6. Wait for Windows to finish installing the driver.
Windows might complain that it can't verify the publisher of this driver. You'll have to click to install anyway.
(This is because, as previously stated, this software was not done by the MOD Team)

7. That's it! The driver is installed. :)

The MOD Duo will automatically boot into restore mode after the deploy.
