### 1. Download Zadig for USB driver installation
Go to the Zadig website and download the latest version of Zadig.
Zadig is a tool that allows you to install the necessary drivers for USB devices like the HackRF.
### 2. Connect your HackRF device
Plug in your HackRF device into a USB port on your computer.
### 3. Run Zadig
Open Zadig as an administrator (right-click and choose "Run as administrator").
In Zadig, go to Options > List All Devices.
### 4. Select the HackRF device
From the dropdown list, select HackRF One or HackRF. If you can't find it, look for USB devices and match the HackRF device by its USB ID (usually its something like 1d50:6089).
### 5. Install WinUSB driver
Once you have selected the HackRF device, set the driver to WinUSB (this is usually the default driver).
Click Install Driver or Replace Driver if there is already a driver installed.
Wait for the installation to complete.
### 6. Verify Installation
After the driver installation, you can confirm that the HackRF device is working by using tools like SDR# (SDRSharp) or GNU Radio.
Download SDR# from AirSpy to test your HackRF and ensure it's detected properly.
### 7. Install HackRF Tools (Optional)
If you want to use the HackRF command-line utilities, you can download the official HackRF tools from the [Great Scott Gadgets GitHub](https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/releases).
Extract the tools and add the folder to your system's PATH to use the commands like hackrf_info, hackrf_transfer, etc.
After following these steps, your HackRF device should be ready to use on Windows 11.
