Micromax – the brand of modems, routers, smartphones, and tablets; had launched MMX 310C – a CDMA modem in the Indian market. Recently, Microsoft has launched its newest operating system, and the Micromax 310C CDMA modem is not compatible with Windows 10 OS.
However, with a tweak, you can use your Micromax MMX 310C CDMA dongle in Windows 10 / Win 8 / Win 8.1 / Windows 7.
Notably, when you connect your MMX310C dongle to Windows 10 PC, it prompts ‘Driver not found.’ Micromax fails to deliver frequent driver updates, and hence users are facing problems.
