Microsoft includes a feature in Windows 10 and Windows 8 called “driver signature enforcement” feature. They’ll only load drivers that have been signed by Microsoft. To install less-than-official drivers, old unsigned drivers, or drivers you’re developing yourself, you’ll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
Before you begin, keep in mind: Microsoft isn’t just trying to make your life harder here. Driver signing enforcement ensures that only drivers that have been sent to Microsoft for signing will load into the Windows kernel. This prevents malware from burrowing its way into the Windows kernel.
Disable driver signing and you’ll be able to install drivers that weren’t officially signed. Be sure you know what you’re doing! You should only install drivers you trust.
Common Errors Associated With Driver Signature Enforcement :
A Digitally Signed Driver Is Required, Windows requires a digitally signed driver.
OR

The driver is unavailable and the program that uses this driver might not work correctly. Uninstall the program or device that uses this driver and check the publishers support website to get a digitally signed driver.
