You plug your old phone into a Windows 10 or Windows 11 machine. The Device Manager refreshes, but instead of identifying the phone, it shows "Gordon Gate" or "Flash Device" under the "Other Devices" section with a yellow exclamation mark.

You need the zip file to port the drivers into the VM or install them offline to avoid the auto-update features of modern Windows that might overwrite them with generic, non-functioning drivers.
Since the Gordon Gate driver is older, it likely lacks a recognized digital signature that modern Windows trusts.
