Ardupilot will not work with mission planner is there any help?

Mission planner seems not to work with windows 10 or 8.1 I have bought three flight controllers and am getting very very frustrated. can any one help or is this system a lost cause for the beginner?

Sandy,

Can you be more specific about how it doesn’t work? In general it definitely can work because I’m using windows 10 right now and it seems generally fine.

By the way, I’ve moved your post to the “Ground Station” area. Anything in the “Blog” section appears on the top of ardupilot.org.
