Windows Update installed drivers for the "GOODIX USB2.0" device soon after initial boot. Part was drop-in, but fitment is a B-. You may need to do some trial and error for centering the plastic button in the keyboard shell cutout to prevent contact or rubbing when pressing. Fingerprint recognition is great!
