CH340 is a series of USB bus adapters, while CH340G is the USB to UART device adapter. If you want to use CH340G on your computer, you’ll need to download and install the CH340G driver for your Windows computer.
There are two ways you can download or update your CH340G driver:
Option 1 – Manually – You’ll need some computer skills and patience to update your drivers this way, because you need to find exactly the right the driver online, download it and install it step by step.
OR
Option 2 – Automatically (Recommended) – This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks – easy even if you’re a computer newbie.
