Switching between the Gen 5 and Gen 6 drivers

Drive Bender v2.5 and above comes with 2 different drivers.

1. The original driver that has always shipped with Driver Bender (supports all version of Windows pre-Windows 10 / Server 2016) - Generation 5 driver.
2. A new driver supplied (and signed) for Windows 10 and above (although it is also backwards compatible with previous versions of Windows) - Generation 6 driver.

By default, the Gen 5 drive is installed on all pre-Windows 10 / Server 2016 machines. This is because there are some features used by these OS's that are better supported by this generation of driver. The Gen 6 driver is used for Windows 10 and beyond.

It is possible to use the Gen 6 version on pre-Windows 10 / per-Server 2016 machines (and vice versa, although this is not recommended). To switch drivers (or explicitly determine which driver is installed), do the following.

1. If Drive Bender is installed, uninstall and reboot.
2. Open regedit, and head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Division-M\Drive Bender" and add the value "Driver Version Override" and set it to either 5 or 6 (depending on your desired version).
3. Reinstall Drive Bender and reboot.

If you wish to revert to the default driver version, simply remove the registry, uninstall, reboot, then reinstall.
