I'm sure it was just plug and play and I'm sure the driver is included in the Arduino software installer.

@Qu3Uk Yes I have version 1.6.11 installed.

In that case what makes you think its not recognized?

@Qu3Uk the message received in Windows, and the device manager that has an exclamation point next to the device.
