I purchased a new laptop recently and wanted the configuration software on the new laptop to make changes in the field. I never had any issues installing the software or the DJI Driver on my desktop or other systems I had previously owned. After installing the Naza-M Assistant Software v2.20, I installed the DJI Driver and plugged in the drone for the USB to pick up. Unfortunately, after numerous times trying to install the software, the computer didn't pick up the new hardware or the fact that the DJI Phantom drone was powered up via USB.
NAZA-M Assistant Software 2.40 can be downloaded from our software library for free. NAZA-M Assistant Software is suitable for 32-bit versions of Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10. This download was scanned by our built-in antivirus and was rated as safe. The program lies within System Utilities, more precisely Device Assistants.

After searching the Internet I found the issue and an easy way to fix the problem. You will need these files as mentioned above:
Dji Naza M V2 Assistant
- Naza-M Assistant Software v2.20
- DJI Driver
Step 1 – Install Naza-M Assistant Software v2.20
This is straightforward, follow the prompts and install the software to make the configurations for the DJI Phantom. Make sure the drone is not connected to the PC. Once installed, close the NAZA screen as it's no longer needed for this fix.
Step 2 – DJI Driver Install
Start installing the driver from the zip file or EXE file. A popup box will appear to connect the MC, which is the Master Controller I assume. Connect the USB cable from the drone to the PC and power up the drone with the battery. Complete the installation and in my case it ended up showing an error message 'DJI Drone not found, nothing to update' or similar.
