I don't think Steam should see it as a Vive. The icon which pops up in the SteamVR Status window with mine, is one I haven't seen before.

Did you right click on the tray icon for the "Holo" thing and download the latest driver and firmware?

Yes I did that but I think I have found the culprit. You see I am being treated as a step child by Microsoft. I have Windows 10 N and anything media related like Xbox streaming etc it doesn't like it. Add the media feature pack and nothing. A Microsoft Tech I know said any application that loads Windows N it just ignores and tells you to add the feature pack. So no love from Microsoft.

So I have the real deal windows 10 on my laptop and it worked fine just had to flip the secondary screen horizontal and I can see everything just fine with one eye closed, so I will try it again. This laptop is an A10 with an APU and HD7600G in crossfire so it should make up any short comings. I can play GTA Ultra on it, and it looks superb at 1fps.

We shall see.

Mine was detected as a vive before updating the holo-whatever software and getting disable safe mode/enable direct mode to take.
As I said above, it took what felt like a dozen tries so I don't know what finally worked.

Same here. Once it worked, it worked, so I didn't get out of SteamVR until I was done messing with it. I'd say it was odd, but I have seen similar things happen with the Odyssey and the VIVE, but to a lesser extent. The difference I think is that the situation improved with those two recently, due to updates. I'd be surprised if this one gets any love in the future to improve the situation.

It says Ready (SteamVR 1.14) And I got the controller to pair, but I just get one purple image out of the right eye. Virtual Pink eye maybe? Gonna download some of that VR Pron to see if that fixes it, or I'll probably go blind anyway. Head tracking works, but the lappy didn't, so I plugged it back into the PC and.........Hello.
