  • Although it can have other causes, the usual reason for "Code 10" is faulty hardware. Before asking you should have tested in another PC / different OS.

  • I just tried another machine, sadly didn't work either. :( Is there something else I could try? I literally just plugged it in for the first time some minutes ago...

  • Go back to the store and ask for a refund or replacement.
