    1. This article is to show you how to download its drivers. If your kindle is not recognized, you can check this article. https://tencomputer.com/kindle-fire-not-recognized-on-windows-10/

      If you can find the files in the kindle but the copy cannot available, you can try next steps:

      1) Make sure your screen is unlocked.

      2) go into the USB settings on the Fire and change it to File Transfer. When the USB is plugged in, pull down the menu from the center top of the screen. It’ll be the last item to select.

      Hope this helps.
